Loved this drama!

The story was interesting enough for me to constantly click on the next episode without hesitation. I found it on Netflix and thought I'd try out the first episode but couldn't stop watching after that. The fighting scenes were the best I've ever seen. I will write about three different things in separate paragraphs. First, costumes, relationships between characters, and character development.

I'm really attracted to dramas that incorporate interesting outfits whether that would be that they're color-coordinated or have an intricate design. I'm confident that I could just watch a drama based on the costumes and nothing else. I'm not saying that's all there is to this drama because that would be a lie.

I really liked how the relationships between the characters have evolved. His relationships with his team gradually changed the more they got to know each other. All the members had their own share of hardships. Upon first meeting, they were distant but the more things they learned about each other the closer they became. The only person that the ML knew prior to him joining Rugal was a female colleague from his previous job as a police officer. He thought she had passed away when tracking down a criminal 'gang' but she was actually rescued by the same person that rescued him.

The character development is very apparent throughout the drama. The ML went through several personality changes. First, he's just a cheerful, and kind person with a strong sense of justice. Then, due to an unfortunate event, he becomes determined to find whoever framed him and punish them for what they put him through. When he finds out that everything he knew was a lie, he started to lose himself to anger and became something like a 'killing machine' but he tried to fight against that feeling as to not lose his sense of self. Towards the end when everything was accomplished he regained the same personality as the beginning of the drama but physically and mentally stronger. His colleague also had her own character development. At first, she is seen as a newbie police officer, fighting crime but through the rest of the drama, she is seen as a strong, independent character that doesn't like to show her weakness.

All the characters have overcome their fears at the end of the drama and formed a close bond but went their separate ways to contribute to society and accomplish their own role in life. I liked this drama but I have a feeling it's not over yet...I want a second season :'(
