falls somewhere in the middle

Not terrible, but it could have been better. There's some issues with pacing and the scripting definitely needed some work. Never tell a criminal who has taken a hostage to "calm down." Do things to help them calm down without realizing it, but don't command them to "calm down." I was annoyed by the amount of times our leads just blatantly told people wielding knives or guns to "calm down." It was weird and is not how a hostage negotiation would go in real life. You also don't tell victims to calm down, either. Why would you do that? Yes, they're freaking out, but telling someone to calm down isn't going to help.

Andrew Gregson as Aran was definitely this drama's strength. I'd never seen him before, and apart from having a striking resemblance to Alex O'Loughlin, he was really excellent. He has a great emotional range that seriously impressed me, and he's the only real reason why I kept watching. I like dramas that deal with someone who has lost a loved one due to their own mistakes. So watching him go on a revenge kick and then come to terms with it was important. His character was absolutely the high point.

HOWEVER, the writers did a serious disservice to their female lead, Captain Irin. I have no idea what they thought they were doing, but nobody is going to believe she is the top in her field. It's just not going to happen, and I put that solely on the shoulders of the writers. Yes, some episodes and dialogue for her are better than others. But that character makes a lot of critical thinking errors that are not ok for that type of role. Such a shame because Pancake did a great job. She just had so little to work with. The writers, yeah, it's on their shoulders that their script for her primarily sucked.

The series was a little gruesome, more than I like now, at my current age in life. So that was unfortunate. But I didn't hate it, I just didn't love it. I did like that it had no romance. You just sit down and watch a suspense Lakorn and don't have to worry about getting side-tracked by lovey-dovey looks. So that was great. I will track down more of Andrew Gregson's roles since I really ended up liking him a lot.
