The thematic question of whether "necessary evil" is truly necessary is explored through Heita. Each character bringing with them their own morel dilemma.

Definitely recommend.

The synopsis is misleading. This is a psychological drama above all else. The thematic question being "necessary evil;"On the surface level it's may seem like a drama that's going no where, but through out the drama many things are being contemplated. The importance of change, Should you be righteous following the truth, or is that righteousness just pure selfishness at the cost of the people closest to you. Should the formation of something signify it's existence now that, that time has passed.

Many may be underwhelmed by Heita since he's not doing anything major, but in actuality he is the glue that connects everything to everything else. He brings out the human side of a drama, and best of all just because someone is doing something evil doesn't mean that they are evil. Heita looks faces the gray world that we all live in.

Sorry my review my seem cryptic, but if you watch the drama you'll understand it. And I don't want the drama to be spoiled.

Watch this drama, but only if you are into nuanced plots.

A Masterclass on amazing Acting and Direction.

The story writing is layered and at times can seem rather uninspired. The story itself seems non-existent, where everything, every action, every character, and every consequence flows naturally. But the Main draw of this drama are the amazing actors and how well it is directed. Acting and Direction are nuanced. Though it is a Business drama, it has the intrigue of a Mistry and the engagement of a thriller. The actors did not ever over act. The pacing hooks you and the developments keep you interested. The drama for light views may seem a bit pointless but is layered with veteran actors playing off each other. It is like an intriguing thriller that will you guessing its outcome. The dramas main focus is acting though, and you’ll understand what I mean if you watch it. Yes the drama has been subbed. Look in the comments
