Thought provoking work!

Makes one to give Serious Deep thoughts about Life.
Makes one to introspect n feel how blessed one is, to be happy n together with a family or loved ones at every stage of one's life, instead of getting sympathy or care from strangers.

Everytime, there is this pricking despair in my heart, whenever I remember Kotaro's lonely struggles n him trying to be mature beyond his age, trying to be disciplined with a specific individuality, trying to be happy like an adult in such a young age all alone, instead of throwing childish tantrums.
He really can't afford to be like every other child of his age :(

It really surprises me how such a little boy can live all alone!? :o , Looks unrealistic but it may happen.

****
Need to watch both the seasons.
Both the seasons are good and both the seasons are equally important to complete the story n to teach the bitter reality of Life!
(Season 1 is a bit more good :) )

All actors did well especially the Little boy n Yokoyama

Haha, Poor Spider in the end! Scissors Serial Killer !!

The Story is Good.
Great Revenge plot!
Pacing, Story Narration, Direction, Production, Cinematography, Screenplay n Editing are GOOD.

****
To be honest, am not so impressed with The CHARACTERS n the ACTING.

Am totally satisfied with character Rena, her characterisation and the acting by that actress - Everything is IMPRESSIVE!
She, with her Spooky Evil Smiles 😱, rightly acted a Psychopathic role - WELL DONE!!
Even as an Obsessive Lover, she acted very well .
Scissors Serial Killer! 😂
Liked the acting of Rena actress Only (not the other actors n characters)

FL's character is well written but the acting is little bland.
As a viewer, couldn't get the emotional connection n depth completely with the acting.

Both the actresses for the role of FL did well, especially younger actress during high school.
The adult actress while seeking revenge, in initial episodes acted well, so we, as the viewer could connect emotionally for her revenge seeking efforts but in later episodes, her acting is little bland n plain, I couldn't get that depth n connection .
Overall, not so impressed with her acting here.

ML is handsome ;)
His acting is cool.
But his characterisation could be done little better.
For eg, he knew about his wife from childhood n yet didn't stop her at any stage, not even a little effort. Also when FL has shown him the proof of poor fishes, he just claimed that as an act of stress, not psychopathic :o

Rena's dad though being a psychology professor, did nothing, not so useful character.

Husband and Rena's psychology professor dad should have taken some action long ago, in childhood itself.
That would have had stopped this psychopathic Rena n would have had reduced the damage, the harm n the number of deaths .

Also, ML should have stood beside FL when she is in need in high school, since they were lovers back then.

The infant baby is super cute.
OmG! That baby in the ending scene :o, haha got it from her mom , haha
Though being raised by a good adopted mom n though being born to a good dad, she didn't inherit their qualities :/
U can't really stop the Instincts inherited by Birth🤭
Poor Spider! :|

****
What a Dramatic Climax! 😂
There is little weird acting in this finale ep

Cool Happy Ending - Everyone got what they deserved - Rena, her dad, FL, her friend, ML and the baby, everyone included.

Poor ML, for his negligence initially with his wife, he got such an ending, I feel bad but can accept it for this story.

But I expected a Different Happy Ending like FL n handsome ML together since they were first loves to each other, with the baby :)
n Evil Wife in Jail .

**** My Little Ranting:
My Bad!
Looking at the summary, I expected KD revenge drama "The Glory" (rated 9.5/10) sort of gripping emotional revenge plot n acting, where the viewer can feel the blood boiling intense moments during bullying n also can be relaxed n be at peace, once the revenge is obtained!
Haha, I expected such a vibe here from this summary .

Anyways, this is not too bad like the other JD revenge drama "Burn the House Down" (rated 7.5/10).
There, though the plot is good, it's boring initially. Only in the later episodes, story n acting got better n interesting .
This drama is not a disappointment like that drama entirely .

Overall, this is not bad n at the same time, not super impressive, it's just a GOOD ONE TIME WATCH!
Don't watch with expectations, only then u can enjoy!

****
I really loved the run time here.
11 episodes with 20 minutes each, a total of 3.5 hours.
And so this run time allowed for the RIGHT PACING, not including any unnecessary content fillers, which is a very good positive point for the drama.

Else Rating would go further down, if content fillers are added or even if it is little dragging.

I binge watched this, along with my mom :)

****
My Rating is 8.5 / 10
Could be More, if the characters and acting is better and then, this would be one of my favourite Revenge Dramas! :)

FIRE FIRE FIRE!! THE TRIO IS FIRE (SUPERB) haha :)

I'm an ARDENT Crime Thriller fan :) n so Everything about this drama is SUPERB ✨

A Good Mix of Action + Crime Thriller (police investigation crime drama ) + Fire Rescue + Medical (Paramedic emergency service) .

***
VERY ENTERTAINING n FUNNY Action Crime Thriller with a Good Team Work, solving different cases.

Initially (to be precise, the first half of ep 1), it's a bit Slow Paced but that pacing is to form the base of the story n to introduce the characters, so, reasonable.

But later, Everything is on Fire Fire Fire!🔥
It got VERY INTERESTING.
THERE IS NO MOMENT OF BOREDOM THROUGHOUT THE DRAMA !!

***
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography n Production are WELL DONE.

Pacing is RIGHT n GOOD.

Action sequences, Fire accidents n their Rescue operations n Autopsies are WELL DEPICTED.

Story of Each Case n the Personal Stories of the Main Cast, are WELL WRITTEN n EXECUTED WELL.

Enjoyed the COMEDY in this drama alot, Very Funny n Sarcastic at times .

Funny, they concentrated on "dog breeds" throughout the drama, haha (comparing some characters with a dog /an animal).
Every character has a Nickname! :)
Jindo dog, Mutt, Polar Bear, Bulldozer etc.
(Personally, I love to give Nicknames n so found this point in the story as funny n cool 😏)

***
I was Skeptical how a Firefighter n a Paramedic will be of use or will be a major part in a Criminal Investigation
but the way, the writers included their roles with their Fire Investigations or Paramedic Emergency Services as an Important Base to the Criminal Investigation by Police Detectives in Every Case, is VERY WELL WRITTEN.

OST is Good, especially the song "Fire"

*** ACTORS & CHARACTERS:
Every actor performed their role well.

Kim Rae Won was my First Korean Hero 🥰 , watched him in "My Little Bride".
After many years, saw him now n didn't even recognize :o
Yeah, I know, Obviously he would be different here but still surprised to see my first Korean love :)

Son Ho Jun is handsome , more handsome than Rae Won ;)

ML's dad, that actor is even more handsome ;)
There is a lookalike to this actor - the actor who played Judge character, father of the gal in Teen Pregnancy case.
In one of the eps, both the actors were sitting side by side in the car, they looked like brothers in that scene n I was confused to identify :o

***
Loved the point that both the Male Leads (Jin Ho Gae n Bong Do Jin) have Equal Importance in S1.

Both are Cold Faced, stubborn but Sweet at Heart.
Both have the same Tsundere personalities n yet so different.
One (Jin) is funny n sarcastic, while the Other (Bong) is Calm.
At the times of Emergency, One (Jin) jumps right into the scene without second thoughts, ignoring the consequences, while the Other (Bong) stays Composed, considering every consequence n plans accordingly.

Loved both the guys n their ways of dealing a case :)
Both their ways include Meticulous analysis, taking bold step in an emergency n are stubborn n dedicated to the case till they find out the truth!

Loved their interactions, mostly sarcastic n so, very funny, haha
or cute lil fights like Rivals all the time but when one is in trouble, the other will be the first to observe, respond n clear that trouble :)
And so, the rapport n the bromance of Jin n Bong is Very Sweet !

Sad, S1 came to an end by the time there is a great development in their bromance :(
They should have explored more of their Joint Investigation n bromance.

Jin is funny, very Crazy, stubborn but intelligent, dedicated to his Investigation n justice oriented .
He is fierce, bold n arrogant but is very quick to grasp the mentality of the criminal n has a strong will to save the victims .

Liked character Bong :), the dedication, how he runs all the tests in his range to give a complete fire report that helps, not only in the fire investigation but also in the criminal investigation. I appreciate his efforts.
Bong is cold but kind to people.
He is like "Speak Less, Work More, that too, in an intelligent n smart way!" :)
In the entire drama, saw him smiling only in the last two episodes, haha, Cute!

(Jin is like the Close Friend we love to have, While Bong is like the Husband we want! Haha 😏
Loved watching these guys :) )

Loved Song, She is empathetic n sweet, while saving people.
She played a bridge in this Trio, to develop the friendship :)

Loved their Friendships n Team Work - The Trio n Pil :)

Pil is a partner in investigation to Jin. Whenever Jin is in trouble, Pil worries a lot, more than Jin, haha he is sweet n funny :)

When it is revealed that Bong n Anna are siblings in one of the cases, not only Jin, even I was surprised , haha

*** ROMANCE IN A CRIME THRILLER? :o :
Should have left the Trio Jin - Song - Bong as just Friends n as different department personnel cooperating with each other in cases, instead of a hint of romance n a Love triangle .

Romance in Action Crime thriller, to some extent, is Ok
but a Love Triangle, totally spoils the mood. Even a subtle hint of it, is a NO, God! :|

If I have to choose, I would root for Bong n Song ;)
Bcz Bong remembers every minute detail about her, knows about her sad past, for which she worries sometimes n so takes care of her very well,
While Jin has a soft corner for his saviour Song but pushes her away, most of the times.
And Sad! She does the same with Bong - pushes him away, Oh my Poor Bong Do Jin ah! :(

Bong's jealousy when he sees a cute moment of Jin n Song, is cute but very sad. Oh my Bong Do Jin ah! :(

Meanwhile, NFS lady flirts with Bong, making this into a Love square, haha.

***
My Ranting:
Give JinSong or BongSong or Bong with NFS lady clearly but not a love triangle or squares.
This is a Thriller, not rom-com .

I don't like Love Triangles or Squares in Romance genre itself, imagine my frustration watching such in Thrillers 😂
"Pure Thriller" (without Romance) is chosen by an "Exclusive Thriller genre" fan for a reason, pls :|

*** CASES:
The Cases are DIVERSE dealing with a Variety of Crimes, around, 1 CASE Per EPISODE.

Cases are Interesting n Gripping.
But some of them are not so complicated or twisted that require extra intelligence to solve or understand
(Just a comparison, "Partners for Justice" drama has a great twist n a complication in every case, that U don't find it here).

All Fire crimes n Non-Fire crimes are given equal importance n are intertwined.

**
1st case: Psycho kidnapper kidnapped a gal.

Opening scenes of the drama itself are funny - that slap by Jin n his explanation in his disciplinary meeting , haha.

In this case, Jin's interactions with the kidnapper n the way he handled him is very smart n funny.

Crazy!! Jin, like his name Jindo dog, really bit the kidnapper, OmG! :o haha.

He got a nice house warming gift / welcome party from his floor mates Bong n Song - the story about his haunted flat, haha.

**
2nd case: School gal Suicide / murder

Firefighter Bong's body cam videos are crucial in the initial investigation
n from those, Jin found out that it's a murder, not a suicide.

**
3rd case: Ghost in Jin's flat

Very funny n he solved this in a smart way
Jin n Bong act like Rivals but helped each other in the case, haha.. cute bromance :)
A case of Lover's spat gone wrong.

**
4th case: Lil gal's hit n run

This is solved in a smart way, lot of surprises in the case.
The culprit(s) is a total surprise here.
Insurance fraud case.

**
5th case: Anna n University researchers' rescue

This is one of the major cases here.
Well Written.
Nail-biting with lot of Suspense.
The Trio n their teams worked hard to solve this n save everyone.
That Sting operation by Jin is bold n risky.
Anna did so well here.
The Team work is marvellous.

**
6th case: Jin's arrest

This is one of the major cases here.
Well Written.
Jin is framed in a murder by the villain.
Entire episode is very interesting to watch, how they created Evidences against him etc

The way Bong helped in this investigation to clear the name of Jin n save him, with his tests, fire investigations as evidences, is very good.

Everyone - Pil, Bong, Song, NFS lady, Anna n Jin himself, everyone helped Jin to clear his name.

**
7th case: Murder of a lady by the Villain

This is one of the major cases here.
Well written.
Very funny episode.
That drug guy is funny.
Bong's investigation is also useful to Jin in this case, their interactions are cool here.

**
8th case: Teen Pregnancy of a gal

This is one of the major cases here.
So many Twists in her story.
Suspected Everyone 🤭 - every guy involved in this case, every guy around the gal, right from her classmates, friends, teachers, even her own sibling :|

Bong's body cam video is useful in this case for the criminal investigation by Jin.

Pressure from the parents regarding studies led to the worst side of the teen students.
Very sad that the stress led the kids to grow with twisted stubborn personalities n going to any extent to defame their parents by placing themselves into dangerous situations n losing their own lives, pride n respect in the society :|

**
9th case: Drunk guy assaulted ex gf.

This case made Jin to undergo disciplinary review.

**
10th case: 7 years cold case - the Missing Gal's case in which Jin is the prime suspect back then.

This is one of the major cases here.
Very emotional one.
Bong tried to collect clues about this case since Jin is still worrying n down with guilt for not helping that lil gal from past 7 years.

The culprit in this case is a total surprise.

This case ending (location of the gal) is a crazy n shocking surprise! 🤯
Reminded me of the crazy surprise twist of KD "Beyond Evil" ML's sister case :|

**
11th case: Serial Arsonist

Like serial killers, a serial arsonist is dangerous n started fire at 3-4 locations (almost 5 fire accidents) n so this episode, this case is tiring to watch seeing the firefighters tensed n running here n there.
(Looks like a firefighter, in specific Bong is targeted :/ )
Here the childhood incident of Bong is shown, which is sad n that incident led him to be dedicated to his job n save everyone.

This case is left halfway n unresolved n
S1 ended with both the male leads caught in the fire explosions n stuck🤯
So need to watch S2, to know whether they are alive or no n what happened to them :o

*** ENDING:
What is this with all these dramas, "Kingdom", "Partners for Justice" n now this? :o

Now, I understand the Pain of the Viewers back then, who had waited for an year for S2 :( 😂

All these dramas' S1 ended with a cliffhanger or a case left halfway or unresolved :o

***
My RATING is 9.5 / 10 .

All Thriller, Mystery genre Lovers must watch this !
And should recommend this to fellow crime thriller admirers :)

Thank you for reading my lengthy review :)

TRUE PARTNERS FOR JUSTICE !! (Not just the main leads but the entire team)

Dr. BB (ML) : "Don't write ur own Fiction!"
(My fav line in the drama :) )
But the Writers of this drama wrote an AWESOME FICTION!! ✨

One of the BEST Forensic Medical Crime Dramas!!
:)

Initially (1 or 2 episodes in the beginning), the plot n the cases look mediocre, very plain n routine - pacing is right, not slow but the plot or cases look too simple, also at times, FL n 2nd ML are a bit irritating, Some may find it difficult to continue watching.

But from around ep 3, as the story n the episodes progress, the seriousness of the cases, the way they are dealt or the personal stories of the characters, everything shoots up and is RIGHT TO THE POINT.
Later, there is No Moment of Boredom or NO Scene for the sake of Content Filler, which drag the Pacing down or disturb the Smooth Flow of the story.
It's VERY INTERESTING n GRIPPING till the end.

Later on, Direction, Editing and the Pacing, Everything is done RIGHT!
The mild Comedy n the Team Work is fun to watch.
Forensic Visuals of the Autopsy are AMAZING!

Every Case is Interesting with Unexpected Twists and Serious enough with a Depth.

THE INTERTWINING OF THE CASES WITH THE PERSONAL EMOTIONAL TRACKS OF EACH CHARACTER IS WELL WRITTEN.

ML - Dr.BB's character n the Cases are written in a Very Intelligent, Logical n Gripping manner.

**** CHARACTERS:

All characters are well written n Lovable!
All the actors did act their roles well.

FL's assistants (Dong sik n Mi Ho) n police detective Soo Ho are a Very Funny team .
Their Disguises to track criminals are funny :)

Soo Ho's RINGTONE of Dr.BB' s "Thank You" is funny ;)
(Actor Yi Kyung is handsome.
His role is sweet n funny, persuading lovely gal Stella )

The initial episodes are Funny:
All are pampering FL, except ML 😂

** FL:
Intro of FL is sweet.
But she is annoying in ep 1, saying it's just her hunch n arguing stubbornly without any evidence.
That court room scene in ep 1, It looked as though she wants to frame the guy as the murderer, just bcz of her gut feeling :o

But by ep 2, Good that she changed n focused more on collecting evidences for her hunch! ;)
She learnt that emotional empathy for the victim is good but it needs evidence .
N so from then, I LIKED HER DEDICATION TO BRING JUSTICE :)

(Ep 1) She loves TV crime dramas but doesn't she know to wear gloves in a crime scene etc, atleast from those? 😂
(Leave about a prosecutor knowing that basic point)

Initially she is so sensitive. Makes a scene n needs a saviour everytime!
Later She really improved herself n I love that character arc of her.

** ML (Dr.BB) :
His character is the MOST INTERESTING one.
Though looks Rude n not so social, his DEDICATION to his job, his EXTREME EFFORTS, his BIZARRE ways of deducting the truth from bodies, his stubborness/ insistence to study Every Minute Detail from the subject on the table, how small it might be, his hard work fighting against everyone to get every point in the autopsy report Perfect n to Bring Out The Truth n thereby Justice, everything is VERY GOOD about him.

"Past Trauma turned a warm, lively guy into a Zombie like depressed personality" trope is understandable n reasonable .

(At times, his role reminded me of forensic examiner Nakado Kei from JDrama medical series "UNNATURAL" :) )

The way ML is able to see through his case subjects in an autopsy with his Extensive Knowledge n pinpoint every detail, which are usually missed by other examiners/prosecutors, is very Smart n written in a very intelligent n gripping manner!
Those minor details blow up, set an unexpected turn in the investigation n speed up the case a lot, thereby helping to catch the True Culprit.
THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING PART OF EVERY CASE THAT I REALLY LOVED.

Dr.BB is COOL! 😎

I felt a Huge Relief whenever I get to see him working on a case, especially in difficult cases, where the other examiners couldn't find any clue making the investigation get stuck (n be at peace, that he will solve the case for sure n at any cost, logically with evidences :) )

I like the philosophical conversations of ML n FL, though very few.
Only FL can see through his "Zombie mask"

ML n FL are so DIFFERENT in their ways (One focuses on EVIDENCE - only from the Dead as Living might Lie n Another on EMOTIONS)
n yet so SAME (One seeks to bring out the TRUTH n Another wants to bring JUSTICE).
TRUE PARTNERS FOR JUSTICE !!

** Second ML:
(Actor Eun Seok is handsome ;) )
Initially Sweet, Cute, Smart -> Annoying
It happened very quickly, haha

OmG, He really made a "Scene"!
At one point, am so annoyed seeing him, abusing his power for personal grudges, I just wanted to Fire him from his prosecutor role myself, haha
Good, he took responsibility for his annoying actions.
Finally, forgiven by me, the viewer! ;)

**** CASES:

Than the mild romance (though this turned out to be more of Friendship or care towards the end, be it between FL n ML or 2nd ML), I loved the Cases, including the personal cases of the characters (it's interesting how detective Soo Ho n Dr.BB are suspected and cleared)

(Around TWO EPISODES per ONE CASE, in the 16 episode format n so around 9 cases, in total )

Each Case may look mediocre or plain initially but as the case progresses, it is written so well with a lot of unexpected Twists and Depth.

All the CASES are DIVERSE.
They covered many types of criminal cases in this season.
Murder Cases / crime related to:
Domestic violence,
Faking one's death n framing another,
Infidelity n Inheritance legal issues,
Suspicion in a relationship,
Probable virus attack n lockdown,
Past crime involving Revenge Seeking n Blackmail,
School bullying n the mental stress due to education,
Family Insurance crime,
Psychopathic Serial killing
n Rich abusing the poor etc

The joint investigation, bringing two prosecutor teams, two forensic medical examiner teams, retired police detective team n present police detective team, everyone together for the serial killer case is fun to watch.

OST opening instrumental music suits well to the mood of the drama n BGM too .
(The same Composer as that of KDrama "Through the Darkness")

Initially a bit rough, as said above n so my rating is 9.5 / 10
Except that, I don't find any other flaw, definitely a 10 / 10 drama! ✨

(Just finished S1.

That Cliff hanger ending!? 🤯
That too, left in the middle of a case?, Ehhh!? :O

OmG, I can imagine the Pain, who waited for an year for S2 back then! ;) )

The BEST!! 10/10. WATCH THIS AT MIDNIGHT OR LATER ONLY, haha

(Oops, a Lengthy Review :) )

Usually, Thai Horrors are Good but THIS ONE PROVED TO BE THE BEST!
No doubt, it's 10 / 10 ✨, since I don't find any drawbacks with this series.
n I love to RECOMMEND this to every Horror genre lover!
(This is the first time, I rated a pure horror - 10/10 :) )

TRULY SCARY!
WATCH THIS AT MIDNIGHT OR LATER ONLY! Haha
If possible, ALONE, for the true horror experience.
(I watched all these at 2-3 AM for the true scary vibe 😂)

***
This Series is an Anthology of Short Horror stories.
1 Horror story per episode.

For all Episodes, Plot (Story, Story Narration & Screenplay), Direction (+ Editing & Cinematography), Suspense, the Horror element, Music and Acting, EVERYTHING IS IN THE RIGHT QUANTITY HERE!
Nothing More or Nothing Less!!
(Another interesting one from GMM production :) )

All have this SPOOKY VIBE n EERIE MUSIC (BGM) that suited well to the mood of the stories.

Pacing, Suspense and Run Time of each story (episode), EVERYTHING IS RIGHT TO THE POINT!

***
Tone of the horror n suspense is Serious (first 6 eps), Last two are Comedy.

Also, It's a proper mix of Super scary Serious horror, Mild horror, Emotional horror n horror Comedy stories.
In other words, this anthology miniseries covered all types of Horrors.

***
Watching this series -- the callers calling the RJ n sharing their horror experiences, will make U get exactly the same vibe of a group of friends sitting together n sharing ghost stories at midnight, just for fun n to pass the time, haha
(I did so, with my cousins in my childhood. Whether the ghost stories are believable or no, it was fun to listen n getting scared together for no reason! 😂)

***
Good to see some known actors in this series.

OmG, Tay Tawan is here :)
Our funny Tay is a scary one here n these roles (ghastly or villain) too, suit him well :)

The main RJ actor is the most hilarious one. I loved his character.

***** EPISODES / STORIES:

1) GRANNY'S YOUNG FEMALE CARETAKER :
Super Scary to watch at night n Interesting


2) TWO FRIENDS WORKING IN A RADIO STATION IN COUNTRYSIDE :
Super Scary to watch at night,
Very Interesting,
The lil Twist at the end is Good but a Very Sad one :(


3) LOVER'S SPAT, LOVE TRIANGLE :
Lesbian couple.
Not Scary,
Good.
Ending is Good.
(Here the director is funny - made the screen Black for gals' intimate scene, with audio on but not for that of the gal n guy. This is an unnecessary attention. Block everything, every intimate scene, haha)


4) COUPLE IN A HOUSE, HAUNTED BY A TRADITIONAL DANCER :
Not Scary,
Interesting,
Ending is Very Good - that evil smirk of the husband 😱


5) LITTLE GAL'S IMAGINARY FRIEND :
Not Scary,
Very Good.
Poor lil gal!
Haha, that friend "pik pik".
OmG, that Ending again :o , that horrified look on lil gal's face! 🤯


6) LOVER BOY IN A HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET :
Spooky,
Not Scary.
That ending gave a new view to the entire episode n so made the entire episode look Scary

Tay n FL - their chemistry is very good. She is very sweet n pretty .

RJ to the gal: "U almost made a ghost, your husband, Be careful" 😂


7) HAUNTED HOSPITAL :
Super Funny n ghastly,
Emotional at the end.
That actor is from Horror Comedy "Pee Mak" .

At the end of this ep, RJ's personal horror experience track is Super Scary n Hilarious .


8) GHOST ROOMMATE & RJ's HORROR :
This ep has two stories, one is about a caller - Not Scary, but Funny.

Another is the RJ's own Horror experience - this is Super Scary, Hilarious n Sad.

This RJ's is a Surprising n Unexpected blend to the stories, bringing everything together n giving a SMOOTH ENDING to the entire anthology series.

The way how all of the above ghost stories and RJ's, connect to each other, is Well Written, that too in a hilarious way✨

***
I NEED A SEASON 2 of this series, with the same RJ actor n with the same level of Scary / Funny Ghost stories, directed and executed this well.

There's a SEQUEL, a standalone Anthology series - " Terror Tuesday: Extreme" but that is not so scary as this n not executed this well.

This prequel is 10/10 & that Sequel is 8/10.

***
Horror genre lovers, don't miss to watch this series.

My 10/10 CRIME DRAMA! MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE !! :)

AWESOME Crime Drama!
My 10/10 drama!✨
Everything about this drama is just WOW!!

I'm an ARDENT LOVER of Mystery / Detective / Suspense / Crime Thrillers n an obsessive fan of Sherlock Holmes n Agatha Christie :)
This has brought back the same vibe and warmth of watching my beloved Sherlock - Watson duo or Agatha's works :)

Watched it 5 years ago (in 2020, when it was released) and it's still MY ALL TIME FAV in this genre! :)

****
Very Lovely n Fun To Watch both the boys as Partners in Investigation, just like our Sherlock - Watson duo! :)

Usually, any drama with 12+ eps with 1 hour duration, scares me lil, for the time to be spent on it.
And CDramas are known to have 36+ eps, haha
But this is my first n Only CDrama for which I want more eps n more cases :)

****
Direction is VERY GOOD.
Cinematography is SUPERB.
Production is GOOD.
Pacing n Screenplay are RIGHT TO THE POINT.
Costumes are so lovely for the time period this drama is set in.
OST is AMAZING!

EVERY CASE (One per Episode), the Storyline of each Case is very Interesting, Gripping n ENTHRALLING!

**** CHARACTERS / ACTING:
Leon Zhang from Mr. Pride vs Miss Prejudice, the variations in his acting, here n there, are Impressive.

Same goes with Hu Yi Tian - watched this after CD "A Love so Beautiful".
OmG, those variations in his roles n in his acting, here and there, are Surprising and Impressive.
There, he never smiles or talks n here, he never stops talking or being silly, haha .

Both the actors are handsome ;)

I Love their roles here a lot, their Duo and their hidden Romance, Oops BROMANCE 🤭

*** The Male Leads' DUO:
One uses intelligence n the other uses Physical Strength.
One is Serious n the other is Silly, haha.

Liked the Bromance between both the male main leads (more than that of FL n ML 😂)

The guys' characters are more important here than the FL.

More than FL n ML, both the guys have good friendship with emotions/ emotional connection, during crime investigations.

*** THE TRIO:
Leaving romance n bromance, all Three are Partners in Investigation n she is just a third wheel, a chaotic burden even in their investigation 😂

She is a roommate to the ML, so that rapport /friendship is cool.
The other ML treats her as a sibling, that bond is cute :)

**** MY RANTING ABOUT FL:
To be honest, our boys have amazing chemistry (bromance) with each other n ML has absolutely Zero Chemistry with FL.

Maybe she is just an AUXILIARY ROLE turned MAIN LEAD, written in the last moment or after many revisions and discussions of the story, to avoid censorship 😂

And her character Screams alot - IRRITATING!

She pokes herself in, between them, whether in their Investigations or in their bromance, haha
Also during investigations, they have to protect her too, so she is just a burden 😂

And so She is invisible to me, I concentrated only on the duo .
I skip her character in my imaginations! :)

I expected the ending to be something else with the guys (Oops, like the guys continuing their partnership in investigation n working on many more cases) but she came in between them there too, hehe .

I didn't like the FORCED CHEMISTRY between FL n ML, which is present only towards the end of the drama..

Spoilt the charisma of the drama with her character, should have cut her role completely :/
And should have concentrated only on the Male Leads as JUST Partners in Investigation without any bromance .
(Bcz Heavy bromance or anything beyond, brings censorship issues n so they made a dummy FL role with forced romance in the last moment !? )

Go ahead n Watch it, U'll understand what I say about her.

***** SPOILER *****
That ENDING, OMG! A shock to me !
Wedding? :O
Uff, I didn't see that coming n I despise it to the core :/
(Usually, if there is a wedding n a happy ending, it's a happy news to the viewers but here for the first time, didn't like it, haha)

Happy Ending for the FL n looked like a forced ending for the one of the Male Main Leads
Poor he!

So, Not a satisfactory ending for the guys n us, the viewers 🤭

Zero Chemistry between ML n FL, Forced Romance that is Rushed in the last moment of the last episode, Gave a vibe of a Forced Marriage ;)
And so, Not a smooth closure to the drama:|
Spoilt the ending too :/

If they would like to show a wedding in the climax, they should have built Romance between him n her from the beginning of the drama, instead of including the track in the last moment, out of the blue

Me to the Writer n Director:
Leave my boys alone!! 😣
Don't give any romance or bromance among the 3 characters, just leave them as Partners in Investigation, especially the boys together.
Let them concentrate on Cases alone and not on Love , Marriage, kids etc, haha
Give a Pure Thriller without Romance or a Thriller with Proper Romance, not this unclear love track, killing the mood n the vibe of an interesting thriller.

****
Crime Genre Lovers, Don't miss to watch this bcz of "Love / romance" which is secondary here.
This is a wonderful Crime Thriller, just like our Sherlock -Watson :)

Mini Version of Cherry Magic!?

This is like a Mini version of "Cherry Magic" drama , haha :)
(Not the fantasy plot element of Cherry magic but the way how a love story developed)

Yamato - Kakeru are like Teenage version (coming-of-age) of Kurosawa- Adachi 😂 :)

Initially a bit casual but as the story progresses, it's so adorable n fluffy, just like our beloved drama "Cherry Magic" .

One of my favs now :)

Well directed, simple story but well written, well acted .
screenplay, dialogues, everything is good.

Piano BGMs are so good .

(DON'T MIND THE LOW RATINGS, JUST WATCH IT n u'll definitely love it! )

BTW, my rating is 9.5 :)

7 IN 1, THE BEST!!

The BEST of Jisung's Dramas! ✨
7 variations in acting for 7 personalities 👌🏻
All his 7 personalities are well written n very well performed by Jisung.
U can clearly see the difference in his acting for 7 characters 👌🏻

Yo Na calling out "Oppaaa" is very funny.

Loved baby gal Yo Na n Perry Park a lot :)

Cha do hyun is the lover boy, we want!
Shin se gi is the bad boy, we drool for!!

****
At times, it's just repetitive or a Content filler, prolonging the no. of eps mindlessly but
Overall, THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE
(Enjoyable, all bcz of Jisung :) )

OST is Good .
Direction, Production, Acting, everything is Good and written well except the minor discomfort about the Main Leads' relationships, throughout the drama - half siblings, adopted siblings in love !? :o

Could have wrapped up well in 15-16 eps, instead of 20 :/
(That content filler repetitions KILLED ME, this OST HEALED ME! 😂)

**** HEAVY SPOILER:
This might be the TWIST in the story n so can't be revealed.
But to be clear n warn the discomfort with the relationships of ML, FL n FL, 2nd ML, the TWIST has to be revealed here. Oops, Sorry!

Throughout the series, there's a mystery n suspense continued that looked like ML n FL are either half siblings or step siblings n only in the last episodes, it is made clear that they are not Either!

Also FL is adopted n grown up with 2nd ML as his sibling. So adopted siblings' romance is also not acceptable (even if it's one sided from him :/ )

So Both the tracks make the viewer lose interest heavily! :(
But continued to watch all bcz of Jisung n his 7 characters n loved this drama only bcz of his characters, ignoring the romance tracks.

****
My Rating - 9.5 / 10 , only for Ji Sung n his good performance in 7 roles .

Cute KuroAda's spin off and hilarious Rokkaku's!

KuroAda's spin off:

Anything about Kurosawa (Keita) - Adachi, I'm in!! :)

That one lil sweet moment of theirs on Valentine's day, is not to be missed :)

Even if it is just an exchange of Smiles, especially in Office/public
or Kurosawa calling Adachi's name (I can literally hear n drool over Keita softly saying "Adachi" 🤤)
or Kurosawa giving cute lil glances with lots of love in his eyes to Adachi,
I just don't want to miss any of those sparkles/ eye smiles of Kurosawa! :)

(I'm that obsessed with Keita as Kurosawa, haha )

***
Rokkaku's spin off:

Haha, Rokkaku is one naive cute lil pup and our Kurosawa san is jealous of that lil pup too.

I just want another spin off or just one scene of Rokkaku knowing about his "Seniors, working together to bring the best out of him" dating😂
His reaction would be the usual Japanese weird jump scares sort of hilarious one with a big "Ehhhh" / "Eyyy" , haha

I WANT MY OWN KUROSAWA YUICHI !!

A REVIEW or a COMMENT or an Opinion is not needed, just Watch it, it's that Lovely n heart warming :)

IT'S JUST WOW!! :)

I WANT MY OWN KUROSAWA YUICHI !! 💕🤤

Keita Machida is the BEST as Kurosawa!
Everything about him in this is just wow. He just brought life to the character!

My all time fav, 10/10 for Live action drama..

Don't miss the Anime and Thai version too.
Whatever this has not covered from KuroAda's magical story, above two adaptations covered.

Currently reading the Ongoing Manga, found that this JD live action drama, Anime and Thai version TOGETHER covered everything from the manga.

*******
My fav scene in the drama:

Tsuge at Adachi's doorstep.

Kurosawa sees Tsuge holding Adachi n the immediate jealous n anxious reaction of his: "Ehhh?"

Thn Adachi sees Kurosawa: "Ehhh?"

Tsuge: "Ehhh?"

Adachi realises that Kurosawa misunderstood them: "Ehhh?", "Ehhh?", "Ehhh?"

Pure comedy! Sweet jealousy of Kurosawa :)
I love this iconic "Ehhh?", "Ehhh?" Scene , haha

SIMPLY SUPERB! A 9+/10 drama!

An Amazing Crime Thriller!✨

A STORY OF SIX PEOPLE:
6 Strangers with Different Backgrounds,
6 Individual Stories,
How they Meet,
How they are Connected to Each Other,
How their Lives Intertwine,
How Everyone is related to One Major Incident,
How One Incident leads to Another, Connecting all 6 and Changes their lives,
How One Person's Actions have Dangerous Consequences leading to the Destruction n Changing the Fate of others,
How one Mistake is carried forward, leading to another n even more bigger mistakes effecting everyone,
Who is good n who is bad,
Who is a sinner n who is a victim
& finally, Is their Meeting Accidental, just a Coincidence or Planned or Destined?

***** STORY:
The Story is Simple but the Storytelling n the Non-Chronological Narration creates that TWISTED MYSTERY n so, makes this AWESOME.

U can see concepts like Butterfly Effect n Domino Effect in this plot.

***
I like Themes and concepts of Destiny / Fate / Karma.
U can't really fight against it.
It's like fighting against an "Invisible Ultimate Force"!

KARMA is Real! 🔥
And its "Hunting" is Real, here in the story, even after 20 years😂.
No one can ever escape from it.

***
As shown in the MV of the Opening theme, the "Threads" (Threads of Sins) are passed from one to another in each episode 😂
Those TWISTS n TURNS in the Plot are Cool.

All of them are like Knots of a Single Long Thread.
In the end, Karma pulled out all those knots, giving everyone what they deserve n punishing the sinners.

***** EPISODES:
6 eps - Short, Crisp n Right to the point.

First 3 to 3.5 eps show Non Linear events narrated in a Non chronological order.
Individual stories of all characters are shown n how they are centred around one major incident.

Last three eps show events in a chronological order with a linear narration.

***
Initially, the Mystery n the consequences of every action of each character is ENTHRALLING n looks like all those happened by chance, just a coincidence.

Only later, it is revealed that few characters met, not by chance (like the characters revolving around the murder case)

***
Also, in the first 3 eps, New Characters n New Scenarios are introduced in each episode. All new individual stories introduced in these eps are all related to the same incident.
So different timelines are shown here.

From half of ep 3, the connecting dots of the Main Story - the connection among all characters is revealed, merging all timelines into one Main Storyline.

*****
Cinematography is Neat n Good.
Production is Good.
Direction, Screenplay n Editing are Very Good.
Very Well Written.

The Main Plot and individual stories are Written Well
But the Screenplay is even more better written in an intelligent manner to confuse the viewers with the timelines n the mystery :)

Pacing is lil slow at times but it didn't effect the Story Progression.
Overall, it's Good n Right to the point.

***** ACTORS / CHARACTERS:
Every Actor performed very well, can't really choose a fav character here.

Oo aa, Hae Soo's TWIST, those variations in his character are Wow!
Hae Soo's Eyewitness is the Destiny's harsh victim!
Poor him!! 😂
But he got those troubles n punishment all by himself with his sins.

His decision about Identity n the related track is the concept "butterfly effect".
While the other characters' actions explain the "domino effect".

Hee Joon's Debtor, he looks scary n silly at the same time..
Hee Joon suits well to bad guy roles.

Doc lady, whatever happened to her in the past n her trauma are very sad :(

Kwang Soo's Glasses looked very naive n innocent with the gal, trying to pamper her in first eps but later revealed that he is cheating on his pregnant wife, so he deserves that punishment .

Sung Kyun, I can't take him serious after "The Fiery Priest", Even his serious thug face here, looks funny to my eyes, haha.

My sweet gal "Song" from "The First Responders" is a bad gal here!? :o, Cool .

Nam Gil is a sweet surprise to me! 🥰
(Have no idea that he is in this drama)

Special mention:
"Harmless" Agency🤭, harmless to everyone, is cool.

***** ENDING:
In the end, Karma "hunted" down every character (every knot in the thread, every connecting dot in the game) and pulled out all their threads , haha.

Every character has its own share, good / bad n got what they deserved in the end.

Ending is Satisfactory!

*****
Opening instrumental theme is very apt to the Mystery setting of the drama.

*****
My RATING is 9 / 10
Lil slow paced at times, else would be 9.5 or 10.

Crime Thriller Genre Lovers, DON'T MISS TO WATCH THIS!
