At first, I was reaaaally hesitant to watch this drama because it has Lee Je-hoon's face on its thumbnail (I'm sorry Lee Je-hoon). Even though people keep saying this is one of the good shows, but I disliked him so much ever since his character in Fashion King. In which, it actually showed how good his acting is that it makes people really hate him for his character. -skip-
But, I don't know how I end up watching this drama till season 2, the only reason I continue my premium subscription on VIU. This is a 'kill me heal me' kind of drama. In some parts, the storyline is somewhat triggering. But the anti-hero idea is easing and I think most powerless people would agree so much with it. We all need an anti-hero in real life as long as money can buy law. Even though this anti-hero thing is a kind of morphine, but the basis of the story that is brought up is surfacing serious (and fundamental) issues that happened in real life.
The only thing that bothers me is the lead character is too 'superman'. Yes, people could bring superhuman energy when they are on the verge of their life-or-death situation (because I faced it once). But please don't be too much, like most "hollywood hero" movies. In some parts of the scene (including the first few episodes in S1), I found that Je hoon's acting is a bit stiff. I hope this is not because of his acting issue but more of directing issue, because I found his acting is more flawless in S2. Overall, I really like the rainbow team chemistry. Kyung-goo & Jin-eon characters are super absurd, but they brought a more bright color to the story. And the one-sided crush from Go-eun to Do-ki is super adorable (and why would she called him Ahjussi? T.T), while Do-ki always gives his lil-sister affection to Go-eun. Also top-notch acting to the only character that worries me a lot, Jang Sung-chul, because he often played a wicked character too well. Also to the rest of the Prosecutor & Nakwon's team, what a great play they brought. And one character that I realllllllyyyy adore a lot, to Ms.Lim Bok-ja that brought a cute romantic storyline with Mr. Wang Tao-tzi T.T (a lot of tears for this one romantic story, because Wang Tao-tzi's mercilless act that plays a tough woman's heart >,<).
*I'll give it 4 stars because there's room for improvement (I want to give it 4,5 but I can't)
