My View
PP is a very different kind of crime drama. Yes, it is still to expose the bad deeds of higher-ups like any other dramas. But the way the plot is written unravels extraordinarily.
One of the cases involving a suicide by a helpless lady certainly impresses me.
Pied Piper's real identity stuns me as well.
