Now Watching: Victims' Game

Watching two of OCN's criminal drama masterpieces Kill It and Justice has my mind interested in legal dramas. I decided to watch the Netflix series Victim's Game which is a Taiwanese production. Yup, it's rated R-18 due to the violence and blood that it has. The plot has Joseph Chang act as a forensic scientist (named Fang Yi Jen) with an estranged daughter. Tiffany Hsu plays as a tough as nails journalist named Hsu Hai-Yin who gets tangled in the case.

My first impressions are that the show is where the viewer's discretion is heavily advised. The dangerous setting of the series has a series of murders and mistaken identities. Just the first episode will tell you that you've got to prepare for the worst. There's the scene of a rotting corpse mistaken to be an aging singer and another arson case. Just the whole mystery behind a man and his estranged daughter while a tough-as-nails journalist gets in is something!

Just a warning - if you're squeamish then don't watch it. But the content doesn't seem as brutal as I expected. So far, I still shy away from watching the movie Killers due to the heavy focus on Nomura's torture scenes. In this case, I don't think I would shy away from this one soon.  It's pretty much nearly like a real crime documentary. Who knows, it might be inspired by a real incident just like how many folk legends are born out of real persons.
