The verdict

Is it worth starting?

This is a first season — Korean crime with drama threaded through, not one for younger kids. The 7.5 rests on just 23 ratings so far — promising, not proven.

Story

A reclusive writer wakes to find his identity stolen — and must ally with a ruthless loan shark to reclaim his life from a man known as "The Rat."
