A Must Watch Fast Paced Crime Thriller
What happens when a narcotics detective becomes a drug addict?The concept is intriguing, we normally watch detectives running behind drug dealers in most crime thrillers, apprehending them & bringing them to justice. When the tables are turned, will you apprehend the detective or save him? Ji Sung is back on our silver screen with a bang and it is not surprising given his varied repertoire. Starring alongside Jeon Mi Do, Kwon Yool, Kim Kyung Nam; we have an undeniably strong casting with an equally reliable storyline. It keeps you on your toes, the antagonists are mean, given their rich disposition but hidden beneath the veneer of friendship and dishonesty. The drama seems to revolve around Jang Jae Kyung (Ji Sung). He is the central figure who just got promoted for arresting major drug dealer, but this promotion leads to his downward spiral. How that happens, we will recount that!

Great start, Indeed! Thriller fans are in for a treat
Short synopsis -There were three best friends - Jun So, Yoo Jin, and Joon Jae Kyung. ( but time separated them.) Now that Jun So has passed away in mysterious way. Yoo Jin and Joon Jae Kyung will work together to uncover the truth behind their friend's death. One is a detective, and the other is a reporter - a great combination! I'm looking forward to seeing their friendship growth again. The teenage actors who play these three characters are very good, especially the one who plays Joon Jae Kyung.
This drama is not just a thriller; it also explores the theme of friendship, which adds emotional depth. Ji Sung's character is complex and multi-dimensional, which is impressive. At first, I had some doubts after watching the first episode, like the female lead getting married and how the makers going to convince us with this element. But after watching the second episode, I'm convinced by the story and their relationship. Now I'm even more interested in what happens next!"
I'm really enjoying the pace of this thriller drama so far! I hope the writer and director can maintain this momentum till the very end, delivering one of the best thrillers out there. All too often, thrillers start strong but lose steam around the halfway mark, getting fall down with unnecessary side plots and losing their momentum(I experienced this with Adamas, but I'm still want to give it another chance now). My fingers are crossed that Connection will avoid this trap and stay focused, keeping the tension and suspense high until the final episode. Great start, indeed! Thriller fans are in for a treat - let's keep it up!
RATINGS -
Based on the first three episodes, I confidentially believe that this drama has the full potential to be an exceptional thriller. Don't let ratings influence your decision to watch or not - give it a try regardless! The story has already shown promising twists and turns, and I'm confident that it will only continue to intensify and captivate viewers. So, don't hesitate - dive in and experience it for yourself!"

Best thriller airing right now
Omg I was just holding my breath till the end of the second episode. what a fast paced series.. with lots of suspense and everytime leave us in a cliffhanger. Not to mention the acting, we all know the leads and their extraordinary performance. Ji sung my fav..From the 1st two episodes, we can see friendship, revenge, love, death, investigation, fight and everything. This is a complete pack.
The plot also seems new to me. A detective from the narcotics team (jang jae- he is the main lead) who, after being forcibly addicted to drugs by some illegal drug dealers, finds unexpected turns in his life. And at the same time, his old friend commits suicide which he believes as a murder. The main plot twist is that, his dead friend left 5 million dollar worth insurance money to both our main leads jung jae and oh yun ( btw they were not so close to give them 5 million dollars lol). it's suspicious. Now our officer has many things to unfold, like.. the drug dealer, the murderer, and also the reason for his friend to take a life insurance worth 5 million dollars, all while hiding his addiction from everyone. The answer to the questions is all connected.
It's interesting to me atleast. But I can guarantee you.. you will all wonder what will happen next.. for sure
So go and watch this masterpiece
