This is the most enjoyable original thriller Kdrama from Disney for me so far, the bar is really low I must say. It's intriguing enough to make me seat and binge-watch it. The plot was well-written, at least from the surface. I like how the buildup was made, quite detailed and tidy. I like the unconventional personality of the FL, Yun In A. The scene where she pretended to be the killer and questioned in the Criminal Analysis Team office was really impressive. I also like the setup, when everyone was suspicious of each other.
Unfortunately, those all good things were made to cover a big flaw. Disney orginal, again, always wants to have a Hollywood-like plots. It was clearly shown with the sudden turn at episode 10. So they made the same goal for every villain: seeking justice by destroying "the world". All of the systematical murders from 1st to 9th episode were replaced by something "beyond logic" and "unimaginable". Or maybe they made this all so they can insert the message at the end of the show?
The plot holes were too many in this. There was no way the people in the puzzle had no meaning and connection to the real murders. Hwang In Chan must drawn them with a meaning, it was too freaking coincidental for an unintentional act. I couldn't believe they released Yang Jeong Ho from the custody and just let him go. They all knew he wasn't the serial killer, and he could be in danger. However, nobody tried to neither bug his phone nor put a tracker on his car. Instead they relied solely on a rookie Choi San. They also never revealed how the serial killer murdered their victim. I mean, Kwon Sang Beom was killed with a rifle, where did she get it? They made the murderer seemed to have a supernatural power, as she could easily track In A whereabouts. Lots of premises were wasted here including, the reason Han Saem position stucked for 10 years, the reason behind Choi San transfer, and the Criminal Analysis Team that seems didn't really impactful to the story.
Should I recommend it? I must say yes, even though the ending is a bit underwhelming. Still enjoyable, and for me the better thriller original Disney Kdrama so far.
