Loved it!

October 2025
This drama was SO good! KDM is fab in it, as is SSK, and I actually loved their chemistry, which surprised me for some reason.

The character of Yu I-na, is both strong, and yet fragile, at the same time. She is unique, clever, infuriating, troubled and utterly likeable. I thought KDM captured her perfectly.

Kim Han-saem is a traditional, dedicated, tenacious, and principled detective. He has always believed that Yu I-na was responsible for the death of her ex-cop Uncle.... so when, as a profiler, she ends up working with him, he isn't impressed, to say the least.
Thankfully, she is very single-minded in that respect, and disarmingly frank, so he slowly gets beaten down.

Together they begin to unearth truths that lead to some shocking discoveries.

I was totally grabbed by this. I loved the acting, characters, writing, pace and plot. The episodes flew by and there's a lot of story, which didn't feel compromised by the relatively few episodes.

Any shortcomings, I honestly didn't care about.

I kept changing my mind about who the baddie was, too... it never felt obvious!

I SO hope there will be a S2.
A favourite of this year, for sure.
