Had potential but execution fell short

It started off pretty interesting and the suspense was there.. I felt that the characters needed some time to grow on viewers coz a lot of them were still kinda annoying every now and then. However, the motivation of each character was pretty messy. You have no idea what each character is truly after. But maybe that's supposed to be the charm of the show because the plot and characters are supposed to keep viewers guessing until the very end--who is with Gaetal and who isn't? Who is the REAL Gaetal?

The police in this series were definitely really sloppy in the way they worked. Even if they are quick to take action, the way it appeared felt more like they were just scrambling to do stuff. Also, A LOT of yelling. Characters, especially the mains, were very hot tempered and impatient characters, so they yell very often when things don't go their way. The FL and her sister were kinda annoying at times too because they tend to babble a lot and butt in a lot. I have nothing against the actresses though. I love the cast for this show that's why I watched it until the end. But the characters were all very flawed to the point where they come off as annoying. But It was still bearable. The yelling and nagging of the sisters, Mu-chan (male lead) being impulsive and constantly yelling especially in the first half of the series, Mu-chan making decisions that viewers would find frustrating, the police's incompetence. Phew, glad it's over now.

Pace of the drama was good after the half way mark, but for us who watched it while it was still being broadcasted, the momentum just kept getting cut off because of the postponement of episodes. But now that it's over, maybe binge watching it would give you a better experience.

The ending was really anticlimatic for me. But perhaps that's the message of the series. Injustice will carry on forever. Those in power will never be punished. Victims will still live knowing that justice wasn't served. Or they are the ones who end up sacrificing themselves in search of revenge and justice. And even if one Gaetal is gone, there will always be another.

It's sad to say that The Killing Vote was rather disappointing overall to me. It had a lot of potential as a vigilante drama, but it definitely fell short in terms of execution. I wouldn't say it wasn't enjoyable at all because I did enjoy it. But the ending for some characters (not just talking about the final episode) wasn't really satisfying. In a way, I guess this is a different kind of vigilante drama where the main vigilantes barely got any justice and they were mostly given an unfair ending while the real bad guys barely got the punishment they deserved.
