If you loved Chief Kim, you will love this (as long as you are fine watching something more violent)

When I first heard of this drama and say the trailer, I was a bit confused. The trailer has a tonal whiplash to it that made it seem like an uneven drama. But in reality, the drama was well-balanced, while it did go dark for certain scenes. The tone of it was well-balanced and I rarely found it off-putting when it moved from comedy to dramatic to violent.

The plot of this drama is very similar to Chief Kim. You've got similar character archetypes, a main character who can be kinda crazy, and corporate villains. But there are unique aspects to this drama, such as the flair some of the characters have and how violence and murder are much more prevalent. Also it doesn't really have a mystery element that Chief Kim had with its plot, with this drama being more about the heroes and villains clashing. Any mystery set up usually gets solved really quickly as it pushes the plot forward. With that, there are some really predictable elements. The end of the episodes become somewhat predictable, even though its clearly designed to be suspenseful and keep you on the edge of your seat. It just gets a bit tiring by the later episodes.

The biggest detractor in this drama is it doesn't have an addictive soundtrack like Chief Kim or a drama like Stranger. It has some good tracks but it would have been really elevated with a strong hero's theme. But the fact that the music is the biggest detractor says how good the rest of the show is. I wasn't too impressed with the fiery priest but this drama is the worthy successor to Chief Kim.
