[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Voice" Episode 15

The final showdown is upon us. Tae-goo's thirst for sadism wins over reason and his father's begging. Unleashed, Tae-goo is terrifying in the fact that he is unhinged and uncontrollable. Kwon-joo and Jin-hyeok endeavor to shut him down for good, but his network is powerful.

Tae-goo, however, often works outside his network, giving Jin-hyeok and Kwon-joo a huge mess to clean up. Luckily, Jin-hyeok is of the hero variety and saves the bus full of people that Tae-goo purposefully endangered. This particular rescue shows that he and Kwon-joo have finally built up a rhythm and a rapport. I wish it had been done earlier, but like I always say, I'll take what I can get.

The most potent part of the episode was when Dae-sik decided to take responsibility for his actions. Albeit, his methodology was completely unsound, but the emotional impact of the decision was powerful. It's also a section you may want to skim if you're squeamish.

A random aside, Tae-goo's murder house is Kim Woo-bin's house from "Uncontrollably Fond"...and I dont' think they changed any of the outdoor decor.

Chairman Mo is turning out to be more interesting than I thought. He's a classic enabler, but enabling a serial killer is just not okay. Delving into the psyche of this man would be interesting. Does he love his son or is he scared of him? Hopefully episode 16 will let us know.
