"Because you need conviction in order to kill someone"

South Korean cinema is particularly good at having amazing revenge thriller drama. Two of most prolific examples are I Saw the Devil and Oldboy. Because of this, I wanted to see if this revenge thriller show on Netflix could bring any thing new to the plate.

The first three episodes were a bit slow that set up the mystery and the quest from our young female lead who followed a gang to find her dad's killer.

Then middle three episodes of this show were the best part because this was the chase between the police and the drug lord, and our lead was in the middle of this whole shenanigan. It's interesting because in the middle of the thriller was the mystery that kept building up. You suspected a person to be the killer but you are not 100% sure, and you also suspect this person could also be one.

Sadly, after the twist, the last two episodes slowed down and became predictable. There's a romance that I knew was going to happen way back, but it felt rushed and I already knew what was going to happen next. Because of this, I was pretty bored and disappointed with the ending.

Overall, even though the ending didn't land well, it was still a good thriller. 7/10.
