1. Feels like an extended movie. Story is nothing new but it was an intense 6 episodes of anticipation and thrill. Lots of double crossing, guns, gore, and drugs.
2. Love the stellar cast and Ha Jung Woo, Hwang Jung Min and Jo Woo Jin were the stand outs.
3. Love that Ingu as the ML is very smart and capable, quick thinker, calm even when lying, and plays well with the big guys, even outsmarting both drug lords and NIS. There's this doubt if he is really working with NIS or if he has his own agenda. That final fight scene with the pastor was a long time coming and felt satisfied seeing him punch and strangle the pastor after ruining his life. (And HJW looked so hot holding the gun lol)
2. Pastor was magnetic but he didnt seem as smart as I expected him to be. He was easily played or maybe he trusted Ingu too much and thought they could really be partners.
3. Byun was bad ass and that fight with the bodyguard was fantastic. Poor David and Chen Zhen.
4. There's a lot of conversations so some found the episodes boring but i loved them (or maybe I was so mesmerized with HJW everytime he's onscreen)
Dislikes
1. I wonder what happened to the girl and the rest of the cult.
2. I thought the ending would be Ingu taking over the coca farm - that would be fun for a season 2, but still okay since they neatly closed the drama with a happy ending. Ingu learned to treasure what he has and not get too greedy. And after everything he did, NIS didnt pay him cash like they promised.
Rating: 8.5/10
