Where the lost ones go.
A well-made story of deceit and betrayal
Without diving into words of beauty, I am gonna put it in a simple word - this is your typical well made story of political-thriller.
Based on 2016 UK series of same name, it does well, in terms of emotional weightage, which is like Asian series trademark. Undercover uncovers the political corruption, power and greed in name of patriotism that has ruined so many lives. A life that could have lived freely was forced to live under fake identity in order to save a love that came in a way of that very "patriotism".
Imagin, denying your only family member, your own father you meet on a street, that they have mistook them for others, how painful and cruel it is for both parties. While watching this series, the elements that are infused with this story of deceit and betrayal, I can't help but anticipate the next moment and the grand revelation of this series is going to break hearts.
Ji Jin Hee almost always plays miserable character entangled in family and his work life. Based on his previous work, this series premise and setting is not unfamiliar for him and he transformed into his character very naturally. I have not seen anything but "Designated Survivor" from his profile and he does it so well playing roles with unidentified emotions. And as for Kim Hyun Joo, she was absolute brilliant in Watcher. As it is their second project together, in same husband-wife role, their chemistry is beaming, however it is not very lovey-dovey, like how it was in Flower of Evil. The FL here has much more things on her plate then to be concerned with romance, and her this obliviousness, gonna brought doom on her.
The children are adorable, Yoo Sun Ho who plays an autistic child has tried his best to stay true to its character, however it seems he is overworking on his character. As autistic child is not very talkative but the spectrum is different from individual to individual.
For those who are going to watch this or plan to watch this, expect nothing sort of great fro this as it is a very very basic story with all the elements that can keep you hook, - a good old recipe that works every time.
Despite a JTBC show, this show failed to garner any special attention even though it has average ratings per episodes. But watchers, should give this series a try, as it is definitely worth it, and not a waste of time.
Thank you to all the subbers for subbing it, as this series gets subbed three days after the episode release. We understand, but what is the reason behind this?
