Amazing Start, Rushed Ending

With an all star cast, I expected to like this going into it. The premise also got me intrigued with boxers having to become bloodhounds, and I totally enjoyed it! (for the most part) The first 6 episodes to me were perfect, it had the right amount of tension and character moments. The action is AMAZING. The COVID setting is kind of weirdly placed into the story, only coming up once in a while to explain random beats to the story (which could have just been written out in my opinion). What I didn't enjoy so much was the last two episodes. It wasn't bad per-say, but it definitely did not live up to the tension that has built up during the whole series. The pay-off was lackluster, and felt both rushed and dragged out. Rushed because it did not perfectly conclude the series and dragged out because it was sort of slow compared to the beginning of the series. Now, I do know that the main female lead got into controversy and so it may have effected the story (maybe it was towards the end of filming but this is just a guess) which is why the ending felt not complete. Overall, i would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves the action/revenge plot dramas but just prepare yourself for a not-so-fullfilling ending.

On a side note, be wary because this drama has A LOT of blood, There are so many knife fights (especially in episode 6) and it shows the whole stabbing , cutting and blood gushing in full frame.
