Story 10 Acting/Cast 10 Music 10 Rewatch Value 10 So, I'm RUINED by this show. Been hours since I watched it last night but I still haven't gotten over it. I don't think it's possible. Because Duel is the kind of show that takes your heart, kicks it hard, keeps kicking, and just when you think you can't take it anymore it grabs it and smashes it on the floor, starts stomping on it repeatedly. You think I’m exaggerating? I'm not. This is one of those shows that get under your skin, you know? Change you. You'll never be the same person. What I loved about this one was that no one sat around drinking soju and eating pork chops ???? nothing wrong with that, just making a joke every scene was integral to the story. No filler content. Just sixteen hours of fast paced action, chase, and mystery. Naturally, this is officially going on the list of my top rated shows with I Remember you and White Christmas. I'm in awe of Yang Se Jong who played both characters so well, they felt like two distinct people. A lot of times, I see actors relying on props and make up to play different parts and it comes off as kind of gimmicky. But Se Jong does it all in a subtle way, there's nothing loud or gimmicky about his acting. Of course, he's a great looking kid, with real acting chops. Everything from his body language, to his facial expressions morphs, you start to worry if he has multiple personalities inside his head. His eyes are so expressive, you'll be able to differentiate between the villain's stare and the male protagonist's stare. Se Jong is an amazing actor. The way his whole face, his body reacts to the things and the people around him, it's just mind blowing to watch. So much maturity for such a young age. I don't usually like 'double role' shows where the same actor plays two roles, usually they're not convincing, and like I said end up being corny, but this show is believable. I know I'm going to watch it a million times. Read More Was this review helpful to you?

However, I'm still very glad I watched the drama because it was so unqiue and of all I'd like to say that at first I didn't appreciate Sung Hoon because of how much I appreciated Sung Joon for being nice and sweet. But as I found out more about Sung Hoon I realised how great he is too. I would have loved more twin/clone time and I think the spoiler aheaddeath of Sung Hoon was unnecessary....Well, not entirely. If Sung Hoon was seen to die but then at the end found out to be still alive, it would be such a fucking great Hoon and Sung Joon never got to spend any time together and when they did it was always in the worst situation. I really loved this drama and I am very glad that Mi Rae, Chief Jang and Soo Yeon are alright. I am very very glad that Sung Joon is alright too. However....Sung Hoon....I feel as if he could have had a better though, I loved the drama and I shall remember Sung Hoon as Sung Joon remembers him. Maybe I wouldn't rewatch the ending...but it would be great to see the twins/clones in action love to this drama. Hope to see similar ones in the future. Read More Was this review helpful to you? Completed Yuna4 people found this review helpful Story Acting/Cast Music Rewatch Value I wanted to write a review since I finished this drama but the real life got in the way. But now I have a little time to write about this amazing drama and one of the best Actors I have ever seen. This drama has it all. Tension, Action, Emotions and also silent moments. It is like Circle but also very different. For those who want romance I have to disappoint you, because this drama focuses on friendship and relationships between family Members. The Story is about a father who searches for his daughter who was kidnapped. With the hope of finding his daughter he teams up with a mysterious young man who he believes knows where the child is. The two of them teams up to rescue the child, but after a few episodes you will know, there is more than that. When I watched the first Episodes I asked myself if there will be more conflicts or if the main theme will be the search for the daughter. I can say the wait was it worth because the Father-Daughter Story is important but there is mysterious Case who is very important, too. Maybe more important. Cast The first I want to say is, that this drama was amazing because of Yang Sejong. His Acting Skills are like he is in the industry since years ago. But he is a rookie. I didn't watched his debut drama „Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim“, yet but it is on my 'to watch' List. He played not one or two roles, but three roles. They were all very different and he acted like a Pro. In my opinion he is an amazing Actor. I like many Actors but Yang Sejong is talented as hell. He is one of the best young Actors I have ever seen. In this drama he shows us his skills every single time he appears. Without saying much of the Story I can say that he acts like a pro when he plays more than one roles plus all of his characters are very different from each other. Duel was my first Drama or movie with Jung Jaeyoung so I don't know how he acted in other projects. His Acting here was good. I liked his relationship with his drama daughter and his interaction with Sejongs character or should I say one of his characters?. He has a lot of emotional scenes but I is a veteran Actor, even though he has more experiences with Movies than dramas. His emotional scenes were very movie so I liked his acting a lot. Seo Eunsoo was okay. Not amazing but I liked her even though I think her role wasn't a must. The drama would be good without her role, too. The Actress I was disappointed in was Kim Jungeun. I know she is a very good veteran Actress but I think her Acting here was disappointing. Maybe it was her role, but she could have done better. Most of the time I hated her. Honourable mentions go to Choi Woong, Kim Kidoo, Lee Chulmin and little girl Lee Nayoon. They were good actors and I enjoyed their scenes a lot. Music The Music was good and suited the moments it was played very much. So I think it was good. In Conclusion the Acting of Yang Sejong saved this dramas rating for me. I can only repeat myself. He was so amazing that I could watching this drama all day. But I haven't time. Luckily he has a new Drama *-*. Read More Was this review helpful to you? Completed Dreamer2 people found this review helpful Story Acting/Cast 10 Music Rewatch Value Suspenseful Drama Duel was an exciting show that kept me engaged and I felt it had a satisfying ending. What I LikedYang Se-jong’s performance as two different people was very good. I could definitely tell the difference between them. Sung Joon had a kindness about him and was determined to help Deuk Cheon find his daughter. Sung Hoon, on the other hand, was impulsive and, on the surface, it seemed he was doing what he did because he enjoyed it but there was more to his character. He was unpredictable, at times delusional, and that creepy smile he had was really really felt for Deuk Cheon’s character and was rooting for him to find his daughter. He made a lot of dangerous decisions, but it was understandable since he was in a distressing situation. I liked the bond that he and Sung Joon shared and felt it was built-up well throughout the show. Sung Hoon’s inner turmoil was interesting to witness as well, and I would love to do an in-depth character analysis of him because I felt he was a complicated and complex character with different sides. He wasn’t just the average villain without a reason for what he was doing. He exuded this calm exterior at times but, as the show goes on, he becomes more and more agitated to the point where it seems he's lost his sense of reality. The suspense was well done, and I found myself binge watching to see what would happen next. The music wasn’t very memorable, but it did serve its purpose, which was to pull the viewer into the chaos that was happening to the characters. I liked the storyline and felt invested in it along with the characters. Everything was revealed at a good time and it didn’t feel at all draggy. What I Didn’t Like The underground fighting part seemed a little chaotic and disconnected but it did serve to bring Sung Joon and Mi-rae together. Other than this though, I really enjoyed the show. It wasn’t much I didn’t like. Would I Rewatch? Yes, definitely! It’s a show I would watch from the beginning after a few years. I would say it's one of my favorite chase/suspense dramas so More Was this review helpful to you? Story Acting/Cast Music Rewatch Value A Really Impressive Sci-Fi Mystery I feel as though Duel is one of those dramas which a lot of drama users don’t know about which is a shame because it does deserve a lot more series is a pretty original concept for a Korean drama and as an OCN production has a flare of more “ darker” themes. I’ll be honest in saying that I struggled with the first few episodes. The pacing was a bit off for me and the main detective did get on my nerves a little initially. However when I got over this hurdle of the first two episodes I’m glad that I stuck around as the main lead changed my opinion a lot. A lot of this was down to the main cast who did a really good job as our leads. The biggest praise does go to the second male lead of the series who had to play two different roles with ease. I’ll be honest in saying that given context I knew it was the same actor it was easy to feel as though I was watching two different people. Read More Was this review helpful to you?

I recently just watch it and finished it today. At first, I did not expect anything from this thriller, although, I already find it interesting. The fact that I finished this in one-sitting just show how good it is. Plot twist within a plot twist - which is the reason why it will leave you hanging and wanting for more. Just like OCN drama in a nutshell, every episode is filled with crime, suspense, action-pack, mindfuck and heartbreaking scenes. Only a little time to relax and unwind. This might be the reason why, after watching this, I'm emotionally unstable, I feel relieved and at the same time depressed. The scenes always ingraining on my mind. The others are right, this drama will really get to you. The cast, indeed, portray their characters well. I was attached, badly. The main detective is headstrong that is both his weakness and strength, but if I was also in his position, considering what happened to his daughter, I would be like that too. The prosecutor is greedy but she subtly cares, straightforward and pragmatic. The reporter is stubborn which is also her weakness and strength. And the clones, oh the clones, the first one carries humane tendencies, warm, while the other is cold, neurotic and slowly losing it. One thing these clones/twins have in common they are both fragile mentally and...physically. The music production was perfect. Every sound emphasizes/heighten the feelings, the actions, the expressions and the dialogues of each scenarios. The 1st Ost "Nightmare" by Mad Soul Child is the absolute combination for the drama, or specifically, other says that, it is a song suitable for the evil in all, this is really indeed, one of those dramas that I will watch again because it really impacted me, strongly.

Completed Kate4 people found this review helpful Story Acting/Cast Music Rewatch Value Painful lack of balance. Duel is an interesting tale that serves as a commentary on morality, what it means to be human and what one can do for survival. It mixes typical corruption and crime plot lines with underlying science fiction elements. Sadly, the lack of balance in terms of writing the characters and their backgrounds makes it hard to truly enjoy and appreciate keep it simple, this show kept making me feel angry, depressed and frustrated. This drama was determined to dump any possible bad event on one character, not letting him, nor me as a viewer, take even a small chill break. By the end of the show I couldn't care less about any other character except for Sung Hoon. While making me care so much about the "villain" - the angry, manipulative and selfish one of the Sungs could be considered excellent writing, the fact that it also makes me dislike Sung Joon says many writing mistakes must you commit to make me dislike the good, loyal, selfless and cute character, while I wish to see the happiness of the evil, shady and selfish one? And that's where the lack of balance shows. The good guy was too good and didn't have an interesting backstory, while the bad guy had a compelling background and more complex plot follows a rather typical structure of a crime show. The science fiction aspect has little if not no closure. All storylines for each character got a conclusion - some more, some less have to applaud Yang Se Jong's performance. He aced both the goodness in Sung Joon and madness in Sung Hoon. Truly believable dual acting. I wasn't the biggest fan of Kim Jung Eun in here, but I'm honestly not sure if the problem was her acting, or how her character was watch it if you like to suffer and be frustrated - for some people it makes them feel alive. For me, the drama could have dived deeper into how external circumstances can shape who we are and how we act, what it means to act morally and if it even matters when faced with a life or death situation.

I no longer have the patience to wait out another week for a episode to air. Luckily I've been able to do so with some of my TV shows and now Korean was close to not watching this. I kept running into it while trying to find dramas w/o the romance and it's a very few. I recognized the main male actor from the Partners For Justice series and immediately liked his character. But I avoided watching this but bit the bullet and went on ahead and watched show isn't for the faint of heart. It actually reminded me of that Canadian series 'Orphan Black'. This series wasn't as deep as that series but it had me does run slow and I watched only two episodes a day. I felt a little robbed because there wasn't a lot of backstories about any of the characters. I'm so use to backstories now that when I don't get one or get a little info I get disappointed. They did show a little about what the 2nd & 3rd male lead went through when they were kids. But it wasn't enough for liked the main male character because as the series progressed this guy was like a surrogate father to the 2nd male lead and other people who got involved with the plot. I really didn't like the female prosecutor though. I'm not surprised about not liking several females in this as it always happen throughout the Kdramas I've revenge aspect was a little weak but it was maintained a bit throughout the was a OK watch.

Completed Duel0 people found this review helpful Story Acting/Cast Music Rewatch Value This review may contain spoilers Amazing Cast for an Amazing Drama If you are a sucker for dramas with a lot of action, injuries & crime, then this is 100% the drama for you. This is one of the few dramas for me that has an extremely high rewatch value. The cast in this drama was perfectly picked with high class acting pulling off some difficult roles. STORY - As for the overall story, we saw a lot of actions scenes with the concept or cat & mouse chases. With the three main parties involved, there was action, injuries & development in every episode. There were one or two episodes in the middle where the drama slowed down, but that was purely to prepare you for an impactful such an advanced concept, explaining everything was definitely a difficult challenge. However, to my surprise I didn't feel confused. A lot of information was given to the viewers over the episodes, so getting a clear understanding of how & why things happened was great. There was some information missing or didn't add up, but compared to other dramas in similar concepts / genres, this was explained amazing. CAST / CHARACTERS - Overall the casting for this show was great with a lot of the main actors executing their roles perfectly. To me, there were two main characters that stood identical twins / clones is always a difficult role for any actor. However, it was pulled off perfectly in this drama. Everything from the facial expressions, way of speaking and facial expressions was distinct between the two characters. It was interesting to watch throughout the whole drama and at times made me wonder how the scenes were filmed to be so perfect when the two characters character that really stood out to me was the female prosecutor. And if you found her annoying you, then congrats, she played her role perfectly. It's impossible for two people to have the exact same fingerprint and DNA, so her conclusion that that main MC was the kidnapper was justified as both DNA and fingerprints matched that of the crime scene. Apart from that, as you see in the first episode, Jang Deuk Cheon was out of his mind, so of course she'd believe science. If anything, she was the most logical in all the situations while investigating the truth. REWATCH VALUE - This has and probably always will be one drama that I consider to have a high rewatch value. Every time I watch it I discover more information that I hadn't noticed the previous time. On top of that, the action & actors make this a great drama in general. Was this review helpful to you?

By Vasia Orion Published on 2017/10/28 The idea of cloning is a highly controversial one and for good reason. South Korea has had its own advancement in and moral debates over it, making the lack of the topic's presence in drama fiction a surprising one. "Duel" does not really focus on the existential and other implications of human cloning, but it aims to be an action thriller experience with a related twist. AdvertisementThe series is a pretty straightforward suspense piece with the focus on action and violence OCN is known for. The drama may not break any molds, but it does have the unique appeal of embracing the cloning aspect of its premise, which could have easily been a mere gimmick. Perhaps OCN is learning that baiting does not work without delivery. The drama tries to build a solid mystery around the concept of human clones. The list of good points for "Duel" is sadly not very long, but the strong cast and their good chemistry definitely elevate the drama through many of its problems. Promising rookie Yang Se-jong takes on multiple roles convincingly and Jung Jae-young is as impressive as one would expect, given the veteran's caliber. It is the performance of Kim Jung-eun which stands out, however, as her Choi Jo-hye becomes an unsettling, mysterious force whose trajectory remains wonderfully vague. While the cast and their chemistry are solid, their characters and their relationships are unfortunately gravely underdeveloped. Choi Jo-hye, formidable as she is, has little involvement in things until the final episodes and the central "bromance" has no time to mature. "Duel" focuses so much on the chase and its mysteries of the past, on who must chase or catch whom, that it veers more into action territory than a story-based work. As a result, its story feels like an afterthought at times. The biggest issues with "Duel" are ultimately its plot holes and the eventual injection of far-fetched, forcefully dramatic twists and events into the story which seem more appropriate for soap operas than for a sleek thriller. The writing completely drops the ball on many occasions and the closing episodes are messy in their delivery of an ultimately unexciting resolution. It feels as if the story juggles too much with too little time. "Duel" is lacking in many aspects, especially considering the talent and appealing plot stakes involved, but it is a passable work which at least shows dedication to the catchier side of its premise. The characters are easy to feel for and their adventures are therefore engaging when focused on them, rather than on the often convoluted power games. "Duel" is not terribly exciting, but it is not half bad. "Duel" is directed by Lee Jong-jae, written by Kim Yoon-joo and features Jung Jae-young, Kim Jung-eun, Yang Se-jong and Seo Eun-soo.

Period drama’s narrow focus on telling and re-telling the same stories has, historically at least, deprived audiences of some rip-roaring screen fare. That’s now changing, as evidenced by this film about 18th-century Parisian polymath Joseph Bologne AKA Chevalier de Saint-Georges. As played by Kelvin Harrison Jr, this fascinating fellow escaped a Caribbean slave plantation – his mother was a Senegalese-African woman; his father her enslaver – to reach the highest echelons of French society. There he excelled as a champion fencer, composer and virtuoso violinist, described by US founding father John Adams as “the most accomplished man in Europe”.Screenwriter Stefani Robinson and director Stephen Williams have now brought his story to the screen, beginning with an impressive scene in which Bologne upstages Mozart at his own concert by challenging him to a musical duel F Murray Abraham’s Salieri would have loved to see it! Their weapon is the violin, but the most essential element in Bologne’s armoury – and perhaps that of any Black artist – is his unassailable self-confidence. That genuine talent is the basis for this, and it is also persuasively demonstrated in the on-camera arrangements by Michael Abels, which incorporate Bologne’s own concertos with some interesting speculation on the musical influence of his Afro-Caribbean isn’t the only period drama to centre a person of colour, but while the likes of Bridgerton or the Dev Patel-starring David Copperfield enliven otherwise familiar material with audacious casting choices, this represents a more fundamental, story-level shift. Like Amma Asante’s Belle from 2013, Chevalier retrieves an extraordinary Black life from historical obscurity and deems it means acknowledging the harsh reality of racism, for sure, but not necessarily forgoing the genre’s frothier, escapist pleasures. As Bologne flits from party to party, supping champagne and seducing married women, we enjoy elements of a Dangerous Liaisons-style courtly intrigue, alongside a backstage musical complete with audition montages, and a historical primer on the French Revolution. And while Harrison’s performance may never fully reveal the nature of the man beneath these sumptuous layers of organza, silk and self-confidence, it’s enchanté Chevalier, all the same.

I have never been so affected by a drama before in my life, and honestly I don't know if my longing for this drama is something I'd ever care to repeat. I started this hoping for action and serious topics. I wanted plot and not romantic shenanigans. The drama starts off being pretty much all about a cop looking for his kidnapped daughter. This guy, however, is far from likable, and I found it difficult to sympathize with him in his plight. Why? Because he was, to put it simply, crazy, violent, and screaming. Lots of screaming. Lots of swearing. Lots of beating up suspects without evidence, heavy police brutality. This dude cared for nothing and no one but his daughter and wouldn't hesitate to brutally assault anyone he perceived to be in his way. That's where Clone 1, Sung Joon, comes in. Don't worry, I won't spoil anything. He has no memory of who he is, but Chief Jang decides poor Sung Joon is the key to finding his daughter. When these two meet, this is when the story really kicks off. I hated the detective for the first 2 episodes, but he does become more tolerable thanks to Sung Joon, who is kind and warm and patient where Chief Jang is crass, rude, and prone to fits of random rage. So for the first part of the drama, I watched because I was invested in the development between Jang and Sung Joon. I thought they were a great pair and really balanced each other nicely, and I'm a sucker for any kind of non-romance relationship focus. Chief Jang treated Sung Joon like a tool at first and didn't see him as a human being at all, and I wanted to see that change. There was some mystery and plenty of action for the first 6 episodes, but then it slows down and becomes mostly just drama and mystery with action sprinkled in. Eventually, the plot moves away from the father-daughter focus and we realize that ultimately this is a story about two clones. It's a sad story. Don't watch this if you don't want a ride on the rollercoaster of emotions. One clone is "evil," selfish and out for revenge and the other is kind, selfless and willing to put his life on the line to help near-strangers. But the characters are not simple, and evil clone is not actually just an "evil clone," but is a deep, complex character that will remain in my mind pretty much forever. What is the story really about? It's about clones learning to be human. It's about a father and his daughter. There's also an evil dude who wants to cure his illness and there's his evil spawn who aren't really worth mentioning but the story isn't really about them. No romance, just friendships and family relationships. Yay! Without Yang Se Jong, this drama would be nothing. His portrayal of three characters is something you really have to see for yourself. But let's say I had to keep reminding myself that it was the same actor. He brought the clones to life in a way that made me feel like I personally knew them. The other actors are good too. And JJY is so much more tolerable when he's not screaming his head off. It's not a perfect story, and there are aspects I wish had been different more interactions between the clones, more father-son bonding with Jang and Sung Joon, less of the secondary cop characters, but these factors don't change my love for this drama. I can't stop thinking about it and have already rewatched most of it 2-3 times. Read More Was this review helpful to you?
