Could very well be the case for next episode. Noh has had trouble with dealing with his emotions regarding Shin-ah. I mean from his perspective, she is someone who wasn't good at her job (according to his crazy high standard, especially regarding coffee). Now he wants someone who is crazy good at her job as he is at his, predominantly because he is all about efficiency, which is crucial for making more money, something that he thinks as important, due to struggle with money in his early life (all those things have also made him oblivious towards her struggles with life and work, not just her but pretty much everyone who works for him). On top of that, she tried to kill him, not really kill him, but through his perspective, it's attempted murder, as he didn't really have all the information. On top of that, she is pretending to be his fiancée. All of these incidents have really made Noh vary wary of Shin-ah, and he really had a hard time trusting her.
On top of all the things that I mentioned, he also can't trust Segi, who basically betrayed him, and his past regarding his loved ones leaving him one after another, either dying or abandoning or betraying him. So, He is an emotional mess, which was obvious, as you pointed out correctly, by looking at his back and forth, flip flopping behavior towards Shin-Ah in the last 2 episodes.
This show has done a good job of keeping things interesting between the two leads, in most rom-com dramas, you would have seen couples completely in relationship by episode 7-8, and many would lose interest in the later episodes. This one has kept the ML FL tension alive. There is more room to grow for this show in the upcoming 6 episodes, especially with the attempted shooting scene that was shown in ep 1.

Yap. The scene came out of nowhere, and really blew me away. That was, I think the pivotal moment for this show. I mean, I don't think anybody expected that scene at that moment, such a short scene yet portrayed very intense whirlwind of emotions.

I think Ep 10 was the best one so far, at the later part of the episode where Noh has a flashback about his loved ones always leaving him, that was pretty painful to watch, the music at that time really did the scene justice.
It came as a shock, at that moment, I wasn't really prepared for a scene like that. It was so sudden, I was really caught off guard.

Thanks. I still rewatch it from time to time, did just last week. It's truly that kind of a show.

So far it's a 7.9-8.2 drama (First ep 7.9, Second one 8.2) . No way a 6.8. Are people even watching it before giving such abysmal rating at such an early stage. I mean, 14 more episodes left. This ain't an 8 episode drama.

The girl trying to prevent her parents from getting married???? Okay, a cool way to basically kicking the bucket, or rather never having a bucket in the first place. Seems interesting.

yeah, 3 of them.

Talk about a high profile cast, wow!!

I've DM-ed you.

it looks good so far.

Here, I saw 2 korean subtitles for ep 1 and 2. Now, in subscene ep1 and ep2 has eng subtitles, but they are google translated, and difficult to understand. You can give it a try, do you understand korean?

Can someone tell me why the subs aren't here yet. I took a break from kdrama, started the comeback with "The one and only" and the last 2 episodes I found no sub, it took i think 3 more days to get the sub. Now, with this one, again the same thing is happening. Is there a particular reason for this that I'm missing here?

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

Oh yeah, it had politics, corruption, media manipulation. But, all of these were laid out in a very realistic manner, and really the pacing of the show in regards to story-development and character development was GREAT.

The ML and FL started out differently, their meeting was anything but pleasant, for both of them. Over time, it became something different, yes, but the progression of that was very different compared to traditional kdramas, it felt very natural, realistic and understandable. Personally, I would recommend everyone who enjoys realistic-paced thriller-crime-mystery drama with properly paced relationship (romance, bromance, familial) development and aren't too impatient.
Also, don't be discouraged by the 8.3 ratings, I can assure you one thing, if this show was casted by Song Joon Ki or Lee Jong Suk or Park Seo Joon, even if they did just "Okay" acting, this show would have received around 9 score simply through the power of storyline. That being said, all the actors have acted Brilliantly in this show, and I wouldn't dare change them with any ultra popular star even if I had that option, now freaking way! Then "The Good Detective" won't be "The Good Detective".

Actually, no direct cliffhanger. It ends with one mystery left to be solved. Throughout the series, the main male lead's father's death is a mystery, which wasn't the primary story of the show this season, it was rather another death of a police officer, and a few more related to that, which causes someone to be wrongfully accused.
At the end of the show, it seemed like, the story behind the ML's father's death isn't what it seemed to be. Probably, the 2nd season will revolve around that mystery, or at least, it will be solved alongside the main storyline for this season.

First of all, didn't you see that i said it was "initial review"? And also, I clearly said I will hopefully do a full review after the drama has finished. If I can't do that, at least I will either lower the ratings, or keep it or increase, depending on the performance.
"This if anything else shows a certain kind of disrespect to other's people's time"- Well, rather than disrespecting my time, you should have just read the review carefully.
And also, this ain't a 16 episode show, just 6 episodes. 33% of the show has already finished.
As far as those who are looking for something good to watch, well, they should do their own research, shouldn't they? As far I am concerned, if I finish a drama, I make sure to update the ratings. But, again, you should really read the review properly rather than going on with your long critical paragraph.

Which one is their First drama together?

Never knew there was a "it" version of kissasian. Looks pretty clean and issue free site to simply watch dramas comfortably. Thanks for this.

I also didn't like The king: Eternal Monarch, if that's the one you are talking about. The start was good, but after that it pretty much became a fashion show where the main model was Lee Min Ho. I mean, I have other things to do beside staring at his face throughout the entire show. The storyline became flat, and the acting, well, if someone wants to call it great acting, then, I can't really say anything. I would argue, even the child actors acted better in that show. The storyline was truly abysmal. It's been a long time that I've seen Lee Min Ho in an actual good drama, which is not tainted by his star image. But, he is very popular, and hence the high ratings, although, it died out, Thankfully. Itaewon Class, Doom at your Service, Eternal Monarch, all these shows in the recent times have been relevant, I would say, purely due to star power and, well, VISUALS, as some drama lovers would like to say.
