Excellent
Now I have to come up with enough words to justify a posting, as if that is not enough so far just to say "excellent" and leave well enough alone...This is really good, really intriguing.
There are so far to my experience two kinds of Korean movies and TV, either cute girls and guys in series that start off well enough, but then rely on being "cute" and eventually "jump the shark", and then there are masterpieces all the way around.
This series is in the later category, it has great depth and character development.
Basically this is a police detective series, and it is incredibly difficult to say more than that without triggering any kind of spoiler alert.
I will say this, there is a wee bit of sci fi, incredibly masterful sci fi. Often when you read a sci fi book you get a profound depth of feeling, perhaps like as if to say "Truman Capote was here", and then this typically is lost in translation to the screen.
Wherever and however this conceptualization has originated, the translation to the screen is spot on, it carries the ball as any great sci fi author would have intended.
I continue to be immensely impressed with Korean cinema and TV exactly for works like this.
The only downside is that you have to follow subtitles. My wife doesn't like that, but it seems like I do not even notice that they are not speaking native English. It is that engrossing.
score 10/10
