What made this drama so tragic to me is that I never felt like Ki Jun expected to survive. After Ki Seok died, it felt like he had already accepted that his own life was over too. He never talked about the future or what he would do once everything was over. His only goal was to find the truth and make the people responsible pay for what they did.
That’s why he walked into every fight without hesitation. It wasn’t because he thought he was invincible, but because he simply had nothing left to lose. A man with nothing left to lose is far more dangerous than someone who’s fighting to stay alive.
I also loved how the drama never needed long flashbacks or emotional speeches to convince us how much the brothers loved each other. You could tell through their actions. Ki Jun left that life for Ki Seok, and Ki Seok stayed in it to protect Ki Jun. Even though they had been apart for years, it was obvious they still meant everything to each other.
In the end, I don’t think this is just a story about revenge. It’s a story about grief. Revenge is simply the form Ki Jun’s grief took. He wasn’t trying to get his life back because there was no life he wanted to return to. He just couldn’t let Ki Seok’s death go unanswered. That, more than the action or the gore, is what stayed with me after I finished the drama.

Like, everyone dies, and I still loved this drama. It’s really rare for me to enjoy a drama that doesn’t have a completely happy ending, but this is one of those exceptions. The gore is definitely too much if you’re not into that kind of thing. I was covering my eyes every other minute, but that didn’t make me like the drama any less lol.
It was so violent showing way too much details. After 2 episodes I began to fast forward every fight scenes. It…
If you don’t like gore, just don’t watch it. It’s like someone who’s afraid of horror movies watching one, or someone who doesn’t like romance at all rating a melodrama. It doesn’t mean the drama deserves a low rating just because it’s not your thing.
