I have been on an adrenaline rush the whole time as I binged through all 8 episodes. Every single one kept me on the edge of my seat and yet, there were a lot of good comedy too, weaved subtly through the tense scenes. The ending with the slight reveal was such a surprise and impactful.
I have not see Ju Ji Hoon before this and he totally impressed me as the SOB ML who knows what he wants and how he wants it, and almost all the time he is totally validated in his actions and decisions. His crew is amazing too, and they are so entertaining to watch. I have seen Choo Young Woo as the ML in other dramas and again, he did really well as the bumbling resident. Kudos to the other characters as well including Kim Won Hae who played the villain - he always brings the best to his roles, and Kim Sun Young who somehow brings a certain flair to her characters.
There should have been a fantasy tag for this drama as well since a lot of the medical successes were just plain amazing and perhaps unrealistic. Having someone as fine, skilled, talented and brilliant as the ML too is borderline fantastical.
I hope there is a season 2 because this was an run and entertaining watch. It would be great to see the team officially assembled, taking on more medical challenges.
Not a bad watch at all. After finishing Miss S, I started watching this, which put me in the mood for more crime dramas in that era.
Most of the cases were interesting, and I liked how Luo Fei, the ML, resolved them. There was some intelligent plot writing there, but there were also some weak moments. The ending, for example, could have been tighter and sharper.
Bai Yu and Ji Chen acted well, as did most of the other actors. Some characters were laughable like that Ye Chang Qing - he did some ridiculous things that should have been taken off the police force.
Great sets, costumes, cinematography, and use of music.
I would have rated it higher if I liked the FL more. The actress was fine, but the character had most of the character traits I don't want in an FL: reckless, senseless, and gullible. For a rookie cop who was supposed to be at the top of her academy, she did not show much intelligence. It does not help that she was often portrayed as being simple, mainly because the show often used her as the ignorant one, and the ML often would "mansplained" to her. Such a missed opportunity for a good strong FL.
The other annoying part was the forced romance. No matter how romantic the music was or how long the lingering stares of Luo Fei were, there was no chemistry between the leads. They are better off as a pair of quibbling crime-solving partners. Along with Ben Jie Ming, they make a great trio! Luckily, the romance was just a minor side plot.
Overall, this show was entertaining, and the ending was not bad for me. Since I didn't care about the romance in the first place, what happened to the FL didn't matter to me. As for the ML, it is what it is since there's still no season 2 after over 5 years.
It is too slow and too much focus on the headhunting work. To make it worse, there are only 2 episodes a week.…
Likewise. I think the cliches are going to happen, including the 2nd FL and 2nd ML ending up together. That's pretty obvious given their interactions so far. However, I am holding out a slight hope that the ex-wife could be a catalyst for the leads to get back together - like she portraying Eun Ho to be this amazing person and Ji Yun should not let him slip away.
So SML's father plotting with FL's rival company..🤔
I think he's just hedging at this point, to see which investment is better. Although I think he wants the FL to be with his grandson who obviously wants the same.

I rather the ex-wife not show up. It would be a bit much to include a breakup due to the childhood connection and that, unless it's to pile on more reason for the breakup.
I just finished ep 6 and I started yesterday. But I am watching a few other dramas. This was supposed to be a…
I liked the way they developed the relationship between the daughter and the FL. I have a feeling that there will be some resistance on the woman's part because it doesn't fit her lifestyle, and then we have have at least one episode of breakup because of past connections...Just what I would expect if they go the stereotypical route but I am really hoping that this one would be different!
Can't believe that the show is still trying to keep the charade going between the leads...while everyone else knows. Anyway, things are getting interesting in the non-romantic area. Waiting to see how Deok Su and Lee Eun are going to mess with Master Cheon and the Minister of War...I cannot stand that minister! I fast-forward each time he comes on screen,
I started this morning, thinking I would watch a couple of episodes, but before I knew it, I was done with episode 6.
What a soothing yet sexy show! I love the chemistry and dynamics between the leads and how the romance is progressing. The insight into the world of headhunting is entertaining but it would have been nice if the competition was not straight-up evil and immoral. I would much rather see some good strategies and a battle of wits.
The camera work and directing are great with the pacing, scenes in slow motion and pauses. Plus, the OSTs and background music are all so fitting, elevating the mood of the scenes. Also love the bubbles and petals in the air, they add a surreal feel.
I don't like the childhood backstory angle since it probably will lead to a reason for break-up but we will see. The show might surprise me.
Yeah not so good in the romance department but at least it is not tragic where one of them dies. Here she has sweet faded memories of someone who made her happy. So I guess it is bittersweet.
Yes! Hopefully, his sayings will get recorded :D At least he made an impression on his future father-in-law!
It's too bad that we didn't see the events unfold more naturally with the officials actually sticking by the Zheng Commissioner instead of this illusion of things working out well for all and XQA has been erased.. It would have been more satisfying that way.
Ep 40 really packed a lot in but kept the ML hidden and left us wanting more. The plot twist about who the real manipulator was just mind-blowing!
Thanks all for sharing your enjoyment of this show! It was well worth the time watching these characters - they were truly likable individuals with mad skills. Hopefull,y we get to see them again in Season 2!
No, it's a happy ending. The ML paved the way to clearing corruption and evil within the court and Dafeng and also made sure that his loved ones had good outcomes. It's also an open ending because the ML was erased from everyone's memories, but they still retain what he has shown them in the past. His love interest feels his absence without really knowing why. Without a proper resolution for the ML, we all want a season 2!

Poor Jun Hwa…but poor Lee Eun more…I’m glad the stupid phase is over
