I Get the Hype Now This Shit Is Actually So Satisfying
Honestly, I intended to save this series for later since it's one of my favorite webtoons. However, the massive hype on social media made me worried about spoilers, so I decided to watch it now. As a big fan of the original, I think the adaptation is quite solid overall.
It opens incredibly strong the villains in every episode are insanely infuriating, and seeing them get their comeuppance is deeply satisfying. Unfortunately, the intensity dips a little in the later episodes, and the finale feels somewhat underwhelming. There are some changes from the webtoon (understandable, as certain scenes might be too brutal for broadcast). My biggest complaint is the forced romance subplot for Im Han-rim it felt really unnatural and unnecessary. Still, the cast delivered strong performances, especially Kim Mu-yeol who nailed Na Hwa-jin's cool, charismatic vibe.
Overall, the cast performed well, especially Kim Mu-yeol who portrayed Na Hwa-jin with excellent cool charisma. Despite some flaws in pacing and added elements, it's still a solid and entertaining adaptation.
