wow. this was a phenomenal 8 episode drama, given the intended focus and how they mostly delivered within that focus.

but i am greedy person who likes my thriller to be complex and well-written, and there's just not enough 'meat' in this for me.

i personally find the finale to be probably the weakest of all episodes with the revelation of the doctor as the real killer that seemed rushed AF and therefore the u-turn in reinvestigation that lead to his release from prison not long after the judgement of life imprisonment.

also, was it that easy for the real killer to confess to a gruesome murder when someone else has already taken the fall? really? are you kidding me?

also, was it that easy for the prosecution and police department to backtrack and admit that they made a huge mistake in the investigation? all of the kdramas i watched up to this point always says otherwise.

everything up to the finale felt so fckin real, and then the finale felt like a total fiction to me, geez.

no scene of the actual murder shown in the drama also which i really hoped is given to us, but nope.

no words to be said about KSH's acting in this, he's truly phenomenal. i also recommend JCW's movie Fabricated City where he also played a falsely accused in a murder case which he also nailed as perfectly as this.

overall, a really outstanding prison drama. i would have scored this more favourably if i consider this a well crafted prison drama, but i like my full blown thrillers more, so i have to score it down purely for personal preference LMAO.

can someone please tell me the relevance of Lawyer Shin having atopic dermatitis to the story? i didn't catch that and always confused by that randomness, LOL.
