First of all, I wasn't expecting this series to be so good. I am not a big fan of MaxTul, one of their previous drama had actually traumatized me to the point that I refused to watch anything else with them. But this series just changed my whole perception of both.

Let me break down the review for you all:

Story
I was actually amazed to know that the storyline of the series is actually a bit different from the original novel. Generally, authors don't like if their original material is not followed, but hats off to the author for being open-minded and giving the team creative freedom. The story is so engaging and fast-paced that things are insanely interesting from the first episode. I like how bits and pieces of clues were given since the first episode regarding the murder of Jane which is the headstart of the main events that are to be followed. Elements like corruption, sex trafficking, a victim of sexual abuse and drugs are well incorporated into the story which actually brought the essence of the series and delivered the necessary message to the audience. I like how there was not a single necessary part that was not added to the narrative, rather I had issues with certain parts which were left unexplained.
The series is more like a plot and character-driven. I felt that the relationship thing was actually secondary which is absolutely what I was looking for. The ending was rather good as well as a bit open which gives us hope for the second season(not confirmed).

Acting
Max did a remarkable job in portraying his character, Tan. I like the transition of his expression from caring to fiercesome making it suitable for his character. As someone who has a complicated background and struggles in the mud of the dark side, he is shown as a mysterious person. Initially in the story, you can notice his smile which comes off as he is hiding something, but as the story progresses we see the real Tan and his genuine smile. He sometimes gives a psychotic vibe who is ever-ready to finish his job at all costs but at the same time beneath that cold demeanor, he hides a caring personality for the people who are close to them and would do anything to keep them safe. Max never failed to deliver the right emotions at the right time.
Tul had portrayed Bun. We are introduced to his character as someone who doesn't easily back down even when being pressured by someone influential. It is he who initiates to get entangled in the mesh of the complication in the plot despite being warned and threatened.
Okay, so I was shamelessly distracted by Inspector M. I mean he is so freaking gorgeous. I was so glad that he didn't pick the bad side which I initially thought he might which would've broken my heart. His character is a perfect example of someone who is trapped in the pressure of corrupt power. His conscience of being a policeman is often contradicted when he obeys his immediate superior.
