20 episode version is a uh decent introduction but I would really suggest you watch the original 50 episodes version…
After much consideration I'll probably watch the 50 ep one, I don't want to miss certain scenes or plot points that I'm afraid might be missing in the shorter version.
I don't think you should watch this if you're fan of the original series. This will probably feel boring and lacking in comparison. I think this misses the thrill and overall feel of the original by far. Especially Reid and Gargia aka Lee Han and Na Na, I loved both of them in the original, but in this I just found them annoying. Lee Han seemed arrogant and rude, while Reid was lovable in all his weirdness and actually gave of that genius feel. Na Na was just bland, the quirkiness of Garcia didn't seem natural at all. Though this is based on just the first episode, I'm not sure where this will go in the rest of the episodes, I'm not sure yet if I'll watch the rest.
BUT if you aren't a huge fan of the original and just like police/crime/investigation dramas, I didn't find the first episode bad at all. If the rest of the episodes follow the same line, this could be an average/decent police drama.
They have appear in a lot of variety and do lots of press conferences I have watched them and they seemed pretty…
These three are definitely charismatic. I know LDW does well in variety, I'm not that familiar with the other two, but seeing them in Amazing Saturday I think they'd make a really entertaining Knowing Bros episode. Well, let's hope...
I already know how this ends and given that and how many people criticize the story, I normally wouldn't watch this (not really a fan of historical dramas). But I'm such a huge fan of Woo Do Hwan, that I have to.
Over-dramatic directing for my taste and I prefer more slow-moving stories, but I'll keep watching because of…
lol never mind, the second episode was already a lot more smooth. The flashbacks at the start were still overly dramatic for me, but rest of the episode was a lot better. Starting to look forward to this (for more than LDW)!
And I liked that the female lead didn't go to the direction I feared, but actually apologized for her actions and acted more rational from then on. A strong but reasonable female lead is rare in kdramas, but the kind I love.
Of course Dong Wook is charming, he's still the thing keeping me interested. His character Yeon is interesting and entertaining, so it's not only Dong Wook's visual that interests me.
Aagh, it will be a long wait ; -; Hopefully he will be in many main roles after his enlistment, his acting is absolutely engrossing. Can't wait to see more of him.
Sticking out the first episodes is definitely worth it, in my opinion that's when the story finds its groove.
And about the female lead, the stalking and her self-righteous attitude about it was a major problem for me, but beyond that, I don't think she was bad at all. I thought she was actually rather smart and strong compared to how Korean dramas often portray their female leads.

It's not actually bad imo.
I've a really hard time of focusing on long lasting series and I've watched the two seasons of the animation so I know how the story goes.

Any other The Good Detective fans around? xD

Hopefully this will get over it's awkwardness after a few episodes, like many awkward-at-first shows do.
