Crime and Thriller

Very thrilling, packed with plot twists and a very well-thought plot course. Every episode reveals a new bit of information about the case. The characters have meaning and use for the story and perform well as individuals. The best crime-thriller I've seen so far, the show was so good it actually reignited my passion for tv shows during a low I had with western shows.

Dramatic, suspense-packed crime-thriller with a very strong focus on the mental consequences that a profiler has to go through due to his line of work. The show has a somewhat slow pace but also delivers a nearly excessive amount of murder scenes, so highs and lows are spread throughout the season with a good insight on how the leads are working. While I really recommend this k-drama, the amount of killer point-of-view (it's really a lot) paired with the degrading mental health of the protagonist can feel depressing and straining to watch.

Damn, that movie has a high quality. Camera shots were beautiful, events were as logically conclusive as an action film allows to and had a great main cast. I actually liked the female lead for once as her actress was amazing and character well written (which is sadly rare especially in action/thriller where women are usually just a love interest or a sexual object). No romance at all, loved it.

Very well-made, emotional thriller. Ma Dong-Seok is fantastic as always and I also liked Kim Sae-ron, who played the female student, a lot. It's quite violent, the eery atmosphere and deep corruption reminded me a little of The Silenced (2011). For some reason the trailer for this movie suggests that it's a lightweight, comedic movie which it really isn't.

Very interesting plot, I especially liked Shin Ha-kyun's character and his overall performance. Despite also containing unnecessarily strong tendencies for misogynistic violence, which seems to be typical for the director, this first film of the Vengeance trilogy is for me far better than Old Boy.

Had some good scenes and an overall thrilling plot. Actors did a good job but the film didn't really do it for me, especially because the whole movie is so strongly tinted with misogyny and very unnecessarly long, uncomfortable sex scenes. Made it hard to get through for me, the plot and twist at the end from the manga are so much better. High shock value, other than that overrated.

Normally I like to follow the case in crime movies but this one couldn't offer much besides that. I don't remember much of the movie which tells enough about the story, nothing that made any impression  besides Shijia Jin's character, he was the best part about it for me. Viewers who're super into crime thrillers with lengthy police research scenes, a very slow pace and lots of talking about the events might like it.
