I feel as though Duel is one of those dramas which a lot of drama users don’t know about which is a shame because it does deserve a lot more attention.

The series is a pretty original concept for a Korean drama and as an OCN production has a flare of more “ darker” themes.

I’ll be honest in saying that I struggled with the first few episodes. The pacing was a bit off for me and the main detective did get on my nerves a little initially. However when I got over this hurdle of the first two episodes I’m glad that I stuck around as the main lead changed my opinion a lot.

A lot of this was down to the main cast who did a really good job as our leads. The biggest praise does go to the second male lead of the series who had to play two different roles with ease. I’ll be honest in saying that given context I knew it was the same actor it was easy to feel as though I was watching two different people.
