Beautiful love story during Gwangju uprising

The acting is great and Do Hyun never disappoints.

Is is a love story set during Gwangju uprising. The main couple had to go through some many obstacles to get their happy ending which last probably one minute but it is such a beautiful story. The last episode is very emotional and you will cry. I was hoping for a happy ending but I guess the ending made it more realistic about what really happened in Gwangju.

It is very well written and also it states all the facts about cruelty of the military and that thousands of innocent people lost their lives.

I really love this drama. You need to watch it!

It did not wow me!

The storyline was very interesting, and it was engaging to see how the events would unfold and whether justice could be served. The beginning of the drama was good, but it became slow and a bit draggy in the middle.

Honestly, the judge was incredibly annoying. He practically begged the gangster to spare his life multiple times, promising to do anything, yet he repeatedly stabbed the gangster in the back without considering the consequences, all to save his reputation. I despised his character. Moreover, the entire situation arose because of his son, who disregarded the consequences of his actions and their impact on others.

The ending was very fitting, as a punishment that causes immense suffering is preferable to justice.

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.

What would you do in extreme circumstances?!

This captivating thriller boasts stunning cinematography and vibrant colors. The first few episodes are a bit slow and confusing, but after that, everything becomes clear, and you will be hooked.

The first storyline reveals the profound impact of bullying on victims and the consequences for bystanders' inaction, who often suffer the most. The second storyline explores how people choose to look the other way to protect themselves without considering the consequences and are consumed by guilt. But what would you do in extreme circumstances? I really like the message in this drama. Also, I like the two timelines that intertwine with each other as both males end up in similar situations because of their actions.

The acting is amazing, and Min Si slayed the role! I found the ending very satisfying. I am glad they did not end it as a cliffhanger, as they like to do these days.

easy-going 60s era crime drama

I love the vibes of the 60s era. I have to say they did a great job. I like that each episode represents different case and I love the way they solved the cases. I like that it is inspired by Korean history and how difficult it actually was to catch bad guys.

I am amazed by the first half of the drama as it has really funny moments and the dream team was build. To be honest for the the second half was loosing its charm. Also it is upsetting to see that no one cares about normal people except the unit 1 and the corruption is on different level. I guess nowadays it is the same but they cover it much better.

The drama is easy to follow as the cases are not that difficult to follow so it does not need your full attention.

You will love the journey with uncle Samsik!

It is very easy to watch and follow the events even if you are not familier with the Korean history. It is story how the politics really works to gain money and power.
The acting is great and I love the relationship that uncle Samsik had with San. Samsik is real genius who's always come up with the plan and it is fun to watch as he is always ahead of everyone. I was so surprised that in the end he is betrayed and oversmarten by someone you would not expect at all. Till the last minute I was hoping he has other plan to get out of the situation. The ending was very emotional. I guess it ended as it should as in the end the money and power always win. It would be great to see Kim San to take a revenge....

To be honest I don't understand why the rating is so low and the drama is not very well known.

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.

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.

Great drama—that is the way to beat corruption

The drama has a great storyline, and I like how they introduce new cases every two episodes, and it all leads to the closure of the main plot. It is nice to see how the team comes together and works to beat the corruption. I love the way Ha Kyun portrays his character; it is perfect.

I love the interaction between Sin Cha and Dae Ugn, and I wish we could see more of it.
It was fun to watch, and I was hooked from the first episode.

The acting was great, especially Ha Kyun, as he carried the show.

The drama reminds me a little bit of Hot Stove League, which I absolutely love.

Let's hope for another season.

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.
