Fully of action and surprising twists
This is my second time watching this drama, i remember the first time it left an impact with all the surprising twists. However now that i have rewatched this show i think some of the things just don't make sense like i know its fictional but the fact that some of the things could just never happen as there are rules within the police and to me the only main bad guys in the drama was the cops and prosecutors, people with power.I did enjoy this drama though as I even rewatched it. wish there was a season 2 where we saw Shi Hyun get a happy ending.

I am feeling drowsy right now.. u know why?? BECAUSE I MARATHON THIS SHOW FOR 3 DAYS!!!!
I think this is the most intense k-drama that i have ever seen that keep me on the edge of my seat.
The cliff-hanger is killing me, i need to stop watching in the middle of the episode in order to rest, if not i would continue watching it..
This is such an under-rated drama compare to other over-hyped dramas, but the quality is better than some other dramas. The story is so dark and very twisted, you don't even know who is the bad guy and the good guy anymore, the line becomes blur in reality in drug cartel's world. It comes to the point that if we have the same interest and purpose we become allies, even though we are actually enemies.. and so on.. something like that. But somehow i don't understand and cannot follow up with the story and i am left with some questions.
SPOILERS AHEAD
Sometimes I will get lost in thoughts and I cannot catch up with so many Information that jammed into my brain. I need to repeat scenes to understand the story better. It's unexpected but i give a 8.5 for the story because some of information becomes repetitive with so many undercover agents revealed. Don't understand why the director assigned so many undercover agents, and they chased each other while doing the drug business? It becomes odd and confusing. The twist is also too much i think, so it makes me confused, but the intensity is real.
I pity shi hyun, really pity his life, but he is such a strong character... and i instantly admire his character in cruel city.. It's hard to not sympathized with him and his gang.
I need to warn you that this is not a romance drama, there is no romance at all, maybe only 1% romance of all 20 episodes..
Actor especially jung kyung-ho is very brilliant, his acting is flawless like i really can truly feel how he feels.. His pain, his struggle hmmm.. the rest of the cast are also wonderful.. I like all female characters in this show, they are strong. They are not cry-baby female who needs people to defend them. I put 8 for re-watch coz i think i need to watch it again in order to understand it better. Hmm coz after i finished watching this drama, i feel blank and i kind of forget about this drama although when i watched it i cannot stop... It seems that this drama failed to left a mark in my heart hahaha.
Music is dark, intense and can build up tense and suspense.
The ending is good, as expected, but after credit?? What does it mean? I don't understand it at all. That is the only issue i have, the ending.. i mean why after credit i see doc's son standing and calling someone...hmmph... It's only 2 seconds and there is no explanation, i hate it, it could be a 10 haha. I really hope that if he died then he died clearly.. if he lives, there is a scene where he is really alive...
Anyway, recommended drama to watch if u like thriller, dark drama...

`~Contiene spoilers `~El Dorama es majestuoso, en el mismo encontrarás acción, drama, romance y VENGANZA, te quedarás sorprendida con tanta acción, con escenas tan buenas, las cuales no estamos acostumbradas a ver en un Drama.
Las actuaciones, fueron fuuuuu, me he quedado sin palabras, pero empecemos uno por uno.
Jung Kyung Ho, Ajhussi, Gangs Ajhussi, Jung Shi Hyun, Shi Hyun, Shi Hyun Oppa, ver a este hombre interpretar tan excepcional papel, me ha dejado con la boca abierta, porque Shi Hyun es un hombre sin expresión, no tiene la necesidad de sonreírte porque igual te enamorarás de él, pero Jung Kyung Ho, es mi hermoso tontito, el cual yo vi en Smile, You ¿En realidad es el mismo? Oh por Dios, Sí, es el mismo, y eso es lo que más me encantó, en Smile You era el oppa miedoso, el oppa enamorado, sonriente, ingenuo, pero aquí en Hearless City, es Nuestro Gangs Ajhussi, el hombre que mata a diestra y siniestra pero que a la vez defiende a las personas que ama, el hombre que está metido en problemas hasta los muñones, pero igual te hace amarlo, majestual Jung Kyung Ho que GRAN INTERPRETACIÓN.
Nam Gyu Ri, es una chica hermosa, la cual conocí en 49 days, me encantó su interpretación, pero aquí se salto la barda, su interpretación es única, porque la vemos como la hermanita “Te llevo la contraria en todo”, pero después se vuelve esa mujer que es capaz de vender droga con tal de encontrar al Doctor, su interpretación fue buena, pero no sobresale a nuestro Ajhussi.
Jin Sook, esta ahjumma, me ha encantado, su ambición es tan grande, su amor fue tan grande… que crió a un niño que no era suyo, se vendía para darle de comer a ese niño, que ahora no ve más con un niño, sino como un hombre, hombre al cual ama, no como madre, sino como mujer.
Safari, comprendí cada pensamiento, cada sentimiento, él amaba a Jin Sook, amaba a Paksa, era su hijo, ese hijo que nunca tuvo, pero al cual le dio todo su amor, Safari, realmente lo consideraba de su sangre y por eso lo abandonó para que no siguiera sus caminos, este personaje me pareció tan humano, me encantó, lo amé, me fascinaba como hablaba este hombre. En serio que lo amé.
Y por último tenemos a Nuestro Soo, ese hermanito travieso, que daba todo por Paksa, era para amarlo, su actuación me encantó, porque todo lo hacía por su hermano del alma, TODO. Bueno hasta aquí me quedó con la evaluación de los personajes porque los otros no me parecen relativamente tan importantes.
Obviamente sí ya llegaste a este punto es porque también estás llorando como yo, en realidad yo me esperaba este final, lo esperaba era más que obvio que alguien tenía que morir, pero en ¿Realidad Paksa murió? Para mí sí, obviamente se murió, sí todos estaban llorando.
Al igual que Soo… ¿Por qué mataron a Soo? Era tan lindo, créanme que lloré…
Bueno el final fue… un poco acelerado, fue un poco ¿En serio? Siempre los malos ganan, en serio Paksa tenía que morir… pero ya resucitando a Paksa, esta fue mi parte favorita del Dorama, cuando la ahjumma felicita a nuestro Paksa por haber cumplido sus sueños y haberse convertido en “alguien”, en un policía, lloré también con esta escena porque nuestro Paksa, rompió en llanto como un bebé.

First of all I watched this drama in one go (that's why I'm writing the review just now after 3 days to regain my sleep >.

tropes' glory
Besides the ML looking good, this drama doesnt have much to offer, just a bunch of cliches from B-series movies: the love of two orphans, the big-hearted prostitute, the outcast saved by an innocent love, also a femme-fatale etc. Too many to keep track of them. Coincidences and misunderstandings keep happening... Oh, and of course we have a hero, or even two heroes, and also one dead hero - the fem cop.It's really a dumb-trophy winning series.
Dropped.

Já que não sou uma pessoa de dramas de ação, o que despertou meu interesse por este drama foi o fato de ser o primeiro K-drama que vi que se propôs a mostrar o trabalho de uma agente infiltrada no submundo do cartel de drogas.
Por diversas vezes ao longo da trama muitas situações e armações sem sentido são inseridas na história. Em minha opinião as pequenas coisas devem fazer sentido para que a história toda seja verossímil, infelizmente isto não aconteceu neste drama.
O principal motivo que me faz não gostar do gênero "Ação" está super presente neste K-drama: aquele personagem infalível/blindado/super-herói que consegue lutar com 10, 20, 200 caras e sair ileso! Confesso que se a história tivesse sido explicada de maneira substancialmente crível eu teria relevado todas as cenas de luta e dado uma avaliação melhor do que apenas um puro e simples "Assistível".
P.S: Nada a reclamar das atuações.
Resumindo: Se você gosta de cenas de luta e não ligar muito se a história faz sentido ou não quem sabe você pode até amar este drama.

Tout d'abord, un scénario parfaitement construit, avec une histoire qui se développe petit à petit sans qu'on puisse en saisir tous les aboutissants avant le moment fatidique. De nombreux rebondissements, un peu de romance sans trop en faire et des relations complexes entre les personnages, comme l'étrange relation entre Si Hyeon et Jin Suk qui est particulièrement difficile à définir. De quoi nous envoyer une bonne bombe émotionnelle sans virer dans le drame.
Les acteurs apportent tous un petit plus à l'histoire, mais avec un gros coup de cœur pour Jeong Gyeong Ho et Nam Gyu Ri qui forment un couple étonnant mais touchant. Le premier avec son côté froid et sans pitié et la seconde avec sa naïveté, qui évoluent tous deux au fur et à mesure de leur relation et de l'avancement de l'histoire. Une relation également complexe car couverte par des mensonges et des secrets. Clairement un des meilleurs baisers de drama et celui qui m'a le plus marquée.
Une très belle bromance entre Si Hyeon et Hyeon Su qui contraste avec cet univers où la trahison est partout et où le profit passe avant les amis.
Un final qui suit la logique du drama et qui n'aurait pu être différent, avec tout de même une ouverture qui laisse libre court à l'imagination.
Des musiques sombres et tristes qui collent parfaitement à l'ambiance du drama, particulièrement "Wound" de Kim Yong Jin.
En conclusion, un drama sombre qui vous fait passer par toutes les émotions et qui se dévore sans restriction. Une véritable découverte avec des acteurs bluffants dans leurs rôles.
