Review

At first, this series may seem slow but I am very glad that I stayed throughout. I know I would have mentioned this a million times but I love when the director or writer makes you doubt the main characters and that was exactly what happened here. I loved the slow development of the friendship between Dong-Sik and Joo-won and I loved the kindness and love Dong-Sik portrayed to everyone, how he both believed the best in everyone but still had to be suspicious of them.

Spoiler Review

Thriller Korean dramas always bring out issues I have never thought of before and I know this may sound stupid but growing up I was conditioned to believe that the disabled would always be good people. But physical disabilities do not determine character, a person who is blind can still be a murderer or an elderly person can be Psychopath.

 

I really loved how this drama had me reflecting on my perception of people due to their situations. Sometimes your conditions do not excuse the actions you have done.
