I watch mostly Korean Dramas, but I have watched Chinese and Japanese Drama series too. People are saying it's fresh and unique and investigates moral dilemmas with murder. I don't think it's that fresh and unique in that aspect. I feel from the dramas that I watched that Chinese culture is more of a justice culture. And Korean Culture is more of mercy culture. This whole show is gathering mercy for a criminal based on excuses and circumstances and the people that got hurt had it coming. I actually see this mercy mindset a lot in Korean Dramas. In Korean Dramas, it's like poor baby serial killer, you were abused as a child and the guy you killed was a major jerk anyway. It's too mercy and excuses mindset in Korean dramas. I kind of prefer the Chinese mindset of Justice and no excuses. I realized from watching the same exact drama, the Chinese Version was Because of Meeting you and the Korean Version of the same drama Jang Bo Ri is here.--I realized that excuses are excuses and right is right and wrong is wrong from watching both versions of this show. The Korean version made me feel sorry for the villains and side with them more because I knew their excuses. But, the Chinese one, I saw how what they did was wrong no matter. I started to realize you can't pay attention to excuses. Anyway, I got side tracked, but I am trying to explain that the moral dilemma isn't unique and I see it a lot in Korean dramas.
Another issue is that Netflix needs a better rating system. They have TV MA, and I don't hardly see anything TV MA in a certain drama. Seems really PG kosher to me. Then another TV MA show will be a bit much. I prefer Korean shows partially because they are so G rated, even their Netflix TV MA are that way despite the label. However, this show truly TV MA. It's got a lot of cursing, blood and gore, and one sex scene with full nudity. That's rare for Korean dramas. The last one is.
A lot of the people in this show are just really mean and horrible. I don't understand how the main character can handle being around so many dirt bags such horrible people. To me, I found it hard to believe a world where people were so mean. It made the show off putting.
I prefer my G rated, beautiful, cute Korean Dramas. I don't appreciate the moral dilemma because of seeing it so much already and already preferring the Chinese mindset that I see in their Dramas instead.
The show was a little messy and hard to follow towards the middle of it. A little too boring as well. It had an interesting beginning, with the first 2 episodes. But, as the show went on, I wasn't liking the plot direction as much.
I will say it is unique in the way the main character is portrayed, or not portrayed. It's like he's such a loser that you don't even make a connection to him. I think it's that way on purpose. He barely talks or makes eye contact. Looks scruffy and like he lacks confidence to get a style.
The plot, especially in the beginning feels very unique too. I guess it's unique later on as well, but it's just not vibing with me.
If you like a lot of violence, lots of cursing, really mean people, and bad cops, and a main character that does bad things but it's a "unique" moral dilemma, then this show is for you.
It is unique plot wise and progression wise and also how the characters are presented. So, I will give it that.
