What I appreciate in this drama is how it doesn't try to normalise drugs or glorify them but at the same time, it doesn't demonize drug addicts nor people who get involved in this "business". Unfortunately, in our society, many people will go to great lengths in order to gain money and help their families or themselves. Circumstances shape our actions and they often dictate how we'll act. Eun Soo found herself in a desperate position and she's doing everything she can. Dong Hyun also wanted to seek a better future for his brother, he never enjoyed the life he had under Phantom and he even wanted to change for the best by looking for a normal job. Even James is not portrayed as a villain but a morally grey person.
The police officer has said it the best: criminals should be arrested but there are times when people commit crimes due to desperation. The series really questions our morality, we don't condemn Eun Soo and Gyeong's action but we can still sympathize with them.
Another great and intense episode, seems like the second half will be even more exciting than the first one. There are so many twists and theories forming, I have such a great time trying to guess how this mess will end. I like how Gyeong warms up to Eun Soo more and the story focused more on the police subplot. Something is definitely fishy with that one detective, I think that he must be involved with Phantom. Eun Soo's friend is suspicious too. Cannot wait for next week's episodes.
Another thing I love about this drama is they didn't make Eunsoo a damsel in distress. She's a quick thinker and…
Even if she acts like a damsel in dstress, it's perfectly logical. She was a regular civilian who possessed drugs and who wants to save her family. Of course she would be scared and anxious at first, it's a very realistic behavior.
Episode 5 is definitely one of the best so far. I liked Gyeong and Eun Soo's bonding and it seems like we'll get more of Gyeong's past in the second half. I'm very excited and anxious about what's going to happen next.
I really appreciated the deeper route the story followed in the second part. It's a pity that the film couldn't utilize its themes better, it was too short to properly explore the story and the characters.
I really liked the first 4 episodes where the negotiation skills of Mr. Shin were key content. Episodes 5 and…
I think that the second part will focus more on Shin and the murder of his son. It also seems like that the father of the girl who he had saved is on his track. I expect to see more of him and his negotiations. But I agree about the romance part, I hope it will not overshadow the plot. It was better when it was more subtle.
