I understand the writer's intention to make the audience suspect Yo Han but the way they are trying so hard to frame him as suspicious is kinda hilarious.
On Episode 3, he was being threatened by a thug but he is supposed to be a psychopath after threatening the thug back? And the zoom in his eyes to give the impression he has an "empty gaze" was almost comical, it seemed very forced. My guy is an overworked, surgeon who has to deal with the fact he's the son of a serial killer, let him be!
I think it was meant to be weirdly funny. Unexpected/unintended humor, I laughed too when I saw it. 😂
That would have been the case if they didn't make a fuss about it later on and didn't treat it as something serious. The tone of the narration wasn't humorous, especially when Mu Chi went to talk to Hong Ju. But I might have misunderstood.
They really couldn't have found a better way to explain the missing evidence, aside from having a police officer eat the instant coffee? I'm sorry but that threw me off so hard, when the reporter announced on TV that "A police officer committed an unbelievable act of eating away the crime scene evidence" I bursted out laughing. 🤣 This is something I would have expected to see in a series like The Simpsons, not a psychological thriller.
I want to watch it but I have a weird relationship with Netflix's kdramas and since I have heard many good things about it, I will try and set back my expectations in order not to be disappointed.
Choi Hyun Jin as young Dong Jin on episode 9 was tremendous. He encapsulated Dong Jin's shock and grief after watching his dead parents perfectly. His screams gave me chills. I also liked him in The Scarecrow as the young Tae Joong, it looks like he could evolve to a bigger actor.
Can we just appreciate the fact that they casted actual young actors for younger Tae Seong and Dong Jin instead of making poor Jun Won and Sang Yi parade as high schoolers?
Watching The Killing Vote makes me realise why I didn't like Vigilante as much as I wanted to. It prioritized the action part and drifted away from its initial goal: to show why people succumb to vigilantism and why they defy the justice system. If we'll ever get a second season, I hope they'll focus more on that aspect.
