The positives of this series include a strong cast, engaging writing and appropriate though over the top dark atmosphere. The execution is good and I like the psychology/crime genre. The poor lead male actor is given the role of a massive creep though with some human emotions, which makes him slightly less one dimensional. The female lead is morally void but may have a bit of a highly twisted moral compass. I'm not too familiar with Asperger's but here moral ambiguity is highlighted. The police are painted as completely incompetent, which may be true but so disappointing to watch time and again in kdramas. The female police officer is not even recruiting back up when fully aware she's going into a risky situation. Irresponsible and incompetent for a police officer. The motivation of the male lead serial killer remains very obscure because in his first encounter with murder on Somebody he did not initially act with bad intent. For this to transform into a serial killer motivator, something was missing. Last but not least, k entertainment is really good at morally ambiguous characters but at what point do they become morally void? All characters were somewhat watchable and engaging but none was completely appealing or even interesting on their own.
