Tbh I would’ve rated it a bit higher but idk the ending got a bit overdoneActing: 100/10
Process: 6/10
Makjang: 8/10
Past stuff: 2/10
The drama was good, the first two eps and then 10-14 were really great
But that middle 7eps were ;/ and that’s what stopped me from rating it higher
The side murders, the side drug stuff, the long chase of whodunit for them to so easily confess like a chitchat ruined the mood
The ending with the dad being the mastermind was ;/
Like all those adult dudes did such a mess, just for the dad to come in and say he was the one cuz those “kids” were ruining his plans
I was glad and worried they’d say insurance guy was the real killer :D
And it’s so sad, dr, his 3 good friends, and the villains who used him, he was a tool that was punch around and left alone, even by his wife
So it kinda didn’t make sense for me, too makjang….
Sure jisung didn’t wanna hear him out, but he was only kicked out of school, again growing pains, but that dude, became a drug dealer to heal his daughter, after rich villain ruining his kids insurance, then inferiority complex dude goes and make him a drug dealer and his “closest friend who was jealous of this dude choosing 3 other friends and not included him”, makes those drugs and blames the 3 for not being around
Like why didn’t insurance guy help more? He didn’t have a problem making a life insurance that benefits others, but couldn’t help the daughter?
And the dude couldn’t reach out, not to apologize but to say how hard his life was? That’s sad….
And the password… that was cruel.. T_T but for them to be happy over the money was also sad… like that’s the money that the dude sold his soul for, couldn’t get the second half of the password, which was his wife’s bday, and the second being his friendship day with those 3 that abandoned him T_T
He really just wanted to heal his kid, like T_T

BOM DRAMA, MAS COM FALHA DE CONTINUIDADE…
Nota: O profissional de continuidade, também conhecido como supervisor de script, tem a função de garantir que os detalhes visuais e narrativos permaneçam consistentes ao longo das filmagens de um drama ou filme.O drama teve uma boa escalação de elenco e um bom dinamismo em seus quatorze episódios. Temos que elogiar a escalação do elenco adolescente, que tem fisionomias muito parecidas com seus correspondentes adultos. A morte do garoto espancado e queimado foi o “efeito borboleta” de todos os envolvidos, direta e indiretamente.
Sobre a falha de continuidade mencionada no título da resenha: em um dos últimos episódios, o presidente confronta Tae Jin e diz que sabia que ele traficava drogas. Tae Jin ficou em choque ao saber que o presidente estava ciente. Contudo, nas cenas finais do episódio final, fica evidente que o presidente sabia que o promotor era um traficante e o promotor sabia que o presidente sabia há muito tempo antes, tanto que confabularam para matar Jun Seo.
Outra coisa que me deixou perplexo foi eles comemorarem a descoberta da senha verdadeira e do dinheiro que ganharam, mas o dinheiro em questão não era proveniente do tráfico de drogas que Tae Jin e Jun Seo iniciaram?
Enfim, não vou detalhar mais. Bom drama e seguimos para o próximo.

Masterpiece
Connection is the story of Jae Kyung. He is an ace detective who is hell-bent on his job and does not allow even the slightest emotion to come between his work. The wall of his room has been burdened with his past which is a clue to the secret the man has been carrying within him. His strong conviction takes a pitfall when his twenty-year connections with friends and foes question him about his own choices.Being a huge fan of Ji Sung, this story has been my must-watch ever since its announcement. He brings nuances into his psychologically strained character making them intriguing. As the story keeps on going past while tackling issues of the present, suspense builds around what happened twenty years ago. Helmed by the man behind "Lovers of the Red Sky", a connection has severe darkness etched throughout. The character Yoon Jin portrayed by Mi Do is another mystery to be read along. Her Yoon Jin also bears a big baggage like Jae Kyung. The upright and assertive she is gets clouded by an unfair dismissal.
The task of a writer involves giving space and breakages to every character which builds a story. The way past and present clashes help in intensifying the connection between leads throughout. The use of black and white color outfits works as the element to exhibit what those cloth wearers are feeling inside. There is no color left in their lives. The drinking scene at the beginning where Jae Kyung mostly stays silent and only pours a drink to everyone describes his social ineptness.
The biggest element of a crime thriller is to maintain the pace. Director Moon Kyo did a terrific job of keeping the motion strong while bringing unprecedented twists with each scene. The gap between the present and past is what this connection is about.

100% action and intrigue
finished 9.5/10 ✨?a story that I really wanted to see... honorable mention to the performance of ji sung, a great actor with an enormous career who deserves all the credit ?
The rest of the cast also did an incredible job.
14 chapters that summarized the story well, in the end living up to its name, connection... everything in the end was connected
There was only one small detail that I didn't like in the ending and I would have liked more development but overall a great job ✨

Best thriller airing right now
Omg I was just holding my breath till the end of the second episode. what a fast paced series.. with lots of suspense and everytime leave us in a cliffhanger. Not to mention the acting, we all know the leads and their extraordinary performance. Ji sung my fav..From the 1st two episodes, we can see friendship, revenge, love, death, investigation, fight and everything. This is a complete pack.
The plot also seems new to me. A detective from the narcotics team (jang jae- he is the main lead) who, after being forcibly addicted to drugs by some illegal drug dealers, finds unexpected turns in his life. And at the same time, his old friend commits suicide which he believes as a murder. The main plot twist is that, his dead friend left 5 million dollar worth insurance money to both our main leads jung jae and oh yun ( btw they were not so close to give them 5 million dollars lol). it's suspicious. Now our officer has many things to unfold, like.. the drug dealer, the murderer, and also the reason for his friend to take a life insurance worth 5 million dollars, all while hiding his addiction from everyone. The answer to the questions is all connected.
It's interesting to me atleast. But I can guarantee you.. you will all wonder what will happen next.. for sure
So go and watch this masterpiece

Who is the Doctor?
This is a good crime drama with a well-written plot and characters. The overlap between characters flows nicely, so it does not feel forced. The pacing is also smooth and well-controlled, preventing the series from feeling slow or boring as the audience learns new things and sees developments in each episode. To me, this is an A series; I give it a 9.I assume I'm not dropping spoilers since what I'm writing here is my guess, as this crime drama plays with a detective theme. To answer my headline question, I'm guessing the 'real' or the 'first' doctor is already dead. Now, who is playing the 'Doctor'? (whom I call the new Doctor). The new Doctor seems to care more about money above all, rather than maintaining control and power. It could be the prosecutor, the widow, the loyal secretary, or the narcotics chief.
While from enemy to friend story is cute and heartwarming, friend turning into an enemy is devastating. In this crime drama, I particularly enjoy the exploration of a friend becoming an enemy, as in this story, they were classmates in high school.
Lastly, Jae Kyung seems to be one step behind. Although it's a bit blurry, someone appears to be reading his moves. Let's see if the writer or director isn't too shy to push this narrative. I believe someone in the Narcotics Team is involved, my bet is on the lady boss. If it's not her, then the head of the Anhyeon Police Station might have something to do with it.
Final note: I understand that it takes a really smart writer to pull off a crime detective story where the culprit is someone close and well-known to everyone. It requires well-crafted settings to cover the tracks without flaws. Otherwise, it will result in plot holes. It would be safer if the writer used a side character, who the main lead is not very close to, as the main culprit.
So, let's see!!!

I always watch Jisung dramas
As always, Jisung killed it. His dramas are mostly awesome, this one is too. Since I work night shift, I usually watch the episode on Sunday. I'll be watching it soon. It's a great series and everyone did a great job at acting. I usually wait for drama to finish then I do the marathon but when it comes to Jisung dramas, I always start watching it when the episode gets updated. Can't wait for next episode to get updated.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
All the lead actors and actresses have very good performances, especially Ji Sung's acting is outstanding! Enjoy every moment of his performance. Can't wait for the next episode!

You need to have an excellent memory for this
Dont really understand the need to get ji sung's character hooked on drugs. Imo it didnt really add much to the plot. Otherwise everything was top notch especially the nostalgia created at times particularly at the end. A lot of good friendship days missed because of one bad decision 20 years ago. Its a great one time watch, never becomes dull and boring, all the actors fit perfectly into their respective roles. I will be looking forward to more from this director and writer. And ji sung is the best actor in South Korea.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
It is perfect from the beginning till the end!
Finally a great new thiller drama. It is fast pace and not a single episode is boring. I got hooked from the beginning and the suspense was killing me. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. You will never guess what is gonna happen next and who is the culprit. Also you will always get a little bit closer to the true with each episode.The story and the production is great. It is very well written and the acting is great.
I love the ending. The justice was served and they got back their "connection"!

The plot is so well executed and this is a type of drama where you have to pay attention to understand it! The plot is intelligent!The building the suspense part was my favorite! It's not your usual fast-paced drama. So please give it some time to grow on you. The climax could be made a bit better!! But overall the drama was very good!
The acting of every person was too good! Park Tae Jin's acting was extraordinary!!
