it's really disrespectful not to use spoiler tags when discussing recent episodes. I'm only on the second episode and I've already figured out where the story is going. You’re ruining the experience and making me lose interest in watching the drama!
Guys, quick question – maybe it's just me, but I find the actor who plays Prosecutor Tae Jin quite annoying. I can't tell if it's because of the Botox he has on his face, but it really looks paralyzed. I feel like his surgical tweaks have ruined his appearance a bit because every time I see him, he looks deformed, and his expressions are very mediocre.
I completely agree. Rowoon is one of the worst actors I've ever seen but still he gets so many main roles... still…
The same hype surrounded Eunwoo, and in my opinion, he's not a great actor either. However, he's objectively handsome and attracts an audience to the productions. To be fair, after many projects, there has been some improvement, but there are so many talented Korean actors out there. Why continue to focus on idols?
(I guess at this point, it's likely that music agencies pay well or that idols cost less compared to actors.)

I think some directors focus on the looks or popularity of certain actors. However, the best dramas released this year, like *Queen of Tears*, *Chief Detective*, *Lovely Runner*, and many others, featured a cast of only actors and no idols. I want to emphasize that I have nothing against idols since I love IU and D.O. as actors. But when someone can't act, it's pointless to keep giving them roles.
I believe the actress deserves more recognition than she has received. Among the three actors Byeon Woo Seok, Lee Jae Wook, and Rowoon, it's Rowoon who should focus on improving his acting skills. Interestingly, Rowoon started as an idol before transitioning to acting. I have nothing against idols pursuing acting, as I admire IU as an actress, but some idols should reconsider taking on acting projects because they often don't bring much to the table. Woo Seok, on the other hand, showcased his talent in "Lovely Runner" and truly deserves the success he's experiencing.
When this K-drama was first released in 2020, I avoided it because I found it incredibly boring knowing who the culprit was from the start. However, four years later, I decided to give it a try as it was on my plan-to-watch list and had such a high rating. To my surprise, it turned out to be a 10/10 for me. The story was well-paced over all 16 episodes, and I could see the growth of the protagonist and his relationship with Cha Ji Won. The actor did an excellent job portraying the character, and the story flowed smoothly. I have nothing but praise for this drama.
