This drama easily became one of my favorites. I knew when I watched the first episode that this drama was something different.
This drama was really well rounded. Excellent actors, story, production, everything! It’s hard to find a flaw. Even the characters that are bad, you’ eventually get to know them and once you do it’s hard to really hate them completely (well except chief Jo, seagull, chief yeom, officer lee of woodshop, and the other gangsters lol but you know what I mean hehe)
I have watched all the dramas of PD Shin Wonho and I’d say that he is now one of my favorite PDs. He brings so much depth into the dramas he make without really giving in to the normal tropes of dramas these days. And just like his other works, the length of the episodes of this drama is around 1hr 20 min - 1hr 30min each, I do find it long but I’m not really one to complain since I love every second of it.
The only thing that really didn’t sit well with me is the ending they gave Looney/ Hanyang. I mean come on. Beside the fact that he is my fave character here, he showed so much growth and perseverance to change himself. His lover was waiting for him and I’m sure he would be happy to see his mom there. But why? Why did they have to give him that ending. It’s just sad. And after that, they didn’t even showed him anymore. I would assume he came to the same prison since they were driving him there when he got caught. And what’s up with the drug dealer from Japan? Why did he set him up? So many confusing things about him.
Also, Croney. What’s his ending like? And how long was he supposed to be there? Just really curious.
Hoped they showed Min chul watching his game also. That would’ve been nice.
But nevertheless, I give this drama 10/10. It now has a special place in my heart.
