One Lead Focused Drama
Story: The story is good. It kept progressing with each episodes. If you have first few episodes then you will know that this drama is focused of ML. The story is not that unique but the execution is done really well. The main focus of this drama is thrill and mystery and romance is really not there.Characters: DWJ- The Main Lead of this drama. He is cunning, smart, intelligent person who doesn't ehow his emotion. The whole drama revolves around him.
Jamie- She is an intelligent officer from America. For first half of the drama she did useful things then after that she just roam around all the time.
GW- A good police officer who want to do righy things and also has a crush on thr ML.
Acting: NGM is an exellent actor. He did an amazing job as for Seolhyun she was not that bad but there could have been a better choice for that role. As for the actor who plays Jamie, she is awesome. Loved her dynamic with NGM. Whenever these thw are together it was always fun to watch. The supporting actors also did an amazing job.
Overall: This was a good drama. As for a thrill - mystery this was pretty good. It has some flaws but you can just ignore them and enjoy. Every episode will make you feel like what is going to happen next. The ending was one of thr most satisfying happy ending whete the lead doesn't die. This is a one time watch drama. You will definitely enjoy of you like mystery and thrill.

A NGM one man show ?
Well. Let's agree that all the ingredients were here to make an amazing show. Potential romance, mystery, great cast overall, very Interesting and sad story, superpowers etc...But delicious ingredients mixed up don't make a dish necessarily great.I must admit, I was clearly hyped. This drama could have been the best show of this year but can't help to feel disappointed. I think it was very ambitious to begin with and if there is no season 2, it would have been a waste of a 10/10 show.
Negative things
- Some people can find the plot lacking.
- many interesting characters and actors deserved more spotlight or to be more useful.
-The show is too NGM dependant. If not his cool vibe of a smart officer and attitude, the show would not be interesting.
- The 2nd part of the drama was dragging. The vilain was not strong enough to be entertaining unlike the first one.
-Could have been a kind of Korean "X-Men" with this ambition but took the easy route.
Positive things
-The show was entertaining enough to be worth watching and easy to watch
- NGM and the scientific lady (of wnv) charisma
-The cast overall is quite good
-The story and music are very good.
- The end was satisfying
- No kissing scene or stuff like that but you can use your own imagination and guess that they might be one, either in a season 2 or in your dreams ;).
-The hope of a season 2 is there.
Watch it without hesitating but don't hold too much on the hype.

one of my favourites
Intense, thrilling, emotional.I was searching through dramas and luckily found this gem, I was mainly drawn in by the cast I am a big fan of Namkoong Min, I have watched most of the dramas he is in.
I love drama, crime, serial killer dramas.
Most episodes filled with suspense, others a little dark and mysterious, twists in the story keeping me on the edge of my seat.
Some parts with a bit of comedy or light atmosphere, just to be thrown back into the dark and eerie atmosphere.
I can't stop rewatching it. The acting is perfect, the music fitting in so perfectly with scenes, emotional and suspenseful.
I'm quite simple, so this drama was perfect for me.

First of all, I really enjoyed watching this drama, particularly because the plot was amazing and really easy to follow even though it was surrounded by a lot (and I mean A LOT!!!) of mystery which makes it really easy for the viewers to get hooked on the story, especially if you're a thriller kinda person (If thrillers aren't your thing, this might not be for you). When it comes to the casting, the cast was all of great quality but I do have to give special props to Min Nam-Goong who I've been a massive fan of for years now and I really did enjoy the way he was able to portray his character perfectly.
With this, I do have to point out that I wasn't expecting to get hooked on this drama at the beginning because the first few episodes were a little slow-paced for my taste and I was feeling it would be a boring show, but I kept watching it, and it got way more interesting and believe me, it's real easy to get hooked on it. Aside from this, I'd also like to tell you that this show is not like any other crime-related K-drama. Usually, you know who's the good guy and who's the bad guy. Here, everything is so mixed up that you don't really realize who's the good guy and who's not.

NamGoong Min!!!!!
What can I say? This was really a masterpiece. I'm just not convince on how they end the story. It will be better if they end it like everybody should have been back into proper places and live a happy life as what they wanted in the first place. No romance at all and The Writer was really brilliant in this aspect because the Character of Namgoong Min here was very different. He has emotion here but he doesn't know how to show it. Actually, without the other characters, NamGoong Min can really pull off the story alone. He is one of the few Actors in South Korea that is very versatile and that what makes this series a successful one....Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Interesting start that falls a bit flat near the end
Well made, but after 10 episodes or so we know everything that's truly important... The last episodes were much less interesting than the first, and so it falls a bit flat near the end. Still, a solid 8 in my opinion, and a thriller worth watching.What I really liked was the backstory and the interesting character of Namgoong Min. The background music was also very good and added to the dramatic feel of it all.
What I liked less was the scientific nonsense. It's to be expected in any story that attempts to incorporate sci-fi elements of course, which makes it forgivable as long as it is not too obvious - I could forgive it here because I've seen worse. It definitely paints scientists as people without a conscience though, willing to sacrifice anything for an endgoal. But then, every story needs a bad guy so that too is forgivable. And as opposed to other kdramas, they do make the police upper management not entirely corrupt but more of a grey zone, which is something I haven't seen too often: they're either made out to be the bad or the good guys.
Regarding the storyline. It starts incredibly strong: you're wondering who the culprit is, and then Captain Do is this fascinating mystery. But at a certain point half-way into the story, all of his mysteriousness is gone. We know exactly who he is and how he came to be at this point in his life, why he does what he does. And sadly, as his mystery is gone, so is the plot development and my interest. At that point, the story is just like this. Team Evil tries to get Captain Do, they fail, and Captain do tries to find their location and gradually gets closer but never close enough. The story just doesn't move along anymore.
And so, while it was interesting enough to watch the show completely, it doesn't match up with the best of the best thrillers out there.

unreadable.
The main character is smart and can be said to be unreadable at all at the beginning of the episode I thought he was just an ordinary detective but all the cases he handled did not think that he was the one who made the problem and I always asked what happened 28 years ago but everything was revealed when I found out I was very surprised and felt sorry for the children who became test subjects and it was all the work of rich people who wanted to live forever. namgong min acting no joke i think.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Just wow!
Let me start by saying that this is not my go-to genre. It's kind of hard for me to rate, because usually I rate on my enjoyment of a series. I, truthfully, can say that I didn't really enjoy it - wait, before you jump down my throat, hear me out. I didn't like the way it made me feel. It was dark and depressing, with the barest hint of clever repartee to lighten the mood slightly every so often. So, bottom line, the show achieved what it set out to do. It was so well written, and the acting was absolutely top-notch. I felt uncomfortable while watching it, watching morally/mentally gray characters. It raised a lot of questions while watching it: Where is the line between right and wrong? Is it hard to keep trying to straddle that line? Does absolute power corrupt absolutely? Do we ever really know those around us?Most of the actors I had seen in other works, and they all seemed to be different versions of themselves than I had seen before. The sign of good acting.
If I didn't have to have a minimum word count, my review would consist of these two words - Namkoong Min. Always brilliant. I do have to make a complaint about the makeup on him. It looked like they went overboard on the self-tanner. His skin was so much darker than everyone else, it really bothered me. And I could have done without the sleazy moustache.
So, my suggestion is that you watch it, but be prepared to want to give up your daily life until you've finished it. It's just that good.

the second best drama for Nam Goong Min ever
Korean drama "Awaken" is a 2020 Korean drama belonging to South Korea and is produced by Tvn. The drama I can say was one of the most beautiful dramas of this year's research that I was watching that gave me a special pleasure and a wonderful beauty, as well as the storywriter and director of the drama were at the top of it, and I don't talk about the actor "Nam Gong Min" because his works were always excellent and gave full importance to his dramas , Then the other actors of the drama were very good and there was a great chemist in it, which was very good for the dramaEsta resenha foi útil para você?

Great cast and director; weak female character development
This is a good series, but it does sag occasionally because the sequencing can be too long and limp for the actual plot and character development. Not enough attention is given to developing the female leads or the relationships between characters. It puts more emphasis on plot than on character development, but even then the writer leaves too many holes that she continues to spin, and not effectively. However, the series can definitely be recommended for its terrific cast and directors who keep the audience’s attention throughout despite the writer’s occasional oversights.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Un scénario intriguant et intéressant.
Nam Goong Min!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oui, je commence avec l'amour de ma vie. Par ce qu'avec lui, tout scénario, même bidouiller au fond d'une cave nébuleuse à 3 devient intéressant. Pas très objective comme remarque, mais nous avons tous nos petits travers et nos faiblesses. Et Nam Goong Min en fait définitivement partie!Cela étant dit, bien que cela ne soit pas un masterpiece à l'égal de Chief Kim, c'est un drama qui intrigue et plutôt bien ficelé.
Dès le début, nous sommes happés par ces images dévastées par le feu, ces mots murmurés, au sens effrayants, ces silhouettes meurtrières...Ceci est posé et cela restera le moteur du drama. C'est bien conté. Le suspens est au rendez-vous et plus le drama avance, plus on s'exclame (j'avoue, surtout quand Nam Goong Min est à l'écran, mais ceci est tout autre chose), plus nous découvrons le pourquoi et le comment. Cette touche de science fiction, sans être extravagante, est excitante (par ce que Nam Goong Min encore une fois, on est bien d'accord). Je ne dévoilerai donc pas le tenant du scénario, et bien que certaines choses sont plutôt aisées à deviner, le drama reste très plaisant à suivre. Nous nous prenons au jeu des devinettes "qui est qui, qui fait quoi".
La réalisation, une habitude chez les coréens, est agréable, fluide. Les scènes d'action sont bien orchestrées, j'aurai aimé un peu plus de ces scènes, où on voit Nam Goong Min Oppa mettre une raclée magistrale à tout le monde (je m'emporte encore...).
La petite, riquiqui (et c'est tant mieux, hum voire Nam Goong Min dans une romance n'est pas mon genre favori ^^), touche de romance est adorable. Juste la phrase qu'il prononce "Tout était clair. Tout a toujours été clair. Jusqu'à ce que cela devienne flou..." avec ce regard de "ouf", j'a bien cru y laisser mon coeur. Juste 1 minute et ce fut 1 minute de trop pour mon petit coeur.
Les personnages. Ils ne font pas partis de ces personnages qui marquent à vie mais ils sont loin d 'être mauvais. A l'exception de Nam Goong Min (en toute objectivité, hein?). Ils remplissent correctement leur rôle, mais ne sont malheureusement pas assez attachants. Disons, que si un personnage venait à mourrir, nous n'aurions pas besoin de nous cacher pour en pleurer tout notre content.... Sauf....tadam ! Nam Goong Min (quelle surprise).
Ce personnage est à lui tout seul génial ( en même temps....). Complexe, mystérieux, drôle et attachant. C'est ce qu'est Do Jeon Woo. Et puis classe et bad ass en même temps. Ingénieux et intelligent. Bref, un personnage comme on les aime. Il est juste dommage que les personnages secondaires ne soient pas du même niveau, tant de part l'écriture que de l'acting.
Il est à noté (mais cela va de soi) que l'incroyable interprétation de l'acteur y est pour beaucoup. Nam Goong Min, comme à son habitude, excelle dans l'art des expressions faciales mi-héros, mi-psychopathe. C'est tout un art, il nous le prouve encore une fois. Ce sourire de sociopathe alliant à ce regard sombre de chevalier à l'armure blanche qui hurle joyeusement "je vais tous vous buter" sont d'une telle intensité que l'on ne sait jamais s'il est du côté de la lumière ou de l'obscurité. Chut, mais la fin nous montre encore une fois l'immense talent de mon chouchou.
Ce drama, sans être dans les hautes sphères, tire son épingle du jeu de par son scénario intéressant et intriguant, cette montée rapide en adrénaline, et surtout, grâce à l'interprétation incroyable de Nam Goong Min.
