  The Last Fight for Justice If you enjoy politics, scandals, power struggles, and a little drama, then you're in for a treat - "Punch - Drama" has it all. "Punch - Drama" isy a Korean drama portraying the lives of modern day prosecutors.

The writing was more than solid - it was inspired. The acting was heartfelt, the direction was clear and clean. Mostly, it was the impeccable writing and the ability of the writer/director pairing to keep the story, and me, on our toes, as each expectation was subverted, played upon and turned into another exciting event.

Very little about the show in writing or execution is haphazardly done. And, like with his previous dramas, Park Kyeong-soo delivers quality work well into the show's run time with his exploration into the darker side of humanity and loads of mind games. Oftentimes writing flags come mid run, but not "Punch -Drama".
