Suspenseful Drama
Duel was an exciting show that kept me engaged and I felt it had a satisfying ending.
What I Liked
Yang Se-jong’s performance as two different people was very good. I could definitely tell the difference between them. Sung Joon had a kindness about him and was determined to help Deuk Cheon find his daughter. Sung Hoon, on the other hand, was impulsive and, on the surface, it seemed he was doing what he did because he enjoyed it but there was more to his character. He was unpredictable, at times delusional, and that creepy smile he had was really chilling.
I really felt for Deuk Cheon’s character and was rooting for him to find his daughter. He made a lot of dangerous decisions, but it was understandable since he was in a distressing situation. I liked the bond that he and Sung Joon shared and felt it was built-up well throughout the show. Sung Hoon’s inner turmoil was interesting to witness as well, and I would love to do an in-depth character analysis of him because I felt he was a complicated and complex character with different sides. He wasn’t just the average villain without a reason for what he was doing. He exuded this calm exterior at times but, as the show goes on, he becomes more and more agitated to the point where it seems he's lost his sense of reality.
The suspense was well done, and I found myself binge watching to see what would happen next. The music wasn’t very memorable, but it did serve its purpose, which was to pull the viewer into the chaos that was happening to the characters. I liked the storyline and felt invested in it along with the characters. Everything was revealed at a good time and it didn’t feel at all draggy.
What I Didn’t Like
The underground fighting part seemed a little chaotic and disconnected but it did serve to bring Sung Joon and Mi-rae together. Other than this though, I really enjoyed the show. It wasn’t much I didn’t like.
Would I Rewatch?
Yes, definitely! It’s a show I would watch from the beginning after a few years. I would say it's one of my favorite chase/suspense dramas so far.
