Obsessed about truth and justice

The main message in this drama is on justice and obsession. What is justice: are police and law able to mat out adequate justice to the sinners? What if you have sinned because you tried to protect yourself and your family? What if fate has been dealing out the bad cards to you all your life, then one day, fate arranges you to cross paths with the people that has caused your tragedies? Could you let the past go, or use the opportunity to mat out the justice which you feel the sinners has escaped from? And obsession. Obsession is the core element of the story, without which, the story wouldn't even have existed.

The main characters are obsessed with knowing the truth, and some after knowing the truth, chose to make themselves the punisher and punish the sinners.... they plan and administer their own investigations and "punishments" on the sinners. There is also a character who wants to remain unbias and judge on facts and evidence. A character who walks the bright and open way, another character who walks in the dark and is constantly in hiding. Both go about finding out the truth in their own way.

At the end, in the last episode, you are left with lingering feelings of what is truly right and wrong? Everyone was born like a plain sheet of paper, and with kindness and gratitude in heart. But over time, due to life experiences and situations, they change...

The characters' obsessions actually lead to more injustices. That car crash, he was obsessed to capture the driver and find out the mastermind. But in his obsession, he caused a tragedy on someone else and that someone became obsessed with administering own plan of justice.... Don't fast forward and miss on the details, they are like a chain, one triggering another event, and another event...

This is quite a strong story, and the revelations caught me off guard too. Happy to watch a police investigation cdrama where the end is not obvious. Acting is very strong, solid actors!! Story is very sad and can be quite depressing to watch. 1 point off because of this. If you like mystery suspense investigation dramas, this is a good watch.
