A well-crafted story, and executed well for the most part.
This was really good, although I did have problems with the writing and editing in some of the episodes; with the most egregious example being the bomb scene, it's never fully explained just HOW Seong-jun and Seong-hoon got all the hostages out and disabled the bomb, instead we just get them slow-mo aura farming and mogging on In-seong.I really wish they cut this thing down, I'd say 13 episodes would have been the perfect sweet spot: not too long, not too short and just the right pacing.
But throughout the series itself I do have to commend the cinematography and the sound direction, absolute perfection. And the episodes that DO hit, hit *hard*.
Overall, I'd say that while the drama has its own shortcomings, the good parts still make it enough to warrant at least a try if you're into dark thrillers. I'd say give it at least 4-5 eps before dropping it, which I know is a massive commitment at around 7.5 hours, I believe? But I do believe that the underlying story is genuinely fantastic.

Amazing Jackal
Tight action movie, fitting cinematography and we'll choreographed fights. But, the one thing that truly makes this movie worth watching...And it's Jackal Tomioka! Who is the greatest character ever put on screen and I'm thankful to the gods everyday that they put me on the same timeline where this character exists.
