Enjoyable But Nothing Stand-Out

Has funny moments, somewhat engaging storyline, cute relationships (Dochang taking care of Eunhye, Eunhye being a friend to Jaeung? Or whatever the little boy's name is). I always love Korean shows and movies with a small shitty detective office where the group inevitably has multiple scenes chasing criminals down on foot in groups of like 7. They're so unprofessional and run-down it amuses me every time somehow.

However, the acting is sometimes rocky, the storyline convoluted, people always yell for no reason, and some main characters I just truly don't care about. The short haired middle aged woman? So annoying. I don't care about her and Ms. Jin becoming girl boss besties. Please bring us back to Dochang and Jihyuk.

The show does make Dochang morally grey in a way that he can still manage to be likeable. Jihyuk is a bit boring and too clean but whatever. He's the eye candy side kick. I'll let it pass. Eunhye joining family was cute. Jaeung's mother getting him back was wholesome. Ms. Jin and Jihyuk whistle scene was adorable. Was really happy with the ending.
