![]() ![]() well everyone knows how Netflix rubbings are. Watch it in original language with subs, because the dubbing is. ![]() Spread the word, recommend it to your friends. Another special mention to the action choreography which is done in a way that feels like a sub-practical fight and not clean martial arts. Special mention to the original soundtrack and background score. The bad guys have motivation that make sense and not just pure evil. Some flashbacks, forgivable cliches and plotholes aside the writing really works. Best thing about this season (and I doubt there will be another) is that there aren't many padding or fillers. Some of the stunts are novel and the lead actress can M O V E. The action is brutal, with sprinkles of gore. It's a well acted, well written and directed thriller that is shaded because Netflix isn't promoting it enough and people are still not over the whole drama over who will watch with subtitles. Sadly this one isn't getting as many views as it deserves. With popularity of Squid Game and Parasite winning an Oscar, I would've thought lot more people would be interested in their content like k-pop and kdrama has huge following. Even some of their bad ones have great action choreography and set pieces. Korean cinema does better action, crime than many industries. These comments are based on watching the series in Korean with English subtitles. Overall I'd definitely recommend this to fans of the genre it is top notch. of course it helps that we are invited to suspect certain members of the police and there is a more unpleasant gangster to treat as a main villain. I liked the fact that the series is morally ambiguous most viewers will be highly sympathetic to Ji-woo even though she is part of a criminal gang even her boss is sympathetic to a degree. She manages to make scenes of a diminutive woman defeating several men believable. The cast does a really fine job especially Han So-hee who excels as Ji-woo. ![]() Our protagonist gets into many scrapes and there is a real sense of danger she certainly isn't immune to injury. The story delivers plenty of impressive, sometimes bone-crunching, action as well as twists and turns to keep the viewer guessing as to the identity of the killer. perhaps this is because key plot elements reminded me of the Hong Kong 'Infernal Affairs' trilogy. The plot and general feel were more movie like than televisual. I really enjoyed this South Korean series. This gets her closer to the suspected killer it also puts her in the investigation into Choi Moo-jin's activities and face to face with somebody who might expose her true identity. As the years progress she advances and ultimately gets assigned to the drug squad. He gives her a clue to the identity of the killer a discarded police issue pistol. Choi Moo-jin has her declared dead then, under a new name, she enters the police as a spy. He takes her in and she trains in martial arts in the gang's training school here she does well but makes an enemy of a fellow student. Determined to find and kill the man responsible she approaches the only person who might help her father's associate, crime boss Choi Moo-jin. On her birthday he returns home but is gunned down in front of her by an unidentifiably assassin. As this series opens school girl Yoon Ji-woo is hassled by the police and bullied by schoolmates because her estranged father is working in a major drug dealing operation.
