doram Aug 17 2021 2:13 am Okay so my first impression of this movie was: wow 2 hour and 20 minutes, gonna be a long movie... But after I watch it, it didn't feel that long. The pacing is great, the story flows naturally. It is beyond my expectation. I thought there will be some boring scenes with full dialogue and too much drama but it's not.

By reading the synopsis, I expect a suspense/ thriller movie with some action scenes. Turns out this movie is nothing near like that. Idk what to say about its genre, but this has satisfying amount of drama (not too much) and the emotions portrayed by each of the characters are on point. The story is about a delicate topic of society and government in general.

My rating is 9/10, I highly recommend this movie to everyone. Though at first you might feel confused because of the too many names are mentioned in the movie, but just let it flow and don't think too much, everything will make sense in the end :D Nobuhiro Doi also directed some of my favorite dramas/movies so it's a plus :)
