Remember: War of the Son

Two hours into it looks good has a good story good actors but i sware every adult man in this cry every scene, i know Koreans are not like this i hope they nut up and act like real men going forward, cry cry cry please......

One of the beautiful dramas that you will always remember. All the actors have acted well most importantly the leads, the antagonist and Park sung woong. The reason why we want the protoganist to succeed is because the character arc of the antagonist(Namgoong Min) is well written and when you see the antagonist losing in the end, you will feel for him too inspite of all his sins. The ending was more realistic. It just made to feel that this is what life is. A huge credit should go to the writers for the male and female lead's characterization, it felt more natural.

This is the only kdrama I've watched, and I'm not disappointed. I cried like a crybaby at the end of the finale episode. It's so damn good.

The good points of this show outweigh some flaws.

This is a revenge melodrama about a son trying to exonerate his wrongly accused father of murder. There are some exciting court battles, lots of corruption and the best makjang male villain played perfectly by Namgoong Min. He provides the much needed laugh out loud black comedy as he plays the worst chaebol son you can imagine. Rapist murderer & drug addict you name it, he's it.

Flaws: 20 episodes was too much. 16 would have eliminated some repetitive scenes of angst and flashbacks. Although things do move along with some nice twists and cliff hangers that keep you tuned in, much could have been edited out. Also there wasn't enough romance between the cute leads. Park Min Young is suited to her role since she acts serious roles even better than rom com. Yoo Seong Ho is quite good as the man with a photographic memory although he has some tiresomely repetitive scenes. The conflicted lawyer played by Park Sung Woong is an interesting character.

Min Namkoong is fenomenal in this. He is the main star of the show. His ability to play the extremely disturbed and insane Nam Gyu Man is out of bounds. High praise for his acting skills.

I hope he'll show more of his skills in other projects.

About the show/story: This show once again shows the extreme differences between the "upper" and "lower" class. Money buys everything, and money thinks it is above the law, even the law itself.

The show was highly frustrating in that way.

It was a nice procedural law series with a somewhat satisfying outcome.

The loose ends are all tied up and you can help but feel a bit triumphant at the ending of show.
