How is this drama so good? The tension buildup from this drama was remarkable and how one storyline was able to last 16 episodes without losing a step. Usually with these kind of thriller/crime dramas they would have multiple cases with 1 last case to tie it altogether. But this drama was able to tie up everything back to 1 major case that it began with. Every new addition that was revealed was a perfect puzzle piece to the beginning.

The main character was also the main reason why I loved this drama. His capability to be able to plan several steps ahead of others was remarkable. In most dramas they claim the main character is some genius but they always tend to make a silly mistake or get caught over something small that you think to yourself "how smart are they really?". However, that isn't the case with him at all. He was several steps ahead of everyone at every decision he made. No one was able to get the best of him regardless of how much weaker he was in terms of the power dynamic.

This drama isn't a "who did it" type of drama because we already have the basis of who are the criminals and the tier at which they are on the totem pole - minion, corrupt politicians, etc. It is almost like playing poker in real life. The ML has to in a way bluff or get the best hand compared to the others that are at the same table as him. And they make that comparison in the drama - which fit it perfectly because that is exactly how the ML was playing everyone. He didn't have money or power compared to his opponents but he used tactics and wit to be able to overpower them and get them to "fold".

Overall, it was a great drama and definitely worth a rewatch. And the ending was really satisfying. It tends to be that they rush the ending and u don't really see the bad guys get their just desserts but in this case we are able to witness their fall back to earth and get what they deserved.
