As heavy as this drama was most of the time, when I reached the last episode, I felt an unusual disappointment that I wouldn't have any more episodes to watch, which normally doesn't happen to me with tv shows except for a few exceptions. A Season 2 announcement would really make my year!

Chances are you won't agree with 100% of the opinions in this drama, but what TV drama ever aligns with your beliefs perfectly? This show handles a lot of difficult subjects with a strong sense of justice and caring. I think my favorite was how it handled the tricky and traumatizing area of sexual assault. I really appreciated that.

My home country suffered from a very corrupt police system back when there was a war tearing it apart, and the country I live in now also has a turbulent relationship between the police and public. I think that's why I like shows like this, that give me hope that no matter how corrupt, there are still officers out there doing their best and fighting to change the system.

At first I was unsure how much I'd like the romance between Sang-su and Jeong-o, but by the end I was smiling at what a warm and sweet couple they were. A really gentle, close relationship that makes me happy to see. Not to mention the secondary couple, struggling to regain lost love after a divorce, that made me tear up a couple times.

As for the acting, it was just excellent. I walked in here a fan of Lee Kwang Soo, yet I was still amazed at how well he did in a starring, serious role. Please give him more opportunities. The actors for Oh Yang-Chon and his badass wife, Jang-Mi, blew me away with their emotional range. And Jeong-o did great. Honestly, there was not a single actor here that didn't do amazingly in my eyes.

I started streaming "For You" after hearing it so many times in this show. I think this is a memorable and deeply emotional, hard-hitting drama that manages to stand out from many other police dramas just by how much it cares. It's not perfect. But it's pretty damned good.
