Quick Synopsis:
Based on a Naver webtoon 
Dae Yong accidentally falls of the roof and miraculously survives. Three days after recovery, he notices that he is seeing strange things. People's eyes are sometimes red or blue. Red eyes means the person will die soon, while blue means they are planning to commit murder. What will Dae Yong do with this special ability he now has?


My Thoughts:
Story Line:
I find the idea of this series a bit refreshing. It was cool to see a little thriller about someone who can see that death is near but is not sure how the person would die. I feel it to be a little bit of staring Death in the face and looking into its eyes. Of course, our main character is there to be the hero by saving the red eyes from such a fate. Also, there is no good thriller without someone who is the opposite of our hero and has the same abilities. The big surprise was the the girlfriend can do the same but chooses to do nothing about it. There is also a nice final episode that shows life after he loses his ability and going back to living a normal life.

Cast:
Everyone seems to be a young actor here except of course the adults. The only person I really liked here was Kim Geun Hyeong. He was good at being a sadistic killer. The others have potential but I find them all to be better at teenage romance dramas then a thriller. I don't think they can pull of such characters.

Music:
The music is what you would expect of an action thriller like this. It is all just orchestrated to add to the suspense of the story. The only song in the show is the one for the closing which is a very nice song, I wish there were subs for it though.

Overall I would rate this drama with a 3/5.
