Great action drama with Namkoong superb transformation!
Another great action drama from Namkoong. His transformation for the role is amazing. I love how he portrays each of his characters differently; I would even say he becomes the character. The acting is superb.The storyline is great, and hats off to the screenwriter as it is bulletproof. With each episode, you are getting closer to the truth but cannot guess who the main villain is. You will be surprised all the time. You need to pay attention to the story, as there are quite a lot of characters to keep you in the loop.
I like the relationship that Ji Hyun and Yi Ji had, and how they became a real team, with trust between them.

great acting but too slow pace
The acting is great, interesting storyline but its too draggy and I got bored. I had to warch on high speed to finish it. I wanted to know how it will ends.Sang Mi suffered so much and to be abandoned by her family, specially her sick father. It was hard to watch. Sang Hwan character is so annoying and he always makes the situation worst. The real hero is Dong Chul. He risked everything to save her but it seems like Sang Hwan got all the credit for it.
Its interesting storyline and very sad to see how easily people can get brainwashed and even more that places like that exist.

The drama stands on amazing performance of Namkoong
I have to say Namkoong made this drama. As always he delivered awesome performance.To be honest I was slightly loosing the interest half way through the drama if not for Nam maybe I would drop the drama. The first half was so good but after that the storyline was getting weaker and no proper development of characters. It is disappointing as the storyline is really interesting and it could be a great drama. The chemistry between leads is great.
overall the drama is good but mostly because of Nam as he stolen the show.

very slow drama with a good plot
The drama is super slow but interesting so I kept watching. The acting was really good, Tae Hee and Ji Jeon done great job.Watching the main FL Joo Ran character was so frustrating at the beginning. She let her husband to manipulate her so easily and its hard to watch. The drama gets really interesting probably from 5th episode when the main twist happened. It is a shame that the whole drama did not have the same pace as the second half. It could been so great.

Good thiller
It is really interesting to see the development of the characters and the journey they had to go through to get the respect they deserve. The beginning was too slow for me and I almost dropped the drama but I am glad I did not.The acting was great. The story line is good and the killers were portrayed well but it is not as dark as I thought it will be. The middle part of the drama got me hooked but close to end I was starting loosing interest. Maybe because I watched Mouse & Signal which is very hard to beat and I have heigh expectations now.
Overall it was not bad and it was not great…

Injustice - It took me by surprise!
It took me by surprise. I could not stop waiting it. Wow Soo Hyun is amazing actor. I love his transformation due to all injustice and abuse. Its real shame that Sung Gyu had to die, I liked their friendship. The last episode felt rushed as everything was solved in last 30 minutes. They could add more episodes. I have to say I realy hate the due (prosecutor and the police chief). I cannot imagine how Hyun Soo must felt with all the injustice and no one believing him.The ending is not sutisfying at all. After all he went through he ended up on the roof and did he jumped?
The only enoying thing is the lawyers fungal! There was no need to include the sceens in the drama!
The worst thing is that the story that we watched can seems to us unreal but if you imagine how many cases like this must be in the world and people are imprisoned unfairly makes my blood boil. And if they are lucky and proved innocent and will return back to normal life they are traumatised for the rest of their life.

Good drama that could habe been much more
To be honest I was expecting much more from this drama. The first half was great it was really intense and I love the main character but after the other leads appeared the story was a bit dragging and it wasn’t so engaging. I would prefer if the drama would concentrate more on the main character Lee Tang and his retake of justice.It is real shame as it had much more potential.
Choi Woo was great…the role of killer really suits him.
Overall it was good show, not amazing not bad.

Great action drama
It is really great action drama and the acting is great…specially the villains are sick! I prefer the second half of the drama where the atmosphere was more intense and the fighting sceen were crazy. Also you didn’t have change of background stories every five minites like In the first few episodes. I didn’t like how they changed the scenes by blacking the screen, I found it annoying.I love the ending.I hope season 2 is coming. I cannot wait to see fight between Jinman and Bale.

It is not engaging at all
Well I was expecting much more from this drama. There is no real story of developing feelings between main leads as all of the sudden they are in love .The production was really good but I have to say it was boring and 12 episodes were too many. It is real shame as it had so much potential. I could not connect to any characters at all.

Disappointed....story all over the place.
I didn't enjoy the drama as much as I had hoped. The beginning was promising, and the main female lead carried the show with her excellent portrayal of her character. However, the second half became increasingly ridiculous, with the plot taking a nosedive. It's a shame because the storyline had potential. Additionally, the romance between the characters felt forced and lacked chemistry. The behavior of the main lead was inconsistent and his character seemed poorly developed. As a result, I started to lose interest and found it difficult to stay focused on the show. Also the open ending was unnecessary.Was this review helpful to you?
What a rollercoaster of emotions!
what a rollercoaster of emotions! I love journey of their love story and how the families got together. To be honest I do not understand why there is so many negative comments.The production,OTS and ascting is great. Soo Hyun is awesome as always.
It is a great drama. I like the storyline and even the episodes are really long I did not get bored. But I have to say towards the end the plot became a little bit enoying as I think they should concentrate more on their relationship than the ongoing revenge and the villain went totaly crazy, I think that was a little bit too much. And they sorted everything in last 5 minutes so we did not enjoy the happiness of our couple.
Overall it is a great drama.

Money rules the world....what people do for money/what people do with money
It is a great drama with a heartbreaking story. It makes you think about the world we live in and how people are barely surviving while the powerful and wealthy are taking advantage of it. The saying is right: "Money rules the world." You don't really know what life people are living behind closed doors.The story is based on real events, and the production team and screenwriter did a fantastic job in their research, even working as a driver for a call girl to tell the story accurately. Well, it is not happening only in Korea but all over the world, but ordinary people have no chance to beat them.
The acting was superb, especially Chang Wook and Bibi. I was so happy to see them together again.
For me, the first half of the drama was perfect, as the second half's storyline was not as good. Also, Dongu became very annoying as he suddenly started to care because his daughter became one of them. They should not have made Gil Ho immortal, as it takes away realism. The fighting scenes were great and very realistic. I loved the Gil Ho knife work. It's definitely a great fast-paced short thriller.

Perfect plot with unpredictable twists!
It is a difficult journey of a family where you can see what happens when trust is lost and seeds of doubt are planted. It also shows how important communication is.The most perfect plot that I have ever seen. I was hooked from the first episode and finished the drama in two days. I love how they reveal the truth gradually in each episode, and we get to know who the culprit is, or at least we think we do, as it is impossible to guess till the end.
Compared to other dramas where you can identify the culprit after a few episodes, in this one, it is impossible, and there is a new plot twist almost every episode. It makes your brain work and doubt everything you see. Hats off to the screenwriting, as it is flawless. Also, the director has done a great job of maintaining the suspense throughout the drama, and the cinematography and soundtrack are perfect. Of course, I cannot forget to mention the amazing performances of Seok Kyu and Won Bin.
I do not think it is too slow-paced. For me, it is perfect as it builds the atmosphere and slowly uncovers the truth. It is not like the usual thrillers where there is a lot of action and predictability.
I am disappointed that the rating is so low, and not many people talk about this masterpiece.

beautiful love story in Joseon.
Wow, it was perfect in every way. Even though it is a long drama, not a single episode was boring. The acting was great, as well as the production.The storyline is awesome, even more heartbreaking as the love story between the king and the court maid is based on a true story. To think about it, life inside the palace walls was basically a game of survival and politics, and not really living.
I loved their interaction at the beginning, as it was fun to watch. Their interactions made me giggle.
It was heartbreaking to watch the relationship between the king and the crown prince. They are family, but also the ruler and his successor. Later on, San will find out that it is hard to make a decision, especially when many lives depend on it. His journey was very hard, and he had to get through so many obstacles, so it was great that he had one person he could share all his worries with inside the palace and rely on. The last episode broke my heart. My eyes could not stop watering.
*****Spoiler*******
He must have been so in love with her, as he waited for her acceptance for 15 years, and she refused him the first time. If anyone else had done that, the result would have been death.
I cannot imagine how hard it must have been for him to lose his son and, a few months later, his beloved wife.
After I finished the drama, I did some research about the king. He had more wives, but he only visited them on the days that were set, while he visited Uibin almost every day. He also personally wrote an epitaph in which he stated that she is the only one he loved.
He built his sons and Uibin's tombs next to each other and planted almost 30 thousand trees. After her death, he became a workaholic and did not take care of his health, and passed away before his 50s. And it was the beginning of the end of a great era. Sedp politics were ruling the country, corruption was everywhere, and the people of Joseon were suffering. So it was the last good era for the people for a few centuries. If you think about it... if Uibin had agreed to become his concubine at first, everything would have changed, and his son would have ruled the country after him, and history would have been different. Well...it's all.just speculation.
