threading on the fine line between heros and villains.

story: the first half of the story was really messy tbvh. i still haven't figured out what importance did the reporter's role had seeing the ml says "i can't do this without u". the 2nd half however was comparatively good. there were a lot of “how's” tho, like how'd the bombs get where they did cuz he was working alone (ik he has an 170 IQ but still) why sound-triggered bombs? etc etc. action scenes were okay-ish could've been better. overall story isn't that astonishing but more emotional due to the brothers. i know it's weird but if lives weren't cost, if sympathize with the villain too.

acting: very well performed by the actors esp LJS & CEW. you can feel their pain, LJS’ desperation, anger and agony thru the screen. a lot of people say eunwoo cannot act but I'd say he acts really really well he's just stereotyped into the "idols cannot be good actors" belief, he even proves his versatility in this one. and Lee Jongsuk as a villain is *chefs kiss*. their roles really carried.

music: not too special, infact not even noticeable till the ending credits.

rewatch: I'd mostly not rewatch, if i did I'd directly skip to the 2nd half.

overall: nothing special, carried by the actors I'd leave it halfway if it wasn't for them.
