This had been on my plan to watch list for a year and I final watched it because of the high ratings and rave reviews here on MDL. Let me just say WOW, it did not disappoint. This was a drama shown on a cable channel so it never had a chance at high viewer ratings, however since it wasn't on a main channel it got to push the envelope. Korean censors did push back by censoring the main actors back tattoo and this knives. (Ironically not the guns.)
The story is well written with so many twist and turns that you just never see it coming episode after episode. This is not one of those dramas that drags in the middle and leaves the action to the end. You are left on the edge of your seat every episode. The story is best described as as onion. Layer upon layers. Every actor has a story and everyone matters. It also challenges to like the characters where all the lines are blurred. If you are looking for some cute, clean, romantic comedy, this one would not be for you. This is dark, gritty, and puts the drama in melodrama.
