What an amazing production.

Writing which gives you the idea that you have figured it all out, and then pulls the rug from under you. Multiple times. And then again for good measure.

The production values are amazing. The dreary atmosphere that is being set really works with the story that is being given. And the scenes look beautiful. I almost thought this was a horror series from some of the scenes in the first episode.

Acting is superb. None of that over the top acting in this one, this one plays it deeply serious from start to end. And everybody does an amazing job. Really good casting here.

I can understand the criticims that some scenes take long yeah, but they do look amazing and some of them also give the impact they are trying to generate because of taking that extra pause.

I can easily overlook that though, because I really enjoyed this production. Very much recommended if you like a dark mystery.

The plot is very good, however, perhaps with the intention of adding more drama, the director presents us with excessively long scenes, so long that they even look like still shots, which makes the development a bit slow and boring. Despite this detail, the characters seem to adapt very well to this slow style of telling the story, where the performance of the suspicious daughter and the profiler stand out in an outstanding way, even giving the impression of having worked with this director in other opportunities. Describing the style as slow is not intended as a negative criticism, on the contrary, given that this is a drama and suspense series in which each episode gives us more questions than answers, it may be of interest to that audience that loves to be kept on the edge of the couch without a single clue about the outcome.

As of this review, 5 episodes have been released in this 10-epdisode drama. So far, it seems we have a winner. There's much to talk about, but I want to start by saying stylish the show was shot and edited. The dark tone throughout the show and background music adds to the suspense. This psycho drama about a veteran profiler trying to solve a potential serial murder case with his own daughter involved somehow in at least one of the deaths takes you on quite a ride.

This show is not for casual viewing, as you will need to pay attention to keep up with quite a few key characters introduced in the first few episodes. As I've mentioned, the first half of this show has been incredibly good. I certainly hope the second part can deliver what it promises.

The storyline is captivating and the acting is top notch. You'll find yourself immersed in this story from the get go and will find yourself trying to investigate and solve the case along with the characters.

Since the show has more episodes to be delivered and you never know if the show is going to go off a cliff somehow, so I'll reserve further comment. However, so far so good, in fact, very good.

I started watching this drama because I heard that my favorite actor, Han Suk-kyu, was appearing on MBC, where the original drama was aired, for the first time in 30 years.

I think Han Suk-kyu is one of the best actors in Korea in terms of acting skills, and the directing, story, and acting skills of the other actors who appeared with him are the best among the dramas I've seen this year.

The tension and directing in each episode are outstanding, and it makes you wait for the next episode every time.

I recommend that you don't approach it too quickly, but savor each scene and enjoy it.

The best Korean drama of the year is currently airing on MBC on Saturdays and Sundays, and can be seen worldwide on Netflix, so I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes.

I can confidently say it's an absolute masterpiece! The show brilliantly blends intense suspense with deep emotional layers, making every episode a thrilling experience. The writing stood out the most-each scene felt so carefully crafted, with twists that left me speechless.

This drama is a prime example of quality content, and what sets it apart is its cinematography, screenplay, and the unpredictability of the plot. The dynamic interactions between the characters and the way different aspects of each character were portrayed was truly captivating. The show lived up to its title "Doubt" and maintained its suspense all the way through to the final episode.

I wouldn't recommend this drama to just anyone, as it may not be cup of tea for everyone. Not everyone appreciates the depth of slow-burn thrillers. However, this drama is a perfect representation of how a slow-burn thriller should unfold. It never felt boring because the characters were engaging enough to keep you hooked.

For anyone who hasn't watched it yet, watch it without a "doubt" 😄 it's not just a show, it's an emotional journey. Highly recommended!
