Absolutely Incredible, One of the Best BL Adaptations I've Watched!
Payback completely exceeded every expectation I had. From the very first episode, it pulls you into a story that's intense, emotional, and impossible to stop watching. The pacing is fantastic, balancing suspense, romance, humor, and heartfelt moments without ever feeling rushed. Even changing specific parts of the original story they have made it work.I was a big fan of the manwha and this series definetely made it justice.
The chemistry between the leads is absolutely phenomenal. Every glance, every conversation, and every emotional scene feels genuine and natural. Their relationship develops in a way that is both satisfying and incredibly rewarding to watch. Not to mention the side characters also being so good and having their own particular story being told instead of just being used as background like other series.
The acting deserves so much praise. Every member of the cast brings their character to life with depth and authenticity. Even the supporting characters leave a lasting impression. It has everything: incredible chemistry, memorable characters, emotional storytelling, gorgeous visuals, and a plot that keeps you hooked. I honestly couldn't recommend it more. Easily one of my favorite BL series, and one I'll definitely be rewatching.

Fans need to leave their biase and stop recommending mid series like this
I couldn't get the hype of this series tbh, I try because I like the main couple's previous series but the story is just too cringe, I couldn't get behind the "comedy" and people call it mafia series which has NONE of it. Someone recommended it to me because I loved KinnPorsche and and it was just not even close to be comparable. It's like those "mafia" series back in 2017 with the most cringe scenes where the main character's backstory is never followed but focus solely in the 5 second romance. There were many opportunities this series could have achieve a great plot but it was just basic .I did like the second pair's story but it was never followed deeply either and even the third pair could have been interesting. I just think this series had the opportunity to creat a fantastic plot but the script was mid at best.

Absolutely masterpiece of a show.!!
You can tell when they invest on quality when producing a BL.It doesn't even feel like a BL but like an actual Kdrama. Korean producer really has a big name in the area and you can tell her mark on every piece. First of all, the plot. Beautiful, original it really keeps you intrigued and suspicious of everything.
Second, the acting. chef kiss. These two really nailed it. Chaeha really feels like this vulnerable yet suspicious character and of course Prosecutor Ju is absolutely intriguing yet you sense how damage he was by his father's murder.
Korean Bl really came over to bring a new game to the table. Love it.
