Why It’s Worth Watching
- The drama revolves around the core of “reality,” telling the story of the relationship between people and cases, as well as the impact of cases on people, striving to clarify the “why” behind drug control cases, while also making sure to not be sensationalistic.
- Hunting looks authentic as, instead of being shot in studios, the C-drama is almost entirely shot on location, with fishing rafts, docks, and other places full of life being the main filming locations. In pursuit of a documentary style, the crew sometimes visited four or five locations a day.
