The Chaser was quite a joyride. Granted, there was excessive screen violence but it thrilled and it excited. I get the appeal. Jungho does a great pissed off face. Everyone was so angry in the show, it was kinda funny. In fact, it was a bit of everything. Dark comedy, a bit of melodrama in the form of Mi Jin's daughter, action blockbluster with all the running and fighting, psycological thriller as the mental murderer toyed with the minds of the police. It kept you in tenterhooks throughout. You couldn't look away, maybe only to flinch unwillingly, cry out in injustice or send underthebreath curses to the bumbling police. Yeah, the two parallels were presented pretty clearly: the inefficency and extravagance of the police versus the ultimate morally ambigious anti-hero who gets things done, albeit in the 'wrong' way. And what is real justice? What is punishment? It was absorbing, yeah, so try to catch it.

Better get some studying for Chem SPA now, till then.
