I've never watched many Taiwanese tv series or movies, but my first foray with this series has highly impressed me.
Although it's set in the 90s, it is still very relevant regarding the manipulation and sensationalism of news media in our post modern world. The villain is very resourceful in using it for his purposes.
It's quite gritty and reminds me a little bit of the Dark Knight, a villain is who extremely disturbed, perverse, cunning & strategic. He manages to install fear in the public, while inspiring those disenchanted, mentally ill and criminals of society.
It forces the lead police investigating prosecutor to his mental and emotional limit & challenges his sense of justice, morality & adherence to the law as he investigates the gruesome and perverse deaths of various young women linked to a night club called Kink. Of course our dedicated intelligible prosecutor is always a few steps behind, but his persistence to catch the suspect(s) only delights the killer more and to escalate the risk, the danger and the consequences.
I'm very impressed by all the Taiwanese actors who bring great dramatic and emotional weight to their characters and the situations.
I can highly recommend this series as it has many twists and a real emotional core.
