It gets an 8.0 for being able to keep the pace of the drama suited to the time-span, having excellent direction, great character performances from all of the actors, but an especially wonderful redemption story that worked as a great trajectory for Jang Tae San's growth. Could have done without the excessive overkill of flashbacks (this writer really needs to let schemes and plans unravel themselves). Whilst I found the open ending fitting for a drama that was taking place over a time span of two weeks, I didn't appreciate the allusion to a possible to reunion between Jang Tae San and Seo In Hye. I believe that their relationship was solidly finished 8 years ago - despite the circumstances. Asides from fond memories and lingering affections, I never felt anything more between the two, especially when one considers how far both have them have come in 8 years. A time period of two weeks doesn't suddenly stop Seo In Hye from loving her partner of 4 years. I refuse to believe that In Hye was only going to marry Seung Woo because she was "grateful" towards him. Tae San's sole object of affection should really have been his daughter. (Not say that I would have minded him getting together with Prosecutor Park Jae Kyeong. There was definitely something between the two, but then again maybe not.) Got to admit, I started to enjoy the drama less during the final act because of all the flashbacks, the silly ways that the villain would slip through the net and the increasingly irrelevant presence of Tae San's daughter. I get that she's sick and Tae San is fighting to survive in order to save her, but we don't need to see constant scenes of her basically saying she wants her Mum and Dad to get back together once everything is all over.
