I like the premise and the characters, but the pace of the story is just tiring. It's a never ending roller-coaster of bad luck. I'm fast-forwarding most of it because it's the same stuff all over again.

Another run-of-the-mill romcom. Too bad for Jung So Min. She starred in some very interesting dramas like The Smile Has Left Your Eyes, Soul Mechanic and Alchemy of Souls, and now it seems like she's been typecast into these mediocre romcoms full of tired old tropes.

Another actor annihilated by the unbearable pressure of the Korean showbiz industry and society in general.

Signal and Stranger are the best of the best in this category. Compared to them I find dramas like Defendant and Voice rather silly. I more or less agree with the rest of the list, I guess I'll have to watch Children of nobody.

Other excellent crime thriller dramas that should be mentioned are:
KOREA: God's Quiz - Lucifer - Special Affairs Team TEN
CHINA: Love Me If You Dare
JAPAN: BORDER
