I went into this show with I would say about average expectations. I am a fan of Yoon Kyun-Sang and I like OCN dramas but sometimes they end up disappointing at the finish line. However this one came through, scoring a solid 8.5 rounded up to a 9 for me.
The show starts off running with a gory stabbing scene, and Kyun-Sang playing a cocky and charismatic lawyer proved to be an interesting start. The soundtrack really solidified my interest as it switched back and forth from edgy and suspenseful to tragic and gorgeous using some beautiful string pieces as well as a very catchy rock banger.
The mystery is set from the very first episode, and the writing is excellent, dropping bread crumbs here and there for the viewer to come to the conclusion of "who done it" around the same time our ML discovers it. The pacing is done well, there are no boring or dragging episodes, and every scene is used to further the plot. The cinematography was gloomy and cool toned, using dramatic angles and clever shots to bring the story along. The acting is also really great, particularly from our villains.
I felt like everything was done in a realistic way, there were no dumb subplots or crazy leaps to be made to get to the conclusion. The show wrapped everything up very well, leaving just one tiny mystery at the end for the viewers to chew on.
Overall this was a very well done mystery/thriller, and for those that like this genre this is a must watch!
