Very satisfying ending
ML made the show for me, beautiful acting by ML, he kept me watching. His earnest naivety pulled me in because I wanted him to win or have a happy ending. Truthfully the whole cast did a good job, they were frustrating where they needed to be, likeable where they needed to be, definitely job well done.Watch if you are looking for something that doesn't required too much from you the viewer, but is an interesting story, engaging character (the ML) and a satisfying ending. Not exactly a happy ending but a good ending.

The last episode spoiled it for me
I'm a fan of the ML so I went in wanting to enjoy the show and for the most part I did. This was my first chinese detective drama so there weren't many expectations on my part.It's a good show, I think they had a good story a mix of detective work, palace politics, a revenge plot, friendship, betrayal and a little bit of love, so they had a lot to work with. The acting was mostly good with the exception of the FL, I didn't enjoy her at all I think it's how her character was written, it felt like the script writers kept forgetting her and they'd just squeeze her into to scenes, in some scenes I felt like the scene could work even if she wasn't there, but I enjoy the show nevertheless, until the villain reveal. It was badly done, after the reveal it just looked like they stopped detecting they were just running around, maybe they were still processing, but no it could have been done better. The final showdown battle was worse and the reveal was a let down.
With all that said, I'd still recommend you watch it's a good show, flawed but watch worthy.

Good concept
This is a mostly easy watch, the story is good, the acting is good FL Kim Da Min, I really enjoyed her performance definitely the highlight of the show. It has the right amount of suspense not to much, not to gory either. I wish they had handled the end of the case better but I'm not mad I enjoy it all the same.I hope they do a season 2, the ending left the possibility of season 2 open. I think season 2 could be even better tha this season.
Watch if you enjoy a good mystery, a little bit of suspense and a quirky detective. Also a good paced story.

Overall enjoyable watch
First review so super shortEasy and fun to watch, very good story, beautifully choreographed fight scenes. The story was well paced and kept the viewer engaged. Hwang Min Hyun deserves an award for this role. I also enjoyed Ju Yoen U's acting.
Watch if you are looking for a good story, engaging characters and great fight scenes.

A heart warming story with a happy ending
Its a nice feel good drama, this is the best way to describe it, it will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.The drama tells a story of a school rugby team that has been written off by nearly everyone a disgraced former rugby player who comes in and helps the team turn things around.
It's not a complicated or unique drama but its enjoyable. Watch if you are looking for an easy to watch semi fast paced story, where the underdog comes out on top and everyone gets what they deserve and it has a happy ending.
Definitely worth a watch even if you don't enjoy sports.

It's a decent filler
-Good story-Fantastic fight scene
-Great acting from everyone
-Its a fastpaced so its a relatively quick watch
-Story is easy to follow
Watch if you want an easy to follow story with, lot's of action, beautifully choreographed fight scenes and even better gun fights. An evil twisted genius trying to shape the world in her image, a depiction of how selfish, evil and self-serving people can be and how far they are willing to go to further their our agendas.
It really a decent watch, nothing extra ordinary just good Tv where mostly everyone gets what they deserve

I enjoyed it
An easy watch, lighthearted where it needs to be sweet where it needs to be. FL was amazing from the very beginning she pulled me in. ML I didn't have faith, but by the end of episode 2 I was sold, he is an amazing actor, dare I say the perfect male lead, I enjoyed his acting the most. First half was amazing, gets a little messy in the middle but they redeem it.Watch if you are looking for a nice fantastical story, with a good romance, little bit(of bad done) palace intrigue, but an overall happy ending, no cliffhanger, no opening ending.
It's not that deep, its fantasy, don't take it to seriously just watch and enjoy.

An awesome bunch of busy bodies
Hooked from episode 1, started with an engaging story and kept the other cases interesting. Each of the 4 main ladies bring their unique life stories and form a quick bond. I enjoyed it the acting, the smaller ones leading to the big story, very well done.Watch if you are looking for a good watch, with a beautiful sisterhood, mysteries to solve, while to dealing with everyday life and past trauma. I loved that they kept me guessing who was the bad guy, I had to follow the story to get to the bad guy. Definitely give it a try.
They teased a second season and I'm not opposed to it.

A really good show
I was skeptical going in, the beginning didn't really grab me, but by episode 3 I saw sold.It's am amazing story of loss, determination, triumph, betrayal, palace intrigue, abuse of power, history, friendship and finding love in the midst of all of that.
I know its a costume drama, but give it a try it's an amazing story and its done so well the ending is also very well done.
Watch it

It's like a hot cup of hot chocolate on a cold day
The best way I would describe it is warm and fuzzy. I really enjoyed this show, the acting was top tier everyone played their part well. The show has many themes in it, but they are done so well that they don't overwhelm the viewer.There's a smart and strong but not hardened FL, she face so much strife, hardships, abuse, rejection and just plain old unfairness but it doesn't hardened her or lessen her resolve to better herself.
There's a sisterhood that I loved (I'm a sucker for a good sisterhood). There's the friendship between the ML and FL, the development of their relationship is done exceptionally well, I was almost ok with them just remaining friends. The ML's character is written and performed so well, I hope he got an award for this role.
Then there's the palace intrigue, terrible inlaws, an indecisive ex husband (side note, Miles Wei, another amazing actor), it's really a story of resilience, friendship in my opinion.
It's a good show. Watch!!!

It was OK
First great acting all round, everyone did an amazing job. The story was ok at best, it feels like they wanted to take the viewer somewhere with the story, but I didn't get where they wanted me to go. The story didn't pull me in and hold me, maybe a different ending would have helped. Also some parts felt unfinished and some parts didn't add anything to the story, like the business partners family they felt like a filler to me.An overall OK watch Gong Yoo is always a pleasure to watch, even if the story didn't hit like I was expecting.

The show should be called three terrible mothers
Its a relatively easy watch with a typical storyline for these kinds shows. Equally interesting and frustrating.The FL, the ML, the brother in law and the aunt are such nice genuine people who don't deserves such horrible families. The FL family is actually a decent family its just the mother and in my opinion this mother is the worst of all three mother's and that is saying a lot because the ML's mother is vile. The aunts husband was probably the most disappointing character in the show I expected better from him.
Overall the show is a good watch with cheating spouse's, bad controlling mothers a love child and finding love in calamity. Watch if you want to see FL suffer and end up sick while all the villains find inner peace and forgive themselves. After waiting 100 episodes for things to get better for FL they make her sick.

I wish they make a second season, very well done
The show does an amazing job of telling a meaningful story, balanced with good humor so the stories don't overwhelm you and a cast that brings each story to life.Watch if you are looking for a light but touching story, with some good humor, a decent amount of labour law, so corrupt ceos and politicians, with a satisfying ending and good acting. Episode 10 had me crying but in a good way. Worth mentioning ML's character development was done very well.
It really is a good show although its not a new concept it was done well and a good watch.

Explosive start
Episode 1 was a great introduction. I love a good fight and they did not disappoint, loved seeing Park Bo Gum in this desheveled role. Everyone did amazingly on their role, top teir acting from everyone.Watch if you enjoy an underdog story with a hard won victory, beautifully choreographed fight scenes from almost the entire cast, police corruption and a little bit of romance. The team really fights hard for this victory and I think its a satisfying victory.
It's a really enjoyable show, and an easy watch that doesn't require too much from the viewer, just sit back and enjoy. The fight scenes alone are worth it. Honorable mention the Korean-Russian gangster Ko Jun, amazing performance.
