    very tight story and some good acting

    This is a very underrated episode. Surprise me immensely.

    The story is believable and played out logically except for the end. Every characters are interconnected with others and such, is a bit complex storyline of which I enjoy. I dont usually go with too simple story line.

    Every character is given their due course and development, we know how every characters behave in a given challenge and circumstances. Their struggles and how they perform under stress.

    Ji Sun and Kwon Yool give a powerful acting!! While the female lead is a bit of disappointment.

    However the ending seems too laughable and unbelievable, the ending is the only flaw for this series. Otherwise, I would have give it a9 or 10.

    Good Enough

    Korean Drama '' Connection '' is a fast paced thriller with a mystery case that spans through time and connects a band of friends to a twisted crime.

    The drama starts out a bit slowly, but when things start 'connecting', the suspense is enhanced and the drama gets more action scenes and more mysterious as well.

    The story isn't linear, hence, it gets confusing at times, but the characters are well handled and the minimum amount (to zero actually) of romance was a smart choice for the plot. In addition, the performances were all great, by everyone in the cast.

    So, overall, six out of ten.....

    So underated

    This show is too good. Really good story. I don't remember any plot holes.

    I was not sure if I should watch it since the rating is not that good, 7.9 at the moment. However, for some reason I felt I should give it a try, and it was totally worth it.

    I liked the characters and the story. Until the last moment you are not really sure what happened.

    Not much violence, some fights, some drugs, but I'm not sure if it is even moderate, maybe just mild.

    I really like the interpretation of the main character, it seemed really good. I prefer this show than Stranger, which has a better rating. This one is far better.

    Connection. An intelligent thriller, though not without flaws

    The story revolves around a group of friends connected by shady dealings. The main character, a narcotics officer, is kidnapped and made addicted to drugs - a fact he keeps secret in order to investigate the supposed suicide of a friend.

    The plot and dialogues are cleverly crafted, the acting is excellent, and the drama unfolds without any romantic distractions.

    Nevertheless, there are some disruptive elements, such as prominent product placement or implausible handling of evidence within the department. Also, the way withdrawal symptoms are depicted is illogical. Probably they were crafted this way for dramaturgical effect or to depict the immense willpower of the affected person. However, it rubbed me the wrong way.

    If you can look past these shortcomings (among others), you'll be rewarded by a captivating, gripping and entertaining show that never gets boring.
