The potential...
So yesterday I finished the drama, and honestly I wanted to love it so so much but it just couldn't live up to my expectations. I really liked the plot, the music, the visual, it gave me a bit of a True Detective feeling. And still I nearly dropped the whole thing after the 4th episode, because the writing pissed me up so much. Basically every character was terribly written.Lee Jae Han: Who is despite a policeman, creeping on his crush following her from 10 meter and hiding behind bushes when she turns? And literally trying to run away when the girl approaches him? Srsly? As a fresh policeman he should be more than 14 years old i guess. At least later on the show he matures and from there he is the most realistic character of them all.
Park Hae Yeong: The absolute worst character I ever met. In the majority of the show he just stares into the abyss with a question mark above his head, or just simply asking back to every piece of information given three times.
He is not the killer!
He is not the killer?
No he is not
So…. he is not?
Despite he supposed to be the brain in the “team”, he was basically useless in the entire show. He is definitely not a professional detective, just a selfish emotional idiot. Sometimes I was truly thinking he got some mental challenges to understand the most basic things happening around him…
The Cold cases team, is also a non existent thing, because the show falls into the most brasil soap op cliche of all times, the members are not talking to each other, not sharing informations the typical thing where a problem could be solved with 2 sentences but, nooo the characters just staring each other and then walking away silently… Oh Cmooon!
I understand they wanted drama everywhere but this is not the way you should make drama. This is just bullshit. I was preparing myself for the episode where they show us the Inju case (the main thing. The case which started all of this), I really hoped they will give to the `what happened that day` a full episode placed only in the past, and show us (the viewers) the brutality of the gang rape, how the whole village knows what happened, who did it, but keeps silent because of the absolute power of the cement company… That could have been dramatic where we see how bad is when company leaders have absolute power on people and even the police. What we got? A half episode a weird rape scene where one person rapes the girl who gets into the hospital after? So it wasnt a gang rape then? Or when did it actually happened? Did I miss something?
Every time something good happened, and I started to lay back to finally enjoy the show the writers decided to make some idiot choice which ruined the whole experience again and again leaving me frustrated because this show had so much potential. The way Lee Jae Han finds the scarf… I'm still shocked how bad that was. And why the heck they had to explain everything like two times to the viewers? I constantly felt the writers thinking im stupid or just really slow like Park Hae Yeong. I remember the scene where I was like “finally the scene they made clever”. It was the photographers missing girlfriend and the fact she was reading a book and they just showed the book in her hand for a split second and I was like omg yess the book the book! And what happened next? I can imagine the writers were like “Oke, we need to explain to the people what is happening because you know not all of them are so smart like our police” and bammm another disappointing solution. Same with the woman who comes back to SK because of the sick mother. You can put together the puzzle pieces but noooo Cha Soo Hyun explains you everything when she talks to the sister…
Im so pissed, because this could have been a unique masterpiece but the lazy, incompetent writing ruined the show for me.

just straight up a waste of time
Just bad. The first maybe 3 episodes were great and promising and then everything just took a turn for the worst. Every fucking thing is inconsistent and everyone is just evil. It's like they just had a big ball of the worst things humankind could do and kept picking chits out of it every 20 minutes. No catharsis AT ALL just pain and discomfort. Why were all the murders only of women and children? God i could write a whole book of the the plot holes and issues I have with this drama. Can't believe I wasted so much time — my sister and I started the show one night and got hooked initially but it was so fucking dumb and bad as it progressed BUT we couldn't stop. The agony. We had to complete nearly 18 hours worth of run time in 10 hours by skipping tonnes of shit and watching it at 1.5x (don't worry you won't miss anything) I've never hated lead characters this much ever before the two male leads (esp lee jehoon) were all that kept me going. And I generally only like the women in a show but MY GOD did they make me hate the FL. Just bad don't watch this show it's just awful. I should've just read about it on dramabeans. As a film and writing student especially i really lost the will to live while watching this raging pile of dogshit the crew and cast that worked on this need to reflect on their actions.Was this review helpful to you?

Superb acting, interesting plot!
One of the best crime thrillers, the acting of all leads was superb, and the plot was very interesting. The show was emotionally rich despite being a thriller, the melancholia and loneliness of the three leads binding them together. A unique take on time travel, which keeps the viewers hooked and asking for more! I watched this show after knowing that a sequel was coming out next year, but those who would have watched it earlier without this knowledge, may have been left befuddled by the ending. The show producers gave it an open ended conclusion, probably to create the possibility of a sequel, but they took a good 10 years to come up with a continuation of the story. Looking forward to what the next season holds in store for us, and hoping they’ll not change any actors.Was this review helpful to you?
One word PERFECTION!!!!
WOW…the story line is perfect….it had me glued to the screen the whole time. I enjoy the journey with the main characters. I love how the story was lined to them. It was very emotional to see how hard they are trying to change the past to save people.The acting is great!
After reading the comments saying that this drama is one of the kind and you will not find anything so amazing. I thought they exaggerated but NO. It is a masterpiece. Everything is perfect and it set the bar up so height that it will be hard/impossible to beat it.
Also it made me happy to know that there is second season coming and hopefully we will get the ending we are hoping for.

Deserves to be one of the topmost kdramas
Heartfelt main characters ,amazing story and good music suitable to the tone of the series. I normally don't like shows with a weak ending but the story until that was so good , it didn't effect me that much. If it follows up with season 2, I think my score will change (I think it may go higher if director doesn't let the quality down). Absolutely a must watch kdrama for people who love crime and impactful main characters.It would also be a good gateway for people who love crime and good writing and want to get into kdramas.
