This is one of the best drama that is full of intrigue, deception, betrayal, sacrifice and also loyalty.

This is a story of how someone could sacrifice almost anything in search of the truth and revenge. Full of deception and schemes. It portrays the world as shades of grey.

The main protagonists, Jung Si Hyun, is written and acted very well. In the beginning he may seem like a really cold person, but as the story goes, we began to see a lot of different side of him. We begin to understand what made him did what he did and sympathize with his fight for revenge.

I’m not a big fan of Yoon Soo Min character, it’s not developed enough and I didn’t believe in the love story between her and Si Hyun.

Detective Ji Hyung Min character is well written and developed, I love how every interaction between him and Si Hyun bring something more to the story. How he grow from the naive detective to realize that nothing is black and white.

All the people around Si Hyun have a really good background story and development, well other than Soo Min. Love Lee Jin Sook and Safari character development. You could never guess what they are going to do and you keep doubting whether they are a good guy or a bad guy.

All the cast is superb.. The music compliment the story..

The cinematography is also very nice, all grimey and dirty.
