Netflix has a brand new series. Though this was rather short by half of the usual 16 episodes - we only have eight episodes like the Korean series Argon. This is NOT a series for those who are faint of heart. There will be some gore and blood since this is a crime drama. This happens to have the same director as Lawless Lawyer and Pride and Prejudice namely Kim Jin Min.
Though, unlike the other two series, this has more blood and some steamy scenes with a hot woman in Han So See. I really like commenting how So Hee looks quite like Fumika Baba - the woman who played Medic Roidmude in Kamen Rider Drive. Her role here is Yoon Ji Woo (also known as Oh Hye Jin) who is on the quest to murder her father. Ji Woo enters into a sleazy deal with Choi Mu Jin (acted by Park Hee Soon) who is the biggest drug lord in South Korea. This results in a difficult ordeal as So Hee seeks to do the right thing but is too blinded by revenge.
It's really impossible to talk much about this one without spoilers. One thing to enjoy would be the mysteries surrounding Ji Woo's late father. It would also be interesting to think that she somewhat develops a romance with Jeon Pil Do (played by Ahn Bo Hyun who was the a**hole in Itaewon Class) who initially disliked her. A lot of stuff happen such as conspiracies that ultimately led to the whole mess. The series really does take too many spoilers. It's best not to explain it here as much as possible.
IMHO, I think 16 or 20 episodes could've helped develop some areas. I felt that Ji Woo's past needed to be expanded upon. I also think that Pil Do's past needs to be expanded upon. Eight episodes made the whole thing quite rushed for an interesting series. Was this just meant to be a mini-series because of a huge budget? If so, I guess the producers of Netflix wanted to play it safe over such an obvious huge budget then!
