Easily the most amazing but terrifying kdrama I have ever seen
This one has a special place in my heart because it's the only kdrama I've ever seen that shocked me into silence... multiple times...at least half a dozen times I had to stop watching to emotionally process what I had seen just to remind myself that it was acted and that it wasn't real. Yang Se Jong plays 3 different characters: a set of clones and a doctor, and his acting never fails across the entire series.
The main scenes that I find the most memorable include the first fight between the clones which was incredibly done and the effects for that were the best I had seen in any kdrama ever. They were subtle, but my god they were SO GOOD!
The other one was the final scene with the doctor where he was vivisected... This is the reason I couldn't raise the re-watch value any higher because this scene felt far too real to me. I know that's the point but it felt illegal to watch that and I couldn't bare to watch that scene again even if i did watch the series again.
I noticed that there were a lot of kidnappings, rescues, and torture scenes--more than realistically i think there would be if this actually happened but I wont complain because the series overall was a great watch! :D
take out the final vivisection of the doctor and I'd watch it every year!

Amazing Cast for an Amazing Drama
If you are a sucker for dramas with a lot of action, injuries & crime, then this is 100% the drama for you.This is one of the few dramas for me that has an extremely high rewatch value. The cast in this drama was perfectly picked with high class acting pulling off some difficult roles.
STORY -
As for the overall story, we saw a lot of actions scenes with the concept or cat & mouse chases. With the three main parties involved, there was action, injuries & development in every episode. There were one or two episodes in the middle where the drama slowed down, but that was purely to prepare you for an impactful finish.
With such an advanced concept, explaining everything was definitely a difficult challenge. However, to my surprise I didn't feel confused. A lot of information was given to the viewers over the episodes, so getting a clear understanding of how & why things happened was great. There was some information missing or didn't add up, but compared to other dramas in similar concepts / genres, this was explained amazing.
CAST / CHARACTERS -
Overall the casting for this show was great with a lot of the main actors executing their roles perfectly. To me, there were two main characters that stood out.
Playing identical twins / clones is always a difficult role for any actor. However, it was pulled off perfectly in this drama. Everything from the facial expressions, way of speaking and facial expressions was distinct between the two characters. It was interesting to watch throughout the whole drama and at times made me wonder how the scenes were filmed to be so perfect when the two characters met.
Another character that really stood out to me was the female prosecutor. And if you found her annoying you, then congrats, she played her role perfectly.
It's impossible for two people to have the exact same fingerprint and DNA, so her conclusion that that main MC was the kidnapper was justified as both DNA and fingerprints matched that of the crime scene. Apart from that, as you see in the first episode, Jang Deuk Cheon was out of his mind, so of course she'd believe science.
If anything, she was the most logical in all the situations while investigating the truth.
REWATCH VALUE -
This has and probably always will be one drama that I consider to have a high rewatch value. Every time I watch it I discover more information that I hadn't noticed the previous time. On top of that, the action & actors make this a great drama in general.

Resenha- Duel
Primeiro episódio desse Kdrama já começou no 12 então coloquei altas expectativas sobre a historia desde o primeiro momento.Em termos de ritmo esse drama não caiu em momento algum, muito pelo contrário, sempre foi um daqueles dramas que davam vontade de ver o próximo episódio e o mais rápido possível de preferência, para entender melhor os acontecimentos e os desdobramentos da trama.
Mas, eu realmente não sei o que me aconteceu, já que no meio do caminho comecei achar a ficção científica meio louca demais e a parte dos clones muito exagerada...
Além disso, quando eu comecei a pensar que o policial tinha perdido o juízo e ia virar a casaca no meio a história, cheguei a pensar em abandonar porque detesto ver personagem mudar da água pro vinho assim do nada. No entanto, quando segui para o próximo episodio e percebi que minha suspeita estava errada fiquei muito feliz com isso.
Eu já previa que no final algo aconteceria com certo personagem, então realmente não me abalou o seu desfecho.
A interpretação do Yang Se Jong estava impecável nos dois papeis, são poucos os atores que conseguem interpretar dois personagens com personalidades completamente diferentes e nos passar essa sensação, e ele fez isso muito bem.
Tenho que dizer que fiquei com muita pena do Sung Joon por ser tão mal interpretado no inicio, o coitado foi um verdadeiro saco de pancadas e foi atingido de todos os lados, quando sequer tinha sequestrado a filha do policial. Pra completar levou tanto tempo para recobrar a memória que só aumentou seu sofrimento!
Curiosidades:
Esse foi um drama que demorei bastante para terminar porque estava bloqueado no viki pra mim e como tinha que baixar os episódios em fansubs, só pegava para assistir de tempos em tempos.... Mas isso não é culpa do drama e sim da minha preguiça e implicância com fansubs, tenho arrepios se tiver que baixar episódios para ver qualquer drama que seja por isso sempre procuro ver só na netflix e no viki kkkk....
Inesperadamente, foi o ultimo drama que assisti em 2019, me obriguei a vencer essa novela de fansubs e cumpri minha meta doramatica de terminar meus dramas inacabados antes de terminar o ano!
