From its first trailer to the last minute of it.WATCHER is masterpiece brought to life by people who know how to do their work at its best.

I started to watch this series because of the art in the posters(YES THERE IS ART THERE) that gave me this vibe i get from western thriller tv series, and as a big fan of this genre i let it be the first OCN thriller i've ever watched;little i knew it's going to turn into one of the best kdramas i've ever and i ever will be.

The drama starts with a scene from the past and when it comes to show the current time,three minutes after,for maybe more than the half of the episode the story might be confusing.What kept me watching you ask?the brilliant talent of the actors and the amazing work of the director that keeps you captivated to get more of it.
what i should tell now is that i started watching this series not having watched any previous work from the actors,so it was a pleasant surprise when i saw the great work of the whole cast team.
(Han Seok Kyu is such a big talent that you'll gonna stop in the middle to just ask yourself if he is even acting or this is him being himself...give the man all the awards that exist!!)

The plot is complicated.the amount of information that you get in every episode is a lot.This isn't a story where the main characters go to beat up the bad guys,most of the time you have to collect the information and have the brain to know how to use them.but don't worry cause we do have action too.
a question asked a lot during this drama is "what makes someone human?" and i think this is a great hint to the work of the writer,writing his characters in the most humanly way showing all of its complexity.
what it's needed to be said is that during the show there are some flaws in the script,but they are little and i think it does not ruin the whole good thing.

The background music and OSTs are so beautiful and catchy and it bonds so greatly to the atmosphere of every scene they're played.no need to say i'm listening to the songs in repeat.

All in all i loved this drama and i adore the fact that it gives you the vibe that maybe they will make a second season of it,what i know is that my brain and soul are ready to devour endless number of seasons of this LOL

(sorry if the review is not great,it's my first time and i'm just so full of emotions :D)
