The more you sit with it the more it hurts
This follows Jungdo who begins starts off as a martial arts expert who just wants to have fun. One event in which he saves an officer’s life leads him into the police service where he volunteers as a martial officer who hunts rogue criminals under house arrest.I loved the initial humour of the show, it was interesting to watch Woobin in this movie, his charisma and ability to play the part of this younger guy who just wants to have fun and then gets this higher calling that makes him take stuff seriously finally.
However, I think the dark themes of child abuse and hunting pedofiles did not merge well with the action comedy genre of the show.
While the jokes were funny most of the time, it was jarring to have a joke or quirky quip be followed by the hunt for some notorious convicted child abuser.

Good, was waiting for her to be great
I liked the first half of the show and the overall concept it started with on the 4 minutes. The first half was intriguing, perplexing, wonderfully confusing and very enjoyable and I enjoyed the chemistry between what was marketed as the main characters.However, there was a shift somewhere that changed the whole dynamic of the show. The resolution of the show for me felt no better than the hated ‘it was all a dream’. It got really slow and focused too many really long scenes some characters in a single episode that you forget that there’s other characters in the show. I feel they did too much and followed too many characters to address in 8 episodes.
Maybe because the show only had 8 episodes they fumbled wrapping it up well and left so many loose ends that for me I needed tied.

this must have been ragebait
I was truly unable to get through the first 3 episodes. The character of Tuo gave me so much of the ick from the beginning and I could not get over that. Every scene he was in felt like I was being ragebaited truly. what happened to hello, how are you, do you consent??? Bare consent being absent in the year of yaoi 2025?Also it’s described as childhood friends to fake dating to lovers. But they only fake date for genuinely a third of an episode and by episode 3 they’re together, no yearning no emotional turmoil, essentially everything is already done by episode 3 and I must still sit through boredom for 7 more episodes?
it didn’t make sense nor did it entice me to continue further.
the acting was decent I suppose but there’s only so much acting when the script is so atrocious and there’s these random scenes thrown in there with no coherent connection or flow within the plot.
