" The Game : Towards Zero " was a nice drama.

The first episodes were confusing, as the drama throws the viwer straight into the story without background information about the characters of the main lead's ability. Plus, you know straight away who the serial killer is. However, the drama weaved a nice, compelling story, full of thrilling moments, intensity and twists. The melodrama was good too. So, the story can keep the viewer on the edge of their chair till the very ending. The latter was pretty great and well presented. But the highlight of the drama was the creation of an intriguing villain. They gave him a strong background story, a human side when he was doubting his own actions and wanting to change, and a some interesting connections with the main characters. The romance, however, felt a bit fake. It was more like love in the first sight, as the drama focused more on the case than the couple, as it should really. The male lead's background story was not well presented and they didn't explain his background well. Still, the performances were great.

So, overall, 7 out of 10.
