Keep on Swimming

I adore this series so far. The fact that the main character does not feel emotions is such a benefit to the series, especially since it's being done so well. He's emotionless, but there are distinct signs of life, which is very different from most of the characters that fall into the same category as him. Even more interesting is how his mind interacts with crimes. Rather than imagining some faceless, nameless figure as the murderer, he envisions himself as the killer to better understand how a crime was committed. The sequence of him imagining stabbing Mr. Park to death was very surprising to me, and I love to be surprised. I still love Han Yeo Jin. She's interesting, charming, and the writers did not imbue her with stereotypical behaviors. I quite like her chemistry with Shi Mok, and I'm excited to see what the series will do with that chemistry. I certainly don't expect romance, but even a steady alliance would be satisfying. Seo Dong Jae is a good character. He's just enough of everything: condescending, arrogant, and snake-y. I love it. Still not digging the main villain, though. His character was advanced a little bit with this episode, but I can't imagine he'll top my list of favorite villains by any means. Overall, I'm feeling very positive about the series and I am very excited to watch more.
