So I've now watched four dramas which all had similar features but out of all four-The Tunnel, Signal, Life On Mars, and this one, The Tunnel and this one is my favorite.
We all know what the story is about so I won't get into that. I will just say I liked the whole cast except the female who played the wife. Her face annoyed the heck out of me. I remember seeing her on Cruel City and had the same response. There was one scene in particular where she cried and it looked like she had so much work done on her face that she looked like one of those vintage porcelain dolls. She couldn't even cry right because of how stiff her face looked. Plus her eyes were so big that she looked cross eyed at times.
This series was met with a lot of emotions for me. It really hit home about losing fathers. I, myself, lost my father unexpectedly and the way they portrayed the fathers in this and their close relationships with their children had me fighting back some strong tears.
This series also gets into the dark side of shady construction jobs. I liked the way the whole series was evenly paced out. There wasn't one episode that didn't disappoint. To me this series wasn't all over the place. The plot was always consistent.
I also liked the characters sans the wife. I couldn't stand her. There are people like this in real life which really have me seething. It was hard not to like everybody else though.
The cinematography at times was a bit shaky, but I guess trying to portray realism shots was necessary. I don't know why I never care for the music. There were times when I was surprised to hear jazz and American music in the background like the remake of Roberta Flack's Street Life.
As always I always don't expect much from the very last episode in Korean dramas because they miss the mark a lot! This one got it right for me. Justice was served the right way but in my opinion the last 30 minutes was just too long. It got to the point where it should've ended when justice was served but I guess we got a glimpse of what everyone's life was like after making it through extreme life altering situations.
Last but not least, the very last minute of this series led me to believe that there may be a second season.
