This is a virtuoso execution of a dark, twisted story. The first episode grabs you with its one take, seemless camera work; But it gets even better after its cliffhanger ending (and there will be more of those!).

It is available in a dubbed version (which is very well executed), that allows one to follow the story and plot. Both happen at breakneck speed, which makes each episode fly by (there are 6 episodes). Performances are just fantastic, with both leads and secondary characters given the opportunity to shine. While quite dark, and even bleak, it has moments of humor that genuinely release the accumulated tension. One particular character/situation gets more and more absurd, and funnier each time.

Really hoping there is a second season, but this is a heck of a series if it's just a stand alone !

I haven't watched the whole show yet, but the first episode is so gripping and dark that I couldn't believe myself.

I am a Drama addict, I have binged shows from all around the world but never written a review before.

I'd like to congratulate the director of the 1st episode.

From the dialogues to the bargaining to the continuous camera execution. Everything was perfect.

It's a perfect reminder to us all that how our greed/lust can make us blind to the obvious traps set up in the real world.

How our mind convinces us to trust unknown people. I didn't blink even once during the whole episode.

I hope this show maintains its quality throughout the season.

1st episode has set the bar quite high.

Money, Blood, Prostitute, Gangster... and Apocalypse!!

I thought It looked like a pretty mess, but I've changed my mind after watching the whole episodes, this 'Bargain' is lung-busting and well-made bargain.

In my opinion, if the series launched in the 'N' channel, I'm sure it will be more popular.

But the thing about this kind of series, people's like and dislike are quite clear.

So, if you like the things in the first line, it will be good for you to watch the series right now if not, you'd better click the button for backward.

If you don't know about your preference, just watch the series til EP.03 and then, you are going to finish the all EPs.

This is one those that will grab you straight from the start and it moves very fast from the get GO. Its very adult themed and typical in the Koran frame of sh@t happens. I have to say its fresh story telling and dark and funny at the same time. If you have a dark sense of humour you gonna love this. I've not seen any thing like this for a long time. Love the Korean approach to TV it twisty and cast and strong personalitlys. Power grabbing and making moves in the general our line here but done well. It very good that all I will say. Everything changes within minutes and it twisted and sick in places your gonna love it!

Bargain seemed excellent for the first couple of episodes I was totally immersed in the story. The problem is that none of the characters are likable, not even one person here is someone to identify with, and that begins to matter around episodes three and four when the viewer is subjected to long drawn-out character driven interactions inside of a storage room.

The main characters are an incredibly strong female lead who unfortunately is also a terrible person, and a detective who I couldn't forget was trying to bang a virgin and upon discovering she was just an escort tried low-ball her for less than 100 bucks in the year of our lord, 2023. There's no one to root for, not even the desperate good son, who starts to become wearing as he continues to insist that the detective owes him an internal organ while everyone else around is just trying to survive.

I have seen better k dramas.
