This drama is as realistic as it gets, there's no extra comedy or extra sweet romance or super dramatic scenes just to push the story forward(though it obviously has some drama), it's just the daily life of police officers and what they go through.
So why did I watch it? I don't know, there are many things that can't be explained in this world and this is one of them but I did and I'm really glad I did.
After episode 1 I thought the series was decent and decided to try another one. After that I found it interesting and started to get attached to the characters and by the 3rd episode I was completely hooked.
The story, even though there was no real goal to it, was really great. I never felt bored, which I easily am in shows like this(which is why I usually dislike them), I was interested in everything that was going on and really cared about the characters, which for me is about as good as it gets.
The acting was superb and I truly mean that. There were no exaggerated acting which can be quite common for korean dramas and can often be entertaining but would not have been a good fit for this series.
I could not find single fault in the characters' acting, everything was really realistic, in a good way.
The music choice was exceptional, the mix between western and eastern music fit really well and gave every emotional scene extra depth.
As for rewatch value... Will I watch it again? Most likely, though in a few years or so. Will I go back and watch specific scenes as one might do for melodramas and such? Probably not. Still rewatchable though.
In conclusion, as you might've figured out I really enjoyed the series even though I didn't expect to, which to me is one of the highest praise a series can get. So please, even though you might not usually enjoy series like these, give this one a try. Who knows, it might surprise you, just as it did me.
