In the shining galaxy of A.N.JELL, Bangtan Sonyeondan & CNBLUE
Voice series are the perfect mash of slow burn psychological and fast-paced crime thrillers
finished, wow.
i think the final episode is the weakest of all the episodes that precede it. without giving out spoilers about its ending, the physical fight at the end felt kinda lackluster because they used guns to finish it fast and cleanly LOL. i'd love to have seen some more physical struggles between the two, but the villain actor here is not exactly an action actor so maybe that's why they can't execute it so much. it would have been a much stronger finale if they had done something like what Strangers from Hell did for the finale. their final episode there was awesome and batsh*t crazy!!
also when people say they liked Kim Jae Wook's villainess in season 1 the most, i think i can understand why. the gore in that is quite insane. but i also liked Kwon Yool too. the thing is in season 1 of Voice, they introduced Kim Jae Wook rather late, so they sidetracked a lot to someone else. in season 2, Kwon Yool was introduced/identified early and therefore more directly integrated into the story. in season 3, they used similar tricks to season 1 in introducing the real villain so we get several accomplices, and he comes through more towards the end. and unfortunately with that limited screentime he doesn't even have that many impactful scenes. considering his murder tool is the wire that can cut blood nerves very fast and cleanly, he may not have to be muscular and well-built. but i definitely wished it was played an actor with such physicality and someone who fights really well, because i think it'd make the creepiness factor a lot more intense. someone like Cha Seung Won, Park Hoon, Go Joon or Jo Dong Hyuk.
therefore, based on the series, i would say i loved Season 2&3 the most from the three seasons so far. Lee Jin Wook's extremely complex character and particularly Kwon Yool's villain character in season 2 really made such a huge impression on me. also, i am forever a trash for Lee Jin Wook because of this drama. i first watched him in Sweet Home and his brutality in there creeps me out a lot, so my favourite character there was actually Song Kang's. but from the first seconds i saw him here, i was already hooked. he's a very mesmerizing actor!!! i am so glad they split his story arc in two seasons, it ended up being insanely satisfying for me despite the tragic ending.
i was really close to giving this a 10 until i finally see the finale, but 9.5 is good enough. really one of the best out there for its genre!!!
