The story for this drama had a lot of potential to be a very good show. However I feel that the majority of the show fell short of that. The first few episodes are just okay, it does get better towards the middle of the show and start to show more of it's potential for being good, but it isn't until around episode 12 that it really drew me in. The whole story surrounds the abyss (a magical orb that has the power to bring people back from the dead) yet the abyss is only partly talked about and is mainly left out of the story. I know they were focusing on the rest of the actual story, but it would have been nice to give more of a background or story to this key object in the story line. I mean after all the show is named Abyss. Despite this though, the show is good, the crime, romance, and drama throughout is fun to watch and has a decent story. Episodes 12 - 16 are the best part of it.
