“Are monsters born or made?” That’s the question that this drama want you to answer. I watched this drama just because Kyungsoo was in there. And, I’m afraid to say, it was the only reason why I didn’t drop it after two episodes. The plot is quite interesting. A family is crashed by a young and clever serial killer. That handsome serial killer takes away the little kid of the family, making the older one crave for revenge. The plot itself isn’t the real reason why I gave this drama 6 out of 10. It had a great potential : an epic battle between two brothers and the man who teared their family apart. BUT, as we all know when it comes to korean drama, the only thing that spoiled it all was the romance that the screenwriters tried so hard to gave us. Two completely opposite characters : the dumb, nagging and useless female cop, who didn’t act once as a heroine. And the clever criminologist, who’s character was pretty good but got ruined by the female lead toward the end of the story. The little brother, Lee Min, was the sugar to pour in this bitter tea. He was educated by a serial killer, so in the end he became one himself. His personality, his appearance and his morals were fascinating. Yet, he was a huge attention seeker, he forgot really quickly about his revenge toward his brother, making the plot lacking some good concepts. Lee JunYeong was supposed to be a creepy and dangerous man. Unfortunately, he wasn’t. All his charisma, the charisma that Kyungsoo gave to the character while playing his younger self, was totally outshine after growing old. He was a pure and innocent man who had two choices : to forgive his family or to punish them. They tried to give him a sad story just to make sympathize with him. His characters became pathetic in the end. Just a poor man who just wants to built a family with those kids. Cha JinHa was a pain in the back. A stalker, useless, sleepyhead girl who just wanted to make Lee Hyeon her boyfriend. She was such a bad character that I couldn’t stand her for only two seconds. This drama had a good plot. But once again, korean screenwriters spoiled it with a romantic and stupid love story.
