Now Han Jun diverted his interest to the Rainbow crew and observed them closely. He seemed to be a cold businessman and a serial killer. This episode started the hunt between Do Gi and Han Jun.
The audience liked the role of Shin Jae Ha as Oh Han Jun in the series. He was truly remarkable, especially in those suits. Lee Jee Hoon as Kim Do Gi was no joke. The way he showed his humorous side and won the audience’s hearts is a grave crime. In the series, his action scenes were largely required. He was funny and cool at the same time.
Pyo Ye Jin also delivered an excellent performance. Ahn Go Eun was smart and strong, and Ye Jin depicted it well. Other supporting characters did their job perfectly. The show became a hit together with each character’s efforts and dedication.
As this episode exposed the villain, he wanted to know more about the Rainbow unit in-depth and disclosed their reason for their doings. Also, this episode gave a glimpse into his character, so it’s pretty sure the series will be interesting.

This series will take you on a tour of the rage, apprehension, and bleak reality of South Korea. And the cinematography is really impressive. The audience appreciated the efforts put in by the series’ storytelling and performances.
Episode seven depicted how people put blind faith in these cults and their leaders and how manipulative they could be.
There’s one dialogue expressed by Sung Chul in this episode about the cult that, The weaker the body and mind, the more susceptible and dependent they get, which is very veracious about it. It is a must-season to watch that is action-packed and amusing.
