Sirenas

There's a lot of commendable aspects to the series particularly because this differs from your typical action series around the police force with high intensity crimes. It does a good job in depicting the daily struggles within the police force when it comes down to working with different personalities, frustrations around their hands being tied by regulations (and politicians), and depicting everyone's personal struggles with their own personal lives. It's also great to see the dynamics on how differently the rookies develop over time as they make mistakes and how each one learns from them.

However, other than Oh Yang Chon and his wife, the rest of the characters were pretty uninteresting. The crimes they come across for a patrol team varies between every day nuances as well as darker murder crimes. But as there is heavy focus on the rookies, they don't really leave much of an impression.

The series triggered me to re-watch Ordinary Greatness in the case I was being biased about the genre. And I was able to confirm that OG is definitely superior to Live. The relationships between the team and character developments feel much more natural. The crimes OG encounters are not as dark as Live but are still quite impactful. And while I shed a couple of tears for Live, the ones in OG are ones that really tug from the heart in a lasting way. And the most important difference is that the plot flow in OG still managed to keep me interested to completion unlike Live.
