Indeed an Action Thriller!

Honestly watched this for Han Sohee (Jiwoo) and she didn’t disappoint at all! Her acting was topnotch and she was able to portray every bit of emotion that was needed for her character. I was also pleasantly surprised with Park Heeson’s (Choi Moojin) acting as well! He nailed that badass gang leader character and was also able to portray his character’s depth as well.

The series was also well filmed. They did a great job with setting the tone for each and every scene all throughout the series. The action scenes will also leave you wanting for more! Han So Hee really did a great job performing all those stunts.

The only thing quite unfortunate for this series was that the story was quite predictable especially if you have watched a lot of noir gangster movies or series. It was especially the case for me as I already had a hunch right from the earlier episodes on who was the killer. Mostly because the premise of a gang leader taking someone under his wing to ‘supposedly’ help fulfill their revenge is quite common in my opinion.
The unexpected romance was in the end was honestly quite a surprise but it doesn’t necessarily mean it was bad. Especially if we’ll try to understand Jiwoo’s character wherein she finally met someone who knew the other part of her but nonetheless still believed in her until the end.

Overall, it was still an enjoyable watch for me and I didn’t mind the predictable plotline because they still managed to execute the story in a unique way.
It indeed lived up to my expectation of it being an Action Thriller!
