I feel like this season is "dumber" than the first in terms of the cases and plot. So many things doesn't make sense in a not cool way that I can't just go along with it and laugh.

The villain is good though. Not very well developed but I like the subtle unhinged vibe and creepy not quite right smile. ML and team are still fun to watch together but as a mystery drama, it kinds of falls short. I was tempted to rate it lower but I couldn't do it because the cast all acted so well.

13 was ok until the police chief part. The ML has a bigger group behind him than the villain. How is the chief scared of villain's mom and not ML looking for payback for what he did?

Just finished ep 12. The show ignores common sense quite a bit in this final arc too. ML forgetting who has a key to his super secure house. Former detective forgetting that detectives work in pairs for a reason. The ML not re-starting surveillance on the serial killer who framed him as soon as he's told his company's board who is the boss. After the school episode, I'm kind of hyper-aware and a bit put off by these lapses.

Wow! I am on ep 10. Who wrote that? There is always a bit of over the top ridiculous-ness with the show. But its usually fun and endearing. What happened in ep 10 made no sense. They could have just arrested the culprit with the evidence they found. Why traumatize everyone with that type of reveal? I am seriously having doubts about the writing this season. It pushes the suspense of disbelief too far. I am hoping the final arc makes sense. I do not like mystery shows that defies reason too much.

I tried to watch this show earlier but couldn't handle the cringe-worthy humor. I was looking for something light and gave this another try. It’s not bad as a mystery, but it is predictable and unrealistic.

I also find FL very annoying.. The ML can be a bit much at times too, but he's still believable in that he's doing his job. The FL pushes suspense of disbelief way too far. There is just no way a TV producer can do a fraction of what she did and not be arrested already. If not for the excellent side characters. I wouldn't have finished this show.

I am a big fan on NKM. I signed up for disney/hulu again just for this show. My preferred genre is mystery/thriller, so I had high expectations.

I just finished ep1; and although the premise seems promising, the character dynamics and behavior seems off to me. Confidence is one of the defining characteristics of a renowned surgeon; and the ML lacks that.

I know it's what the script calls for, since NKM's Dr Prisoner character has that particular brand of confidence in spades. But it makes the ML character and his workplace interactions with his father-in-law and his wife feel very unrealistic to me.

I think I'm going to need to dial down my expectations. I might start getting annoyed at the show otherwise.

I am a huge fan of the actor and have watched or tried to watch the other works I can find. I'd recommend the Veil and Chief Kim for the contrast, which I think showcases his ability to become his character. I personally don't like romance dramas so I couldn't finish most of them (including dearest). The one I managed to finish is Beautiful Kong Shim. The show is uneven and awkward but it is mostly cute and likeable. If you want to watch him be goofy, I'd recommend one dollar lawyer. It's a bit uneven too, but it's a good mix of humor and has heart.

I just started this. I liked season 1 a lot. The ML was over the top and acts spoiled but it is clear he has a good heart and a soft side, which makes him sympathetic and easy to root for. He doesn't give off the same vibe in this season. Where did the cool confidence to outsiders go? He still did the softer side well though. I like the scene with his brother, it feels like season one.

I think the new FL is fine but the dynamics between the returning team one members seem off. It's more awkward and doesn't have the same charm as the first season. I hope the show improves and finds its groove again soon.

I think season one is much better. It's a lot more fresh. The dynamics is better too. I would highly recommend it.

I agree that it is not unrealistic to resent his dad in the situation. But the ML is too good to be real in so many ways all through the show. So I disagree that the initial behavior is in character for ML. I think that part felt forced because it goes against the ML's defining characteristics and it dragged on. He suddenly changed his mind without any evidence otherwise anyway, so it's a waste of an hour in terms of narrative flow.

I just binged this in one sitting. It's so much fun and the end of the story was surprisingly touching. The last part of the show is a teaser for a next adventure. I'd be happy to watch a 2nd season if they make one :)

Yes, exactly! I wish they'd just cut that part and have 15 episodes. It would be a much better show.

I took a break and am just now watching the last case.. The ML's behavior towards his dad just made me lose all good will I have towards the show. How can the ML just believe the worst without even trying to investigate? I liked the show because of its warmth and a lot of that comes from the ML's endearing kindness. But the last case made me think of him as a hypocrite who treats strangers better than family. I will still finish since I'm so closed to the end. But the show is kind of ruined for me

I finished binge watching this show. The first 6-7 episodes are really gripping. I can't wait to find out what's next. The last few are a bit of a letdown by comparison. The finale in particular really pushed suspense of disbelief too far (for me). It's still overall very entertaining and the cast all did a fantastic job. I'd watch a 2nd season if there is one :)

Ok. I just binged the first four episodes. There aren't enough funny parts for the show to be a comedy but what's there is great and the bright spots of the show!

I think I would describe this show as over-the-top action. The action looks cool in a stylized way, but it requires suspense of disbelief. The story is kind of "iffy" and does not qualify as a thriller (to me), but it's fast paced and the cast makes the show very enjoyable as long as I don't think too hard :) I think I will finish binge watching this tomorrow

I just started this drama. The first episode feels really uneven. The ML did a great job playing his stoic no-nonsense character. His interactions with his current and ex co-workers are so funny. The other two former agents are hilarious too, and the chemistry between the 3 is wonderful.

The daughter's storyline at school seems unoriginal and lacking in comparison. I was tempted to fast forward, but I am worried I won't be able to follow the plot.

Does the show stay uneven like this where the comedy outshines the darker/more serious parts? Just wondering if I need to adjust my expectations and watch this as a comedy instead of a thriller.

That's good to know. Thank you

I have this on my watch list and just realized it's a lost tomb show. Does the story ends with a cliffhanger? Lost tomb shows have a tendency to not have a real ending, which I really don’t like, so I'm a bit hesitant to start

I typically like to accumulate episodes before starting but I really want to watch this. I am a huge fan of Namkoong Min (since Good Manager) and my preferred genre is mystery/thrillers. I have re-signed up for Hulu/Disney+ on July 4th just for this show. I am in the US and Hulu only has episodes 1 and 2 right now. Should I wait?

I'm in the US and without VPN if I want to watch on my TV screen. I can try on my computer with VPN but I think I'll wait.
