Without saying too much, this story starts after a young woman's murder. The murderer calls for a jury trial, and you'd think it's completely normal to do, and you'd be right, but you'll find out this event puts something bigger into motion. There are three main protagonists, but every character involved in this is involved in the story, that's what it makes it so monumental and complicated. We have detective Ryu Sung Joon, who has a bad temper but he tries to do his job and catch bad people. Then we have his older brother Ryun Song Hoon, who is an impeccable judge and always follows the law. There is also Jo Eun Ki, a social worker who tries to help young children and teens who are mistreated and neglected by their parents.

The cast of this drama was so good. This was Taecyon's come back, and he was terrific in this. He had chemistry with both Jo Eun Ji and Ha Seok Jin, and they also acted well. There were a lot of known drama actors in this, and everyone had their own distinctive personality. They all helped the story to be told effectively, although sometimes it could get confusing. Perhaps there were too many characters, because sometimes I got confused. I'll say, if you pay close attention to this drama ever since the first episode, you'll find clues as to who are the bad guys and what they did, although their actions may tell otherwise. The story came full circle at the end, and it was bittersweet to watch. The story of this drama may look simple, but it isn't. This is a story about revenge, guilt, betrayal, penance, morality, violence, neglect. If you're looking for romance, there is none here. It's all very raw and intense, and there is a lot of blood and gore, so you're warned. I would say this is more: does trauma justify violence?

The music was good but nothing special. I liked the rock tracks.

Would I rewatch this? I don't know. It was super intense and even though it didn't drag, and it was all tied at the end (mostly), it was super sad once you realized that everyone had been lied to or manipulated by people they trusted. Even the bad guys. So you'll be satisfied once you reach the ending, but will still feel a ache/bittersweet feeling in your heart afterwards. Still a good drama with good acting and writing.
