Deep romantic tale against a backdrop of crime

A gripping crime story against the backdrop of crime. The story has complexity and even for someone who does not watch crime stories, it was riveting, mainly because of the well etched out characters, both main leads and supporting actors. The romance is front and centre, and deeply moving.

While it deals with painful and difficult subjects like human trafficking, psychopaths, serial killers, the growth of the main lead, the journey of the lead couple through trials and tribulations more than made up for the difficult topics it covered.

I am so impressed by this drama - the writing, the story, the editing, the acting - everything in so on point. The actors in each role have done a stellar job, supported by rich dialogue and story. The comedy is a fine thread flowing through the drama, that shines and sparkles at the most unexpected moments. The ML and the FL are gorgeous and the romance is deeply moving. LJG does the usual outcast, lone ranger role but the depth to his performance is amazing - the deep seated frustration, the helpless of a man who is always at odds with the world, who nevertheless bravely tries his best to make it all work, his angst and frustration speaks through the personality which is repressed.

A must watch; but give it at least four episodes if crime dramas are not your thing, They are not mine and yet I loved it, it is among my top 10 dramas now.
