Will have you hooked like crazy

A whole masterpiece. A masterpiece is the best and only way I can describe this drama. I binged all the episodes in a single day, each episode having me hooked and unable to wait to start the next.

It so perfectly portrays human instincts in life and death situations. How humans will forget all their morals and betray their close ones when money is in the picture. How we are so susceptible to greed and the inhumane extents we go to for money because of it. At the same time it also portrays any of the positive things that could happen in such a situation so realistically and beautifully, in the most moving way, keeping us hooked and giving us the hope that maybe humans aren't so bad.

Basically I just want to appreciate the way this drama had such a hold on my emotions, from giving me hope to killing the hope then bringing it back. How it challenged my mind on guessing to what's going to happen next.

I had been watching lots of romance and cheerful dramas recently and this was a well written change that I decided to watch. If you're considering watching this or are thinking of not watching it, I highly recommend you to re-think and give it a watch. You learn a lot about people and most of all, it really is just a good show in general (yes its sad and makes you mad and even very scared at times but that just shows how good it is).
