3k Jan 06 2026 5:33 am Lacks depth. Its categorized as thriller, yet nothing was thrilling about it. Characters are stupid too. Plot goes nowhere. I can see why this isn't as popular, though it could've been better. The actresses are pretty though

Xander Dec 02 2025 5:37 am I'll never understand why this drama was so underrated and overlooked during during run.

Are kdrama fans blind? JCW and BIBI should've won awards for their performance in this.

Such a unique story and excellent performances in general.

amara Nov 20 2025 4:41 am JCW meet Bibi again after the worst of evil !!!!

Nadia Oct 30 2025 9:40 am Drama was okay. It wasn't that bad but it wasn't that good either.

B Aug 15 2025 9:06 am This drama is terrible. Stupid plot and the characters are all idiots. The whole thing does not make any sense.

Crybabyyy Mar 01 2025 5:59 am Good drama.. I love Ji changwook and Jung Garam.

Bit annoying with Kang YeSeo so careless, useless everything getting worse bcoz of her.

King Pup 1722 Jan 07 2025 9:02 am I enjoyed the show, it’s slick and moves at a fast pace. One unrealistic aspect is when the father Jo Woo-Jin decides to wage a one man war in his search for the daughter, taking on dozens of opponents in fight after fight, lol.

The other unrealistic part is when his quiet well behaved daughter turns overnight into a girl who’s willing to prostitute herself out, in order to find out who’s the culprits behind the death of her friend. Come on!!

Luna Jan 06 2025 8:50 am The kid is useless. She only made things worse

Hari Dec 03 2024 10:53 am When is ep 7,8 will be released?

lili Dec 02 2024 11:40 pm They said it is bad to curse, but I curse anyway. I hope that all those drug dealers, drug lords, killers, corrupt politicians, abusive law enforcers, and all people who just think of their greed will have untreatable cancer. They will suffer a lot feeling every dot of their nerves in pain. But why tho' that they are the healthy ones? Good people are dying and these evil people are enjoying life to the fullest with their good health intact?? Even if they are jailed, their health is good. Why??

bibix Nov 28 2024 5:48 pm after all this time there is finally a good k-drama to watch. i hate the current situation, like all good writers hold back their stories until they get offers from netflix or disney+ what is left on tv is only mediocre stories.

Sushi87 Nov 28 2024 3:39 pm Satisfying ending for an over the top drama. Great acting from the female actresses and Ji Chang Wook.

Hae Soo infiltrating Jaehee's world is too much. Her background doesn't justify how she could get by to avenge Jaehee. Actress is promising though, didn'r recognize her in Love your Enemy as the FL young version.

Dollface Nov 28 2024 3:09 pm Is this Ji Chang Wook's first "villain" role?

Uloma Rita Nov 28 2024 4:20 am Half of worst of evil cast were also in this drama

dranier Nov 26 2024 3:58 pm imagine being kang dong woo, the main character, told by his daughter to save her friend, then you put all your effort, mind and physics, you put your 100%, but you couldnt save your daughter friend, then your daughter blames you, lmao

Jenni Nov 25 2024 7:49 pm I love this. This is a suspenseful drama... I've been on hiatus from watching kdramas for more than 2 years, because they're all boring and the new actors and actresses are so soso.. especially those who come from idol or model backgrounds.. I miss the era where the best actors released dramas every year, luckily Ji Chang Wook is one of the productive ones, I'm waiting for the other actors actress too!

Sushi87 Nov 14 2024 11:13 am I thought this was your typical action drama but ep 4 ending was really good! Fast paced and I wonder what's in store for ep 5 to 8. Ji Chang Wook has so many projects and I appreciate his acting range even more.

Anita Mullins Brown Nov 13 2024 9:36 pm I like action, crime, and mystery, but a little disappointed with the profanity and constant smoking. These excessive elements only cheapen what could be a fantastic celebration of righteous justice for those who dream for it. Great cast, writers, and story, but I wish they would lighten up on the excessive and distracting profanity and smoking.

AnxiousPom Nov 11 2024 1:00 pm Episode 1 is not hooking at all. It confuses me, not in the good way. I then watched episode 2 and honestly it's just not hooking me in enough to want to watch the next episodes even though I like all the veteran actors here. :/

Mik Nov 10 2024 5:12 am I didn't recognize Jung Garam here. I was surprised when I searched the cast & found out that he is the antagonist. lol

Mira Nov 06 2024 6:41 pm Excellent ! Cant wait for the next episodes! Stunning action and performance by Mr. Ji Chang Wook !

Ice Nov 06 2024 5:47 pm I can't wait for the next episodes!!!

Cha Seo Bo Nov 06 2024 4:39 pm Whoa, always loved talented Jo Woo-Jin but almost didn't recognize him as he sure gained some weight in the face! Looking forward to some great acting from him!

Tiah Oct 20 2024 1:32 pm Wow! Excited for this Drama, Ji Chang Wook as Yoon Gil Ho and Bibi as Kim jae hee

Wookie Wookie Oct 15 2024 11:35 am Ji Chang Wook & Bibi are back together again,

Gb Oct 03 2024 7:24 am Reunion for both chang wook and woo jin so excited for this drama.

Jack Jun 30 2024 9:48 pm Ha Yoon Kyung as the female lead for the first time... with Ji Chang Wook? This is so exciting!!!!

Sookie Wookie Mar 14 2024 12:43 pm More and more of Wookie!
