easy-going 60s era crime drama
I love the vibes of the 60s era. I have to say they did a great job. I like that each episode represents different case and I love the way they solved the cases. I like that it is inspired by Korean history and how difficult it actually was to catch bad guys.I am amazed by the first half of the drama as it has really funny moments and the dream team was build. To be honest for the the second half was loosing its charm. Also it is upsetting to see that no one cares about normal people except the unit 1 and the corruption is on different level. I guess nowadays it is the same but they cover it much better.
The drama is easy to follow as the cases are not that difficult to follow so it does not need your full attention.

You will love the journey with uncle Samsik!
It is very easy to watch and follow the events even if you are not familier with the Korean history. It is story how the politics really works to gain money and power.The acting is great and I love the relationship that uncle Samsik had with San. Samsik is real genius who's always come up with the plan and it is fun to watch as he is always ahead of everyone. I was so surprised that in the end he is betrayed and oversmarten by someone you would not expect at all. Till the last minute I was hoping he has other plan to get out of the situation. The ending was very emotional. I guess it ended as it should as in the end the money and power always win. It would be great to see Kim San to take a revenge....
To be honest I don't understand why the rating is so low and the drama is not very well known.

average drama
It is a good drama and the acting of Hey Soo is great. But to be honest I was loosing focus after first few episodes but I finished the drama as the stories of the cases where really interesting. It is hard to see that there is no real justice for people specialy if you have money or power.Overall it is good drama but it did not leave any impression after I finished it.

Great drama for the first half after that it is disappointing.
It could have been so good if they carry on with the story as in the first half of the drama. The first 6 epidosed are great. It keeps you engaged and you don't know what is gonna happen next between the taxi driver and the culprit.But once the culprit went to China the storyline went downhill. I wish they would finish the drama around 6/7 episodes. It is a real shame as they did not use all the potential and it could be a great drama. The story keeps you engaged through the whole drama but I was loosing interest towards the end. I will not even talk about the imcopentece of the detectives...The villan character was perfect as probably the olny character in the drama. To my surprise a didn't even care how it is gonna end.
Overall it is a good drama but could have been great if the focused more on the storyline.

it is not great & it is not bad drama
If you need a drama that is easy to watch this one is for you. Is is not great and it is not bad.I have to say the first half was better as probably from 11ep it is getting a little bit boring. Is would be better if it had less episodes.
The acting is okay and of course the visuals of Koo Woo. The chemistry between leads is great!
overall it is a great drama if you want to watch something where you can just switch off and not use your brain.

Good drama - was expecting much more
To be honest I was expecting much more from this drama after I read so many great reviews. The first half was great but the second half started dragging the story and it wasn’t so interesting and I had to push myself to finish it. It is real shame as the story was great but not executed very well. After finishing the last episode I didn’t feel any joy or sadness as it haven’t leave any impact on me as other great drama did.The acting of the main lead Ha Kyun was great he’s really good actor. He has done outstanding performance.
You cannot compare this drama to a masterpiece Mouse or Flowers of evil.

Great medical drama with a lot of action and humor, you won't get bored!
It has the best intro, love it! The drama is spot-on; it's bang, bang, bang..... action....medical surgery....humor (anus/no1)😀 . The pace is perfect; it's straight to the point, not wasting time with unnecessary plots and dialogues. I think it works so well because it has only eight episodes, and everything is sorted in a few minutes.
I was hooked from the beginning, and the drama went so fast. I finished it in one sitting. I love how Ji Hoon portrayed his character; he slayed the role (I read an interview in which he had a few conflicts with the director as he tried to put his ideas on how the comics should be conveyed as a drama), so I think he deserves credit for its success as well.
Also, I love how he slowly built his trauma team even when everyone and everything was against him. The acting is superb, as is the cinematography. I hope we will have another season soon.

I do not like it.
The FL character is so annoying and I cannot stand her acting but I have tried to overlook it and kept watching. The drama is not getting any better as I read few comments that it will be better after first few episodes. To be honest I was looking forward to this drama as I thought it will be similar to Tomorrow which I love but it is not even close.I could not connect to the characters and the only part I liked is the past life. I have tried so hard to watch the drama but I have dropped the drama at 5 episodes.

Great drama with beautiful storyline
I love this dramaI binge-watched it in a few days. The storyline is perfect, and I love that they did not force a love triangle as in other dramas. To see the relationship between Mi Ji and Ho Su is just so heartwarming, and I love that there is not some unnecessary "drama," but instead they concentrated on their development... beautiful. Also, it is nice to see how the family dynamics slowly changed. The interaction between Mi Ji and Gyeong is just pure laughter. It is just perfect.The acting is great, and Bo Young did a great job portraying both characters. The production and cinematography are great.
It is a great comfort drama that you will love for their pure love.

Disappointed....story all over the place.
I didn't enjoy the drama as much as I had hoped. The beginning was promising, and the main female lead carried the show with her excellent portrayal of her character. However, the second half became increasingly ridiculous, with the plot taking a nosedive. It's a shame because the storyline had potential. Additionally, the romance between the characters felt forced and lacked chemistry. The behavior of the main lead was inconsistent and his character seemed poorly developed. As a result, I started to lose interest and found it difficult to stay focused on the show. Also the open ending was unnecessary.Was this review helpful to you?
Disappointed with the storyline
I was so excited about this drama; the cast is great, and the plot seems interesting, but I was quite disappointed. The storyline was weak, and I had a hard time getting past episode 7, as the drama did not maintain my interest, and I did not connect with any of the characters. It is a shame, as the acting is great, and it could have been a great story if better executed. Once I stopped watching it, I could not bring myself to return to it, so I dropped the drama.Was this review helpful to you?
trash BL but somehow you will wait for a new episodes with excitement and love the MLs
It is really addictive! I was waiting every week for a new episode. The week never felt so long.I loved Sorn and Jun; their interaction was great, also the chemistry. Sometimes I felt like I was watching a porn. It was nice to see how their relationship developed and how Sorn changed for the better.
But that is about it. The storyline is terrible, and I did not care about the other characters, as I always skipped their scenes. The acting was terrible especially the second ML couple. So basically, Sorn & Jun saved the drama.
If you wanna watch it - watch it for the main couple and ignore the rest, and do not think too much about the story.

unique story that will drawn you in and won't let you go
I was hooked from the beginning and could not stop watching it. Even though it has 16 episodes, I did not mind as I was not bored for a second.I loved the beginning; it is so fun to watch Gang Cheol and Yeo Ri interact. The best part is how Sung Jae portrayed Imugi, as it is so refreshing and really brings the character to life. He is my favorite character, and I love his acting. I liked seeing how the male and female leads' romance slowly grew. And I like that the romance is not the center of the story.
Also, the relationship between Imugi and the King was great; I love their dynamic. Ji Hoon's acting is amazing; he portrayed the King perfectly.
It has a great balance of horror/thriller/romance, and I like how they became a great team to fight the spirits and corrupted magistrates. The only negative is that I expected much more from the final battle. Also, I don't know why, but the female lead did not suit the drama; I just could not feel it, and her performance was not as great as Imugi's and the King's. Apart from that, it is a great drama with a unique storyline and great performances, and also it has a satisfying ending even it felt it was rushed.

Not on the same level as class 1 but still great watch
Wow, what a ride! I binge-watched it in one go. The acting was great, especially Park Ji Hoon—his eyes could tell the whole story. It was so sad to see Si Eun struggling and feeling guilty about Su Ho. It was nice to see his journey to get better and make new friends. Ryeon Un has undergone a great transformation in his character, but I don't know if it's the weight he gained, but he looked so old that he didn't look like a student. The villains are on another level compared to season 1. Jun Young did an amazing job portraying Seon Ke.To be honest, I think eight episodes are not enough; it was very fast-paced, but in my opinion, the story lacked depth. Like, at the end, everyone was crying, but I didn't feel it. The backstory was missing, so I couldn't connect with the characters and sympathize with them. On the other hand, the fight scenes were amazing—so good. My favorite is the rooftop fight with Seong Je and Si Eun; my heart almost stopped—it was so intense.
To compare it to season 1, I think season 2 is not on the same level. The production and fights are great, but season 1 focused more on the friendships and the characters' stories, which was missing in season 2. I wish there were a few more episodes to make the story perfect.
OMG, the ending...finally! I was hoping to see more interaction, so hopefully, we will get a season 3.

it's a perfect drama and you will love it!
What a journey! The drama had me on the edge of my seat. I have to say the storyline is just perfect, and you don't get bored at all. I would say the exact opposite; as the 12 episodes finished, I was like, "Watch! I want more!" The production, colors, and acting are great.I like the M&A and how they fought against the whole company. Ju No's negotiation skills are just on another level. I like how they got through every task, which always helped someone in the end. It was not only about getting money but they put their heart into it as well. Some of the executives had my blood boiling, especially the chairman and Ha Tae, as they did not understand that they were trying to save the company and that meant their jobs. Money takes the heart......
The ending was perfect. It made me scream and laugh at the same time as he walked through the door. Also, it's a great opening for another season, if there will be one.
I am a little surprised that the rating is so low and it's not very popular.
It reminds me of *Hot Stove League*, which is one of my favorite dramas.
