    I gave this show a try as a recommended show for those who liked Alice in Borderland. So far I am really enjoying it. I would say it should appeal to people who also like Dark and religious crime dramas like Se7en. You can also make connections with Fight Club, Dexter, and even True Detective. The Dark connection is about the complexity of relationships and how many of the characters are interconnected. Like Dark, sometimes it is hard to keep track of who is who or they are intentionally unclear about the relationship of certain characters as children and who they may be now.

    The premise of the show is that serial killers are born with a certain gene and the question of whether or not they should be aborted before they are born. There are 20 episodes and they are each about 1:15 or longer. So many twists. I ma only 7 episodes in and can't imagine where else this goes at this point.

    It has an 8.7 on IMDB and I think it is deserved. there are some silly things for sure, but from an entertainment perspective it works.

    It may be hard to find, but you can get it on torrance sites. That said, the search on BtN is not easy. You need to search Mouse (2021) to find it. I believe it may also be on Apple TV+.

    Just also found a link to watch online...

    It's a pretty good drama, the acting from the 2 leads is really good. Story kinda hit or miss for me. I enjoyed it, but there's tons of K-dramas I loved more.

    Beyond Evil is my favorite kdrama, you can find it on Netflix. Crime drama/thriller.

    Best thing would be to browse thru my watched list on MDL and see if anything is interesting to you scanning the plots.

    There's a lot of crime drama/thrillers towards the top of my ratings as it's my favorite genre. But I've been branching off into others lately too. There's so many good shows out there to watch and constantly coming. My to watch list at like 30+ atm and I'm finishing my 50th show now.

    Thanks! So far I am really enjoying this through 15 episodes. Beyond Evil is on my watchlist already. Looking forward to taking a look.

    Yeah, it's a good show. That 1st episode is probably the best opening episode I've ever seen.

    I just finished. I thought it was excellent. Obviously have to suspend belief to enjoy, but the way they tied it all together was very well done, especially considering the craziness of it all. I had one major pet peeve, which is probably overblown in the scope of the entire show as I am sure there were a lot more. Everything else I thought was explained pretty well. DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED.
    Father Moo Won would have recognized him and said something during the telecast.

    My only other struggles were the subtitles were really fast at points and it was hard to remember all the names since they are all Korean and mostly new to me, so keeping them organized in my head was a challenge, especially when they referred to someone by a first or last name.
