Just 2.5 episodes in and I'm really impressed. It's super well-made and it's a little bit of a bonus to have a detective element to it. Storytelling as expected, is top-notch. Cast is great. A great show on the fragility of life and living without regrets. I love it and can't wait to see more.

As I've said, the goal is to highlight the problem of the legal system. Vigilantism is a symptom of the problem, not necessarily the solution, perfect or otherwise. The show takes a leaf from episodic 80s dramas like The Equalizer, Knight Rider and follows the format of those shows.
I seriously want to ask what do you think about the big purpose of this drama because i dont get it. Yes it was…
There's an ongoing debate within the show itself about the limitations of the judicial system in SK and its relative effectiveness. Or ineffectiveness. One can only conclude after viewing the most recent episodes that the system doesn't work in a way that favours the victims of crimes. More than that the entire legal system can be manipulated by corrupt officials or the wealthy. The rule of law, a bedrock principle of civilized society is under serious attack. Not because of the vigilantes but because perpetrators get away with murder or get a slap on the wrist. I don't think the show condones vigilantism but it certainly doesn't idealize the legal system as it present itself here. However, to make a moral equivalence between what the Rainbow taxi crew do and criminals like Baek Sung-mi dol is a categorical mistake. There are reasons why theft and murder see different types of convictions. Not all illegal activity carry the same weight.
not everyone are bound to think the way the writer intends. there are many perspectives.. most of them are seeing…
What's the problem with disliking or hating a fictional character? I don't understand what the issue is. As you say, everyone has a different perspective on the show so why is it a problem if one character is not liked as much as another. Or even hated. This is normal. Rather than criticising other viewers for not sharing your views, defend your position. Go for the arguments.
For me this has nothing to do with "hating" a fictional character. The issue with Ha-na is that she is a representative of a system that is broken, inept and impotent. This is absolutely a deliberate part on the writing. Notice every time she tries to investigate a "difficult" case, really bad things occur. Consider the Udata case. She cornered Do-ki twice outside the building for the world to see. She almost lost 2 whistleblowers in said case. It isn't so much about her but about a system that goes for low hanging fruit -- picks and chooses cases they can indict. The cases that end up in the too hard basket become cold cases. Delving deeper as she tries to only sees more people getting hurt because she can't protect her informants or witnesses. In a real enough way she is useless. And I don't meant it as an insult. She can strut her stuff, mouth off lofty cliches but the reality is that she is powerless. And it certainly doesn't help the victims if you hold to the idea that it's better to let 100 guilty men go free than put one innocent in prison. Her hands are tied by the law even when she tries because she is up against Goliaths who see themselves above the law.
Of course it's much easier for her to go after the Rainbow taxi crew because they aren't bad guys. They won't try to kill her and anyone who works alongside her. Contrary to what she thinks they are nothing like the hard core perpetrators that her office is incapable of dealing with. What Rainbow does may be illegal but it is not the same thing as what Udata or the voice phishing were doing. Just look at the deputy chief prosecutor's approach, he goes for what is easiest to "get evidence for". The guy's a lawyer not a crime fighter.
No one objects to her doing her job. The problem is that she can't do it very well.
After binge watching that nice big dump of episodes and I'm all up to date now. They certainly ramped up everything (including the romance) in these last 12 episodes. This show was a bit of dark horse to begin with no big names at the helm but doesn't it make a heck of a difference when the script is good? The thought and the detail that's gone into the storytelling has been mighty stellar. The level of complexity in each case complete with codes warms the heart of this crime buff. It's always a breath of fresh air when a show respects the audience.
Watched this mainly for Alen. It's an uneven script but when it's good it's good. Love the leads. Yunsi and Huixin really need to grow up and move on. It's getting ridiculous.
Even though this romance doesn't have a lot of heat, it does have a place in the narrative because it is the mechanism by which Chu Chu is able to get the recognition she needs. I imagine the moral of the story is that only a man who is in love with her can help overcome the usual apparently insurmountable obstacles and attain the elusive title in an only-male profession in that era. Already we see Jinyu's impulses to protect her at great cost to himself so the pattern will in all likelihood escalate.
