Even though I believe Five Fingers made for an interesting plot and it had it's moments where I couldn't help but keep my eyes glued to my screen, I believe this drama failed short. I think what made me really become interested in this story line was the revenge between Ji Ho and Chae Young. While this story starts off like Baker King, the plot travels on to a bunch of what? and huh? The relations between a step mother and her step son, an evil half brother who wants revenge... Watching the characters break down (some even loosing their humanity) kept me wondering just how will this all become resolved? While that was a good aspect of the drama, the writer somehow fell flat with this production and left me wondering, what the hell just happened? Especially with the romance relationships which lacked chemistry and sense. While I will admit Chae Si Ra did a wonderful job playing as an evil mother, I couldn't stand the bitter end of her personality change towards the final episodes. If you've watched Baker King : Kim Tak Gu then you will definitely get the "seen that...been there before" stigma going. If you haven't, well then you just might think it was the best drama you've seen in a while.
