Premiere Watch: The Killing Vote

by missvictrix

Time slot: Thursdays
Broadcaster: SBS
Genre: Mystery, thriller, crime, noir
Episode count: 12

Reasons to watch: Premiering in a new 1x a week Thursday slot, The Killing Vote promises to be a noir thriller about the nature of justice. Having the masked vigilante as the antagonist (at least at the start) is an interesting take, since the good-but-bad-guy-against-the-system is more commonly our anti-hero. Still, this particular drama is ripe for twists, and kind of as with Longing for You, if there isn’t more than meets the eye (cop against the clock after evil baddie) then it’s likely to get boring fast. But with Park Hae-jin, Im Ji-yeon, and Park Sung-woong headlining, and the screenwriter of Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, we have much reason to hope for a thrilling ride.

Though the drama will air one episode a week, the first two episodes will drop on the premiere date, just to get you hooked.

TL;DR: Masked vigilante tries to execute bad guys, and Park Hae-jin and co. try to stop it

This may fill the hole left behind by Taxi driver for me.

I love vigilante and revenge type stories, hopefully this one is good.

P.S. Lim Ji-yeon is booked!!

I think this premise is super intriguing, and very excited for this cast. I'm also not watching anything else right now with this darker tone, so it will be nice to mix things up a bit!
