The show that will satiate your cravings for Action, Crime Mystery, and Drama

What a very clever writing and stellar acting! This, people, is how a drama should be. The amalgamation of all the top ingredients turned this into a masterpiece.

Writing: 10/10
OST: 10/10
Cinematography: 10/10
Filming technique: 10/10
Acting: 100/10!!!

I may have boarded a different romantic ship but the ending satisfied me nonetheless. The FL’s character still doesn’t sit well with me and I kinda feel bad that she ended up with the show’s greatest character.

Overall, what matters is that the issues were all resolved and the story arcs were well-delivered. Makes me question why this drama didn’t receive the hype that it deserved. All thanks to SeonHo’s skyrocketing popularity, this show has been given another chance to prove how well-done it is.

My only concern though was that I did not really get on the love line. I understand that most people with the same situation would naturally create feelings for each other but my personal values did not totally buy the couple that was pushed by the Writer. To me, had it been ended by just a Senior-Junior relationship between the two, I would have understood it way better. However, just when I thought the pairing would leave me more what ifs and questions, the Writer brilliantly included such and portrayed how my worries aren’ worth worrying for afterall. Haha!

Thank you, Writer-nim and PD-nim for this masterpiece. Everyone shone in this series. I even rooted and cried for the bad guys. My heart goes out to everyone introduced and I’d take pieces of them where ever I go. You made me love taking trains even more. Really excited for your next project! Please hurry and come back to us with your next amazing creation.

P.S. To my favorite character, Ma Ri. I am rooting for you! You are not alone, sweetie. You’ve done great and you will continue to prove to everyone your brilliance and competence. Someday, you’ll also find your true love who would trust the depth of your love and loyalty. Someone who would fear to lose and hurt you. Continue kicking ass, Ma Ri-ya!

PPS. I came back to remove a point from my originally 10/10 rating. It didn’t feel right to give it a 10/10 when I disliked the FL’s character so much. The things she did were still unforgivable in my eyes. She’s just lucky she is surrounded by considerate, forgiving, and understanding people who were all charmed by whatever it is that they see in her.
