This detective drama shifts the spotlight from who did it to how it was done. If you’ve seen your fair share of mystery shows, you’ll probably guess the culprit early on—but the real fun is in unraveling the method. Our male lead is a brilliant scientist who uses science to crack cases, while the female lead is a passionate rookie detective bringing the heart. The one-case-per-episode format isn’t new, but what makes Galileo stand out is the clever use of science and the surprisingly great chemistry between the leads—especially for a non-romantic show.

And that’s where my little rant begins: why do non-romantic dramas always have the best ML-FL chemistry? I’m not asking for swooning in the lab or dramatic love confessions—just a flicker of something from the ML wouldn’t hurt. A subtle, lab-certified spark? No? Alright, moving on.

All in all, this drama might not blow your mind, but it’s a smart and satisfying watch for your inner detective. The cases are clever, the science adds a fun twist, and the leads—one all brains, the other all heart—are totally in sync. It’s not groundbreaking, but definitely entertaining.
