Ok so, I clearly didn’t read the drama description well enough—or maybe at all—because I went into this with plot expectations that never came true. Which doesn’t make this a bad drama, just different from what I was expecting and hoping for. lol
If you are hoping for a reporter + actor who thinks he’s a detective but only plays one on TV reluctantly team up to take down a big bad while mischief, mayhem, and misunderstandings abound….this is not that drama. Just FYI.
It’s a much tamer drama than that, and all in all, a pretty middle of the road, yet enjoyable one at that. My biggest complaint—aside from the fact that my head canon plot would’ve been more fun—Lee Jung Jae’s wardrobe. Why oh why did they choose to dress him like a grandpa?
Nope. This is not for me. Male lead is a MAJOR red flag. I somehow made it to ep 11…but when he 1.) starts forcing himself on her with 2.) the knowledge that she has a “husband” and when 3.) she’s drawn clear boundaries and he doesn’t respect those…I’m done.
K...so Season 2 had it's issues. It wasn't fleshed out enough, it needed a little more backstory particularly for the newer characters, there were definitely some things that didn't make a ton of sense esp. from the police side of things, the CGI was.... what it was, and there were some threads left dangling that I really would've liked tied up up/answered. (Season 3, please?)
BUT even so..... I still LOVED it. Han Seo Hee & Park Seo Joon made me feel things, darn it. They acted the crap out of this drama, gave it just like 111%, and that made all the difference for me. Their feelings of earnestness, longing, regret, loss, and were palpable in every single scene, and the angst-o-meter hit the perfect note for me. Their chemistry with each other and the rest of the cast was just fantastic. Also, all of the action and fight scenes were exceptionally well choreographed and filmed.
I cannot stop thinking about this story and would absolutely watch this drama again.
Wow. This drama really continues to be something really special episode after episode. The characters are just so relateable, all of characters’ perspectives and heartache is understandable, the coulda/woulda/shoulda is so human, the growth and healing is refreshing, and the connections that the actors have all made with each other to make these relationships feel so natural just really sets this drama apart. The writers and the cast are really knocking it out of the park atm. 👏
Could this have been 16 episodes? Absolutely. it dragged, some things didn’t make sense, the writer definitely recycled some drama just for drama’s sake. However the characters and the relationships between all the characters kept me going. If you’re a fan of Yoon Si Yoon, don’t pass this drama up.
Really solid first two episodes. So Min is perfect in this role, the dialogue is fantastic, the relationships feel so authentic and well-established, and the cast they’ve put together for this is phenomenal. 👏
The villains and cases are not related to season1and characters origin is shown in first episode of season 2 so…
it’s a strong ensemble drama. so while the stories don’t overlap hardly at all, you’ll appreciate the chemistry and motivations of the team a lot more if you watch season one.
I was not expecting a lot going into this other than a fluffy little idol drama with members of ATEEZ and SF9. And it delivered; gave me just what I wanted. But the last two episodes, especially the finale, really impressed me. The writers and actors landed this plane perfectly and made me feel things with that last big performance. Very cute and better than I expected.
What a hot mess. The whole reunification idea was so interesting, but it fell so very flat—character development, relationships, plot, all of it. A lot of things that didn’t make sense. Wasted potential.
Huddling together for warmth. Even if it is possibly the tropiest romcom thing I've ever seen, I AM HERE FOR IT. Somehow, this husky-voiced "shoulder thug" made it work with nary an eyeroll from me. Get your penguin huddle on, Seo Ji Hwan.
Ummm... was not expecting to like this so much? But this is so CUTE! It's the drama I needed right now. Fluffy and sweet without being overly saccharine or cringe. Looking forward to more!
I am so angry on Yeo Hwa's behalf. I hope she is able to exact the justice/revenge she deserves on the people who've forced her to live as a shadow of herself all these years. That is some kinda messed up.
