Is it worth it
A political crime drama that asks you to wait seven episodes for the hook and then delivers genuinely improving back-half drama, only to pull the rug in the last hour. Park Hyung Sik deserved better, and so did everyone who watched. The production is slick, the corruption mechanics are interesting, and the ending makes all of it feel pointless.
Seo Dong-ju, who hacked a political slush fund worth two trillion won, risks it all for revenge.
The feel of it
PaceSteady
RomancePresent
Emotional loadHeavy
Comfort rewatchNo
Slow start Episode 7, and it genuinely improves from there: the ratings climb through the back half and the last two hours are the best of the run.
