Oooh... the moment we've been waiting for looks to happen next week. Can't wait for it!

Dramanice finally fixed the upload for ep 22.

You mean their time slot? Next drama for Mon & Tues will be Black Dog starring Seo Hyun-Jin & Ha-Joon

Let me correct myself. In a way he is a victim. I never said he deserve to lose his daughter. No one deserves to lose a family member. I just said things could've turned out differently had he chose to live his life for good instead as a thief. For me, yes it was very sad that his daughter was killed. It was even more frustrating that those bystanders didn't do anything. But it was hard for me to sympathize for him because he lived his life as a thief and then committed murder. I don't blame Yoo Ryung on trying to find her sister. That's not the issue. The issue is how she handled it. Granted, I do understand her reasoning b/c the metro police failed to help her but I wasn't okay with her using the subway police and Chief for her own motives because they didn't do anything wrong to her.

After seeing him in Catch the Ghost, I can definitely see a male lead potential in this guy. I just enjoy his acting overall in that drama, from being a goofball, angry, sad. Man this guy has talent.

I started on this but Jin Sang is getting beyond frustrating so I'll hold off on this for now. Those who are watching this, let me know when Hae Jin divorces Jin Sang. lol. I'll probably start from there.

She's selfish when it comes to her actions since it cause others around her a lot of trouble. Yes she does everything she can to find her sister but she doesn't realize the consequences others have to suffer because of her. After her secret gets revealed, at least her character gets better as she's more aware of others and her surroundings. But no I don't sympathize with the subway ghost at all. If he would've been the responsible father and not pickpocket from others, he wouldn't have lost his daughter that day. He started off already as the criminal long before his daughter died. The mom also shares responsibility because all she had to do was to watch her grandchild and she couldn't even do that.

She did. But it didn't really make sense to me how she turned a complete 180 after a small conversation with her mom. Like there wasn't a steady progression to this change. It was just an instant change after she told her mom how she felt.

Kim Gun Woo, wow. Amazing acting. I see potential in this guy.

So a couple of things I wanna say about episode 11
- Ji Suk has really grown in character. I wasn't really too fond of him in the beginning but you continue to see a progression in character development to the point where he's very likable and you just want to see more of his scenes. He could've took the route of being very angry at Yoo Ryung for all the lies and actions she did but instead he was very understanding and caring for her.
- I kinda wish Yoo Ryung would've just told Ji Suk the truth from her own mouth instead of Ji Suk finding out from her friend and the video from Ma Ri, but oh well. I'm just glad the secret is out now. It makes the episode more enjoyable now that there are no more secrets.
- This episode looks to be the start of character development for Yoo Ryung. Now that her secret is out, no reason to lie anymore or commit any more actions behind Chief's back. Plus, it looks like she's thinking about Chief now and not just herself anymore. Yay!
- Romance between the leads likely starts from this episode on out. I just didn't feel any romance connection between the leads until this episode. It felt more like just work partnership the whole time until this episode aired.

Honestly, I was curious to see if the leads would survive or not from this because it could've gone either way and I probably would've been fine with it considering the plot wasn't great anyways.

No problem. Those who dropped it didn't really missed much anyways. lol

For me, I get why she does all that too but that doesn't excuse her character from being an annoying one. Take Ep 8 for example. If she would've just help Chief capture the grasshoppers in the first place, then they would've found the phone of the recording of the baker's son kidnapper. But because she's so terrible at seeing what's in front of her (aka Chief already capturing one of the Grasshopper guy), she jumps randomly instead and lands on the Chief and let the thief gets away. This is another annoying part of Yoo Ryung. Instead of chasing the thief, she knocks Chief off the scooter and goes after of the dump truck where the thief threw the "possible stolen items". While I do understand why she did this (because she really want to find the Baker's son plus knowing the feeling of finding an autistic family member), her actions are still frustrating to me. What else can I say, she wants to move to the Metro division (from the preview). she wants a new partner and she says partners should work/stick together but she doesn't do that at all. Chief always have to sacrifice for her. She never does any of the sacrificing. She may be selfless when it comes to helping the victims but she is so selfish when it comes to her co-workers & Chief. Some may feel emotional during her breakdown scenes but I just can't. I can't sympathize with her just based on everything she's done so far up to ep 8. I know she's doing everything she can to find her sister but I just hate it how she's using the Subway police & Chief for her own motives. I kinda wish Ma Ri would expose her already to Chief on taking the tunnel key.

The drama is very interesting but ugh Yoo Ryung is so annoying and beyond frustrating. Everything she does I just want to slap her. Never thinks about Chief. Only does things that benefits her. She frustrates me a lot more than Ma Ri does. What is the writer thinking?

I have mix feelings about this drama. I think the cases are interesting but I'm not feeling the characters of Yoo Ryung & Ji Suk, the female & male lead. I can see why some may be quite annoyed from the leads in Ep 3. Yoo Ryung is a caring person when it comes to getting justice for the victims but she's pretty selfish on taking advantage of the police position given to her because of her personal reason, and as the plot description stated, causes a lot of problems but I never would've guess her causing issues for Ji Suk would be this annoying. Ji Suk, while you do pity him at times, he's not all that likable either. There's nothing wrong with following the rules but the fact that he relies heavily so much on that and not human instinct makes him a bit frustrating too, especially when he wants to do things the right way but none of the other police departments want to cooperate with him. I just wish he would stand up for himself instead of getting pushed around and for Yoo Ryung to think before she acts.

Of course, this drama is just getting started so I do expect character development in the female & male lead characters. For me though, I do prefer having at least the male lead or female lead being mostly likable to start off but that's not the case for this drama. I just hope the writers give more focus on the main story plot and less on the side story/cases. It's good how it is right now but I wouldn't want to see it to continue to be written like this after the halfway point of this drama.

Man the writers are showing no love to Sanchez. First, he was made into a bad reputation thanks to Seol Ji Won (aka Serial Killer) and then he loses the girl he loves due to an accident just before she was going to meet him and what's worse is that he only got a few minutes of screen time with her as a ghost. He should've had more time with her. Why does the serial killer gets more time on the drama than him and his girlfriend? (Sorry, I'm just venting).

Yeah... I didn't know that. I don't pay too much attention to who the writers are.

This drama reminds me of The Master's Sun, not plot wise but the elements in that drama that's similar to this drama. It has a horror theme to it but also includes comedy, to make you frightful on one side but at the same time laughing on the other side. I love it. This drama also does the same thing Master's Sun does and that is showing the mini stories of the minor/guest characters, while at the same time, the main plot is being revealed piece by piece. After seeing 4 episodes, it does seem to be progressing at a good pace. It's been awhile since I anxiously wait for the next episode of a drama but this one is doing that pretty well.

Also... I see a new ship in episode 5. =D

Eh... it's there for certain episodes, mostly the first half of the drama but there are a lot more scenes of where the leads aren't together and the villains seemed to get more screen time. When you do see the leads together, you just can't help but feel happy for them and root for them.

Happy ending but the plot is everywhere. After finishing it and seeing all the plots and characters, this could've been a good daily drama. It was written poorly though. A lot of skip-able episodes since a lot of it is stalling the situation.
