Review:
The series has a good plotline and my favorite actors - Ji Sub, Uhm Ki Joon, and Kwon Hae Hyo.
Seeing the conspiracy and finding out the mastermind is quiet interesting. Especially when you sit at home, and see the series on screen. Well I like detective and action series so it was a great drama for me. I was practically glued to the screen the whole series. But after watching a few Korean action dramas I see the pattern to make me interested.
Friendship of two guys and their interaction is fascinating and made me wonder - they could be a couple in love so easily! There is no need for the typical romance…as Hades always cared for his friend even after their intense meeting in the factory. He believed in him till the end - isn’t it sweet? But it is too optimistic especially after the brutal murder of the actress…
All the time when emotions were involved I saw the repeating scenes of the victims e.t.c….that was really annoying…
I understand the point, we already saw the murder scene a few times and still we see it again…it reminded me the principles of making news - when there is a real news we see it but after that , it’s over…no one wants to see the same thing all over again, that’s why the media doesn’t show it anymore, or in certain cases different scenes of the same incident are shown.
Finally there was no romance between the leads! In Japanese dramas there is amazing chemistry between the team members and no romance and it seems more professional that way, while in Korean action dramas there is always romance , for once it was different.
I liked the scheme of the series. The good cop becomes “bad” - Kim Woo Hyun, while the famous hacker, Hades who was a criminal becomes the good cop and proves the crimes.
