It’s giving me Hannibal Lector vibes but without the human eating lol. Sounds interesting. GAS in a crime drama yes! Nice to see her in a drama again since Life on Mars.

Lmfao lololol

I have my own gripes about the show but I didn’t hate it. I found it entertaining. It’s more so certain plot devices written into the drama that bugged me.

There isn’t a ‘right’ way to watch this. People can watch this and say it’s not really there cup of tea and that’s fine. Some people love it some people hate it some find it boring. There are praises & there are valid criticisms. Like you say, it’s all about preference. No one isn’t really stopping anyone from watching it. If people want to watch it, go for it. If not, watch a different drama lol.

The length of this drama should’ve been 10-12 episodes. The writing would’ve been much tighter & cleaner.

Really good performance from SHK!

Lmfao lololol

Lol the fact that the real-time comments is an actual thing is quite hilarious. I always have it turned off because it ruins the visual experience.

Yep, Kim Tae Ri’s acting is impeccable here. So much emotions in her eyes. She was acting in circles around LBH.

I stray away from KES’s projects. This is her only ‘decent’ one lol & I say that even with my teeth clenched lol.

DS had his finger prints all over Min Jeong’s phone. What if the police department thought he was the culprit when if they found the phone? I’m speaking in a general sense since most time in crime dramas, writers make main characters who work in the police department do things that lack logic & actions that prolong certain situations. That’s what I find ‘absurd’. That’s something that I notice in most crime dramas.

I ‘get’ the point of the drama. Almost every crime drama, cops are incompetent & there’s corruption. I like the story just not entirely the execution. This drama had moments in the beginning but it is just ‘okay’. But that’s my opinion. Agree to disagree.

I don’t expect them to be perfect or know it all but these people have or had high ranking positions in the police department & years of experience. I get that their flawed characters but I’m more so talking about the way they handled things. Like for instance when DS was going around putting those evidence in different area to lead the cops for days when he could’ve went straight to the police that night when he knew or had a hunch who it was. He had a concrete evidence but he waited out. What if the ‘guy’ potentially murder someone else right after Min Jeong?

I mean Ji Hoon got handcuffed instantly & interrogated from a lack of evidence. Taking those fingers & phones to the police is enough evidence to have the ‘guy’ arrested or interrogated & have his house searched from the ground up. DS had a phone with him, could’ve record the evidence or take a picture of the situation at that time. I’m making a general comment how incompetent the police department are written since it always seems to be an occurring thing in most crime dramas whether it’s intentional or not lol almost to a point of absurdity. Because of that, their actions cost them big time.

For a 3x Baeksang Arts Awardee, the drama had several ridiculous moments. The obstruction & contamination of evidence was beyond unbelievable lol. Like DS was a former inspector that’s suppose to be uber intelligent but he’s touching major evidence lol & basically wasted so much time. The incompetence of the police department was super jarring. How do they still have their job lol? I’m not sure if I’m suppose to take anyone here seriously lol. I didn’t really buy YJG’s performance here as JW. Maybe because I found the character written blandly. Didn’t see much development between DS & JW relationship as partners. Most of the time, JW suspected DS as a criminal or the people around him as bad folks. The drama definitely had potential to be compelling but it felt a bit muddled & prolonged with the back & forth situations. I would say it’s a pretty easy show to watch. The music score & OST is really good!

Yeah I agree. If ratings aren’t allowed yet maybe until it’s halfway point, It probably would give a more balance or concise opinion what people overall think about the show. But good thing about reviews is it helps whether people want to invest in a show like this.

A lot of kdramas on MLD tend to be rated high from the start even when it’s not done yet lol. I think it’s because this drama garnered a large audience of watchers, it upscales the ratings. We’ll see how it ends when reviews starts kicking in.

There’s a good discussion about the drama whether it is pro or con but If you’ve been enjoying the drama this far then you should continue watching it. If not, then there’s still plenty of dramas to watch lol.

Please don’t stress out too much lol.

I’m not sure if I saw any comments regarding my roommate is a gumiho here lol, unless it’s buried somewhere.

I think it’s all about preference. I haven’t seen that show so I can’t really make a comment lol. I know that both shows include an ancient magical dude lol.

Lol, the burger without the buns.

This drama is lacking in condiments & flavor lol. Where's the spice, right?!

It has more of a melodrama feel to it. I mean I’m not sure where the funny parts come in lol. I don’t think the drama was remotely funny at all lol.

I mean I was around when the drama was airing but I stopped watching at episode 32 lol. I made some comments here & there.

I’m just surprised by the large audience it has reached here. Hmm…
I’m not sure why it blew up but I think a lot of the people find the characters engaging.

I avoid dramas that falls into the romance genre mostly because of preference.

But the thing the romance genre has changed immensely in kdramaland both in writing & broadcasting. Twenty years ago, the romance, melodrama, historical, and family drama were huge because of public tv. Now there’s cable networks and a variety of genres to enjoy & watch. Id say romance drama twenty years ago age badly lol.

In the earlier comments, the discussions were about the age difference & the casting of the characters.

There’s so much traffic here, it’s hard to type while commenting lol.
