EPISODE REVIEWS

The episode introduces a dangerous city of hitmen, detectives, and secret organisations. Mixing sharp dialogue with dark comedy, it establishes its tense atmosphere and introduces important underworld players.

The first episode was a really interesting start. At first it felt a bit confusing because there were so many characters and different storylines happening at the same time, but the atmosphere of Hakata made me want to keep watching. I liked how the city feels dangerous while still looking lively, and Lin immediately became one of the most interesting characters. Overall, it was a solid introduction that made me curious about how everyone's stories would connect.

Yep, this is my kind of show. It does really well in expanding into its world and how it functions + all of the characters that we need to know right off the bat. And the first episode is already enough to grip you in wanting for more. It's a vibe for sure.
