Late Notice: I Finished "Victim's Game"

So I did miss a post and I did finish the Taiwanese R-18 series Victim's Game. Not for the squeamish? Yes as the case is really so full of criminal scenarios. I have to admit that the series does have some issues with discrimination and victim playing hence the title.

There's the conflict between aspie Fang Yi Jen and the badass reporter Hsu Hai Yin. There's always this case of getting into the root of mysterious crimes that happened. The situation is in a fictitious city called Ping Lin which doesn't exist in Taiwan. Everything starts with a faked death to some arson cases. Eventually, certain dark secrets do get unveiled. Yi Jen also has to deal with his estranged daughter along the way. In some of the flashbacks -- it's also revealed Yi Jen hasn't been that good of a father. 

It does send chills when you realize that a suicidal cult is also on the move. Some people play the victim one way or another. Then you've got people "put out of their misery" in the process by a lethal nurse. The whole uncovering of one mystery after the other becomes a really good nightmare fuel
