Real drama of 90s - Chang Wook amazing transformation

I think it is the most realistic drama I had seen. The production is great and the atmosphere of the 90s is so real. I love both ML leads. They have done great job.

I love the development of Seung Ho and his fenomenal transformation from cop to thug as he really became one. And build thrue friendship with Ki Chul. Also Hae Ryeon character was great and she was the main character to comparation to Eui Jung as her character/acting did not left any expression on me.

Despite it has sad ending, I have to say it is great ending. Everyone gets what they deserve. Specially the fat cop as he was the most enoying character ever. I felt quite bad for Chul as he put his trust to wrong people and because of that he lost everything and everyone betrayed him. I could see the pain in his eyes as he confronts them and he had nothing to live for anymore.

I wish they could walk together through the streets of Gangnam forever. That last seen made me quite emotional.

Great drama for the first half after that it is disappointing.

It could have been so good if they carry on with the story as in the first half of the drama. The first 6 epidosed are great. It keeps you engaged and you don't know what is gonna happen next between the taxi driver and the culprit.
But once the culprit went to China the storyline went downhill. I wish they would finish the drama around 6/7 episodes. It is a real shame as they did not use all the potential and it could be a great drama. The story keeps you engaged through the whole drama but I was loosing interest towards the end. I will not even talk about the imcopentece of the detectives...The villan character was perfect as probably the olny character in the drama. To my surprise a didn't even care how it is gonna end.

Overall it is a good drama but could have been great if the focused more on the storyline.

Disappointed

Really disappointed. The drama was good till the ep 12 then storyline started going downhill. I loved the bromance.

Yo Han character was great, his whole show was planned really well. On the other hand Ga On was soo annoying. He was so blinded/stupid that he couldn’t see that justice does not exist for people that do not have money or power. You would thing he learned his lesson but no…he stayed naive till the end and almost ruined everything.

The detected character was really useless….could not solve anything and the only thinkg she cared about was Ga On for who she just left everything and run to him if she known he is in a danger. And she was really obsessed to make Yo Han the villan.
They could write the story better. Its shame as I was hooked at the beginning of the show.

Good drama - was expecting much more

To be honest I was expecting much more from this drama after I read so many great reviews. The first half was great but the second half started dragging the story and it wasn’t so interesting and I had to push myself to finish it. It is real shame as the story was great but not executed very well. After finishing the last episode I didn’t feel any joy or sadness as it haven’t leave any impact on me as other great drama did.

The acting of the main lead Ha Kyun was great he’s really good actor. He has done outstanding performance.

You cannot compare this drama to a masterpiece Mouse or Flowers of evil.

The acting is fenomenal but not fully developed drama.

I was so looking towards the Tyrant as Seon Ho is one of my favorite actors. I think it would be better if they stick to the plan and made a movie as it is too sort for a drama and it did not fully developed the storyline. To be honest if they made a proper long drama it would be amazing as it has interesting storyline and the cast is on fire.

The acting is just fenomenal!

It is shame that they did not take a time and properly edited the screens as it could be great movie.

Also I don't really see the point to add English to the drama.
For me it is waisted potential.

average bl drama that could have been great if executed differently

The drama started with a unique and well-executed storyline but became confusing in the second half. To be honest, I had no idea what was going on—which storyline was the real one? What was happening? In the end, it all made sense, but it was kind of disappointing. Also, they could have done a better job of editing the scenes. It is a real shame as the drama started really strong.

On the other hand, the acting was superb, especially the second leads, Korn and Tonkla, who stole the show. The intimate scenes were ?

Overall, it was an average BL drama that could have been great if executed differently.

It is mind-blowing drama with a well-written script

My mind was left stunned as I watched the intense power struggle between Dong Ho and Soo Ji. It was incredible. When you think that there is no way Dong Ho will get through it, he finds another way.
I could not stop watching as I was drawn to the story from the first episode.

The acting is superb, and the main leads did a great job. The drama is fast-paced, so you do not get bored even though it is about politics. It is a written masterpiece that will captivate you with its unexpected twists and turns.
The ending emphasizes the limitations of relying solely on truth in achieving victory.

After watching it, you realize...oh no, it is not fiction; this is the real world we live in, as corruption is everywhere, and justice is just a word because if you have money,
you have power, and if you have power, you are untouchable.

I am not even surprised that the rating is so low, as most non-rocom or non-famous handsome actors have ratings below or slightly above 8.

Too slow-paced but great concept.

It was too hard for me to watch as it was very slow-paced, especially the first half of the drama. The second half was slightly better. I did not find it very violent as I read in a comment. To be honest, I have seen worse. The violence is on a normal level.

I love the message behind the drama as it effectively portrays the harsh reality where the wealthy can exploit the lower class without repercussions. The lower class will always suffer, and some will do anything to get money. Long live capitalism!

The acting is great, and number 8 was a nice surprise.

The ending was not that satisfying, but I guess the end is very realistic.

Although the storyline has great potential, comparable to "Squid Games," the execution falls short, hindering its overall impact.

You can feel the pain through her eyes.

The movie portrays the cruelty of bullying and its impact on the victims.
After watching the movie, you wonder why or how the kids can be so cruel, how it is possible it is still happening nowdays.

The acting is just incredible, and you can feel the pain through the main female's eyes. I love the relationship she has with ML and how he is always there to protect her.

I am happy to see they got a happy ending after everything they've been through, although it may not reflect real-life scenarios. It gives you a sense of hope.

This movie will leave a lasting impression on you.

Frustrating but good intake on jurisdiction system - Let's vote!

The beginning was really hard for me to watch, especially the main FL and her sister, who were so annoying. The same goes for the ML, as he always tried to catch the culprit he needed to bring to justice by law, but he knew very well the legal system was broken as he had fabricated evidence so many times. I found the way the teenagers were involved in the case absurd as well. Also, the drama did not catch my attention. I was about to drop the drama, but luckily it got better after four or five episodes, and I got hooked.

I liked the storyline concept of getting justice as there are so many loopholes within the law. The drama got better with each episode, and it was interesting to see who else was involved in vote-killing.

The ending leaves it open for a new season if there ever will be one.

Overall, the drama effectively portrays the idea of taking justice into one's own hands when the system fails and highlights the influence of money and power in manipulating the justice system.
