Leaves you wanting more
It started as a masterpiece with an episode that is so tightly scripted, with such an immediacy, you just know they don't fool around. It ended with a masterpiece, with two episodes that felt like Memories of Murder's tunnel scene made into a dark, gritty drama.
I am not entirely convinced about the tonal changes throughout, the humor might serve as necessary comic relief but other dramas like the immensely underrated 'The King Of Pigs' didn't have that and worked better in that aspect.
What worked very well was D.P.'s brevity. Although you could fill several seasons with material the brevity serves the urgency of the topic, rather than fizzling out in mediocrity they finish on a high note.
The acting was top notch throughout, Jung Hae In and Jo Hyun Chul in particular were phenomenal.
