At first I hesitated to watch this because of all the comments. Then someone recommended it to me as something with similar premise to Signal so I watched it and I'm glad I did. I liked Signal slightly better in terms of acting and atmosphere (it was more gloomy and dark) but ai think this drama is valuable. I liked that they didn't use the *corrupt police* trope because, although realistic, it's been WAY overused in dramas. I LOVED how they significantly included empathy for victims and their families because in the end that is what is really important. "the police shouldn't just catch the culprit. It should save lives" Here are some points: 1. I thought the Violent crime squad was very smart. I see many comments regarding police stupidity but I don't think that's the case here. If you've watched Blind you saw how incompetent police looks like. There were some impulsive, ego driven weak decisions here but it doesn't mean theyr stupid.
2. Male lead is a bit aggressive and eccentric with a reason - he's simply a young person born in boomer generation stuck in modern era. He's a perfect boomer dad. He adapted to modern technology very quickly - his personality and way of speech only represents his upbringing and way of life.
3. I think open ending was a good idea. If they'd shown us how future looked like after everything there might've been some plot holes (I don't know how much they've thought through time travel concept for it not to have plot holes) so I think this was safer way out. We don't need to see everything after all, there were hints.
Anyway, I recommend this, it was an interesting watch!
I liked the webtoon better. I felt no chemistry at all between cast members (not even supporting characters) and the only stories I remotely cared about were Sua's background and Gyeong Seok's mother
Production and OST are phenomenal and this drama introduced me to many great actors. Loved the dynamics between male characters and second couple. Other than that I skipped a lot. The plot just wasn't it for me and flashbacks were way too repetitive
this story has a different tone than season 1 which is suitable because it's a different era after all. It's more humorous and focuses on bromance. I do think you should at least find a recap of season 1 for context although they function fne as separate stories. After watching first season I was indifferent but now I hope they make season 3
First half is like a horror movie, second half is quite heartbreaking and we find out everything is not what it seems. Kang Full dramas really are unique, loved the story, the aesthetic and production. Had to immediately watch like five Ju Ji Hoon dramas after this
this is so lighthearted, loved watching it before going to sleep! wish they made more old school comedies like this, gaus electronics, sound of your heart etc.
