A little bit of everything and nothing

If you want to assess this as a undercover cop drama, it doesn’t pass as a high quality one.

If you want to assess this as a romance drama, forget it.

If you want to assess this as a bromance, well, there is some.

I have mixed feelings about this show. It was watchable and fast paced, as you continue to see how each plot point unravels with the male lead’s hard work as the undercover who worked his way up and taking down each of the drug cartel’s leaders. I didn’t fast forward, which indicates there is quite a bit going on in the story.

However, as you keep watching, you wonder how is it possible the cartel was taken down so easily by some undercover cops. Which makes the story too unbelievable. And you will need to suspend any notion that these cartel leaders have half a brain.

Additionally, the characters are too one dimensional. Everyone only cares about their job, there is little to no scene about the motivations and inner thoughts for any of the leads nor the supporting cast, beyond what is needed to move the plot forward.

There is little to no romance. If there were more romantic scenes between the two leads to show how the male lead changed in his feelings for the female lead before he found out her identity (ie falling in love all over again) it would have been a much better show.

The brotherhood between the undercover cop and his friend in the cartel was good to watch, except to be reminded that this brotherhood was built on 3 years of lies.

The music is also also average/ subpar. I was disappointed in the ending.

This is a very plot driven drama with zero character development. If you are into that, then watch this drama.
