Comedy and mystery well done
Things I adored
1 The relationship between the characters. All he characters. Those of Minamdang Cafe, those of the police station and the relationship between the two teams. It's rare I enjoy that kind of relationship so much. it was fun but also heartwarming. Kudos to all the actors and the director.
2 The ML actor. I've only seen him in another drama where his role wasn't interesting to me, although I liked the dram quite a bit. The problem is that he didn't have much to do there while here he was everywhere. It felt like he had fun playing the part and it showed. He was over the top of course in some scenes but when you know it's done on purpose you enjoy it. He was perfect in the shaman role but he was even better when he grieved his friend. I had tears well every time. In short, I loved the character and I loved the actor.. It was well done.
3 The ML's sister. What a charming actress and what a fun character. She also did a great job. I would love to have her as sister or friend. She was fearless, smart and funny. What else to ask? I even check other dramas with her. Not to say I loved her hair. Finally something different.
4 The policeman Jang Du Jin. At first I thought he was a suspicious character but it only lasted an episode. He was a great character, one of my favorites and the actor did a wonderful job. I loved his relationship with everyone in the precinct and the ML. He was a decent human and humble human being who was there for everyone. I'd love to see the actor again.
5 The FL. I'm not sure why people disliked her. I loved her in this role. She was good at everything. As a grieving sister she had me in tears more than once. As the enemy of the ML, she was funny and I couldn't wait for their next interaction. As a policewoman, she was fearless and great in the action scenes. As a colleague respectful and fair. Her character was perfect for me. I can't find her any fault so I'm not sure what the issue us. She was ready to apologize when she did wrong and she was a good person with a big heart who cared about people. Once the misunderstanding with the Ml was resolved she did her mea culpa and was a real partner to him. So again, no clue what was the problem. Is it the actress rather than the character? Maybe. I found her gorgeous and a good actress so again to me she was perfect here. I'm about to start watching her other dramas by the way. Also although the romance wasn't a big part of the series, she had a great chemistry with the ML. Honestly, I'd love to see a second season with them a couple now.
Things I loved
1 I loved the FL's brother and everything that had to do with him. Like the relationship between the Ml and him, his sister and him. It was a compelling arc and well done. We wanted to get justice for him. The actor didn't have much to do but he did a good job also.
2 The young assistant. He didn't have as big a part as other but he was great in it and I loved how close he was with everyone in the team and how he cared about them and they cared about him. The actors was charming and I hope he has a great career.
3 The other policemen. I loved them equally. They were great actors and great friends and colleagues.
4 Lee Ji Eun and her partner. They did a good job as characters and they approved a comedic relief that was welcomed every time. I'm glad we saw what the future would be for them in the last episode. She was fun and I'd also like to see the actress again.
5 The actor who played the main villain did a fabulous job. It worked so well for me because he was natural. He did an excellent job as the friend, supporter of the FL, as a prosecutor. He was conniving and it was believable that no one suspected him. he didn't do anything over the top and it was chilly because it could be our neighbor and we'd never suspect anything. I think they chose the right actor for the role. So although I hated his character, the actor did a fabulous job.
6 I loved the scenes with the FL and her hair going crazy as she was about to attack a villain. it was great comedy, and it made me laugh every time. A small detail, but the small details matter to me and here there were quite a few things like that. I loved the way the shamans used their hand fan, the way the sister of the FL grumbled about things and so on.
7 The chef of the police. Spineless, yes, but also funny. I loved the relationship with Jang Du Jin and how he came along in the end and I loved the last scene with him.
8 The plot itself. It was well done and well executed. Comedic with so many heartwarming moments and a decent intrigue that even if you suspected the culprit, you wanted to continue to see how it'll all come down in the end. I went in the hunt of spoilers and knew the culprit by episode 3 but it didn't take away from my enjoyment. The opposite actually, because i knew it was more rewarding watching it and see how it was crafted. How the relationships evolved, how he played with them. Good job.
Things I disliked
1 Kong Su Cheol. It's probably not fair since he was a loveable character, but he was the weak link for me. I didn't like the over the top comedic beats with him. There were more than I loved. Yes, he was a great friend and boyfriend, but although the ML did a great job with his comedic moments, it felt like he overdid it. But that's just my opinion, I'm sure others will love him. I did love his action scenes though. he was great and I loved that his character had this ability. It was great to watch him in these scenes as it was great to see how much he loved and supported the ML.
2 The lack of kisses between the main leads. There was one kiss I think and it was great so kudos to both actors, but what the heck? We went through a roller coaster of emotions we could at least have a few more cuddles and kisses.
Things I hated
1 Of course I hated all the villains and there were no shortage of them, but the one I hated most for some reason is Cha Seung Won the brother of the main villain. What the hell was wrong with him? I hated every scene he appeared and I wish I'd seen him suffer for his actions to the eternity and beyond, Terrorize his employees with no reason is one form of torture I hate more than anything and Kdramas are full of this and it's the thing I hate the most I think. How they show that like it's normal and any human being would accept it.
2 The main villain of course. But and there's a big nuance here, although I hated him as character and I don't subscribe at all at his distorted logic of why killing people is justified, I have to say that the actor did a great job and the character was well done. It's rare I say that and put a villain in two categories. I gather it never happened before actually. So the character had no excuse no matter what happened in the past since he never repented and was proud of what he did. Not to mention the cat and mouse game he played with the FL and the others.
3 The female shaman Aunt Lin. Such a vile stupid woman and I hate stupid people more than villains. She should see what was going to happen to her and yet not only she didn't but until the last minute she continued to trust the wrong person. Well done for her character. She didn0t deserve anything better.
4 The whole stupid gang of corrupted people. They all deserved a life sentence and I loved the way they caught them. It was comedic and also rewarding.
5 Koo Tae Su. When you know what happened in the past, one would think there's something redeemable about him. God, no. He had a million chances to repent and he took none. I even think seeing his mother wasn't right. He should have nothing in his life that would give him any relief. He was a weak, spineless idiot who also gave his trust to the wrong people over and over. Idiot though the end. Also the actor did a good job, but I have some doubts about him being the best for the role.
