Smoking was both unsettling and engrossing from the start. Despite the fact that it was a really disturbing watch for me, it surely held my undivided attention. It's loaded with violence and gore, which made me cringe and feel uneasy several times. As a result, this drama is not suitable for those sensitive to excessive violence. However, if you can handle it, I highly recommend it.

The drama has some very intriguing individuals, each with its own set of storylines that gradually unfold. All of the characters are distinct and three-dimensional. Together, they create an unconventional found family that will surprisingly warm your heart at times. They are cruel people, but they still have rules and morals that they follow. Hifumin, I believe, is not cruel like the others since he is a very vulnerable character. The actors' portrayal of the characters was believable.

The drama is short and fast-paced, making it easy to binge. The story progresses very well, and it's full of tension. It's action-filled, though nothing impressive, it was good enough. There was a point in the story when it was trying to evoke a lot of emotion from the audience, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.

In terms of technical components, the drama does not disappoint except for the music. It's a visually appealing drama with a grim tone. The atmosphere in some scenes is also spine-chilling. There are several screenshot-worthy moments, and the camera angle is also rather fascinating in some scenes. In brief, it's a solid and intense drama worth checking out.
