Crime

No. of Episodes

16 - running time of 70 minutes per episode

Lee Joon-gi, Moon Chae-won

Storyline

Do Hyun-Soo (Lee Joon-gi) is accused of being an accomplice to his dead serial killer father, Do Min-seok (Choi Byung-mo). After waking up from a car accident, he takes over the identity as Baek Hee-seung. 

Hee-seung marries detective Cha Ji-won (Moon Chae-won) and leads a happy life with their daugther Baek Eun-ha (Jung Seo-yeon). Hee-seung's life turns into a complete mess when Ji-won starts to suspect his real identity while re-investigating on the serial killing case involving Do Min-seok.

Review

A little twist here and there and I do pity the real killer's parents. They have to live with their son, going crazy trying to help him cover up his crimes. One touching part where Ji-won (in her mind) said that she is all Hyun-soo has all this time. 

Another one being fellow detective Choi Jae-seop (Choi Young-joon) who decides to let it slide when he is supposed to arrest Hyun-soo. Some crimes happen for a reason where the victims most likely deserve them.

Korean Drama : Squid Game

Year Released

2021

Genre

Thriller

No. of Episodes 

9 - running time of 60 minutes per episode

Starring

Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Jung Ho-yeon, Wi Ha-joon, Heo Sung-tae, Oh Young-soo

Storyline

For those people with bad debts, they are being offered a chance to win some money if they agreed to play games for a few days. Little did they know that the price to pay would be their lives should they be eliminated in the game.

My View

An extremely well-written plot that keep me glued to each episode and I completed the drama in a day. That's one good thing about Netflix series as they are short and sweet.

Found this site of Squid Game's spoilers which is quite mind-blowing actually. There are already tons of SQ's games on Roblox and one of them being Red Light Green Light which I enjoyed playing it.

Rating

5/5 Stars
