It is a Masterpiece from the Past.
Everything about it is Dark.And I LOVED every scene,every line,every piece of music and every character no matter how shady,rotten and troubled was.First episode,just few minutes in it and..Oh Heavens!Do i hear The Rolling Stones - Paint It, Black??? And the Classic Rocks continues!I had fallen so hard i can't go back since!

As i have been watching Asian Dramas for only 2 years iam practically a newbie.I always check the new releases and relatively new Dramas but iam getting too excited when i find old Dramas,older than 2015,that get my attention enough to start watching them.And Karamazov no Kyodai is one of them.And God,iam so glad i did!

Always iam a bit worried about old Dramas.Mostly about the technicalities,the quality of the production,etc.Although when the story and acting is good,i can overlook and not be demanding.

Here,what a pleasant surprise!Cinematography couldn't be better to fit the Darkness of the souls.The pain and the suffering.The troubled lives our protagonists lives! I loved the faded colors in the flashbacks.The gripping music to accompany those scenes.The spooky crows!So E.A.Poe! The "photo shoot" scenes!So artistic! The narrative is superb!From the flashbacks to the present day and back to memory lane not a single dull moment.Nothing is confusing either,regarding the plot line.Is a journey from past to present full of autumn colors and painful memories.The gloomy atmosphere in this Drama is amazing! Perfection meets perfection!Directors,,cinematographers and the crew who chose all the music songs and themes.Great job you all!

As for the acting... The Brothers.I felt i was somewhere in a corner very close, watching them,feeling what they feel,being angry with their anger,being emotionally and physically in pain,suffering with them.I felt i was their little sister,unable to help them,just witnessing their lives.The Father.A true monster with black soul, behind the closed and opened doors!A scary character,made me feel uneasy.The definition of realistic acting!

Profound conversations and dialogues with depth between the brothers reveals piece by piece their characters,brings in surface all their hidden fears,their struggles and their hopes.You will not find even one single lame line here.

Is it a Sin to hate your own father and want him dead?Does this necessarily makes you a bad person?Can we that easily finger point and have a selectively morality?
I asked myself all those questions while watching.Sometimes it was hard to answer.Some others it was really easy.One thing is for sure.We all have a good and an evil side.We all have our inner Demons.Is up to us to feed or exorcize them.

There are so many powerful moments depicting emotions, thoughts and state of mind of the characters. The Father/Monster haunts the brothers even after his death.He is torturing them from the grave,leaving them unable to react,to gather their pieces and eventually move on.No,he is still there playing mind games and bring more pain.
I thought when i started this that all my interest would be focused on solving the mystery and find out who the killer was.That is the reason i chose this Drama in first place,because of the thriller & mystery element.I couldn't imagine that i would be so absorbed by the brothers' characters and get into their psychology.I found myself caring less and less about the actual crime and i was lost in their lives hoping to find a way to heal their broken souls,survive from their past and can finally look at a brighter future.

The 7,9 rating is not enough for this brilliant adaptation of the famous novel.Shame on me i haven't read this yet!But i definetely will.

If anyone can recommend any similar Dramas,please do so.Doesn't matter how old are they.Thank you.

Please do not skip this.You will miss the opportunity to experience such a Masterpiece.
