agreed

This is not bad at all. It's an okay drama but dry-ish. That's why the low rating. There's something lacking, I'm not getting immersed in it. Also, I don't understand some actor choices (the male secretary could have been a more lively & humorous character, for instance). From similar dramas: The Auditors from this year was much more suspense-filled and had more interesting cases, imo. I've liked Go Soo most in Heart Surgeons. I might finish this, slowly, but it's not a priority.

Thanks for the hint! I'm watching Lost in Shadows right now and that too is really good. I made a request to Netflix for Blossoms Shanghai. I really hope they buy it. I love Wong Kar-Wai films and this doesn't seem to have eng subs yet on other platforms.

Another c-noir drama that is simply amazing. This is truly clever writing.

Moon Sang Min and Bae Hyeon Seong fighting scene was a racket! I could see from their eyes how much they were enjoying doing that. To have these two in an action comedy! Also, the actors doing the leads as teenagers were so good. Hong Min Ki needs a lead role asap! The drama is nonserious but not cringey like many recent romcoms. Started well, hopefully gets even better. The writer has written very entertaining dramas like The Tale of Nokdu and Love In the Moonlight.

yes

It's complete. Since it consists mostly of episodic cases, it's possible to watch S2 without watching S1.

Many thanks for this article. Will def start watching. Am simply amazed by the high quality of c-noir dramas and been watching a lot of them this year. Other c-noir watchers will also likely appreciate Escape From the Trilateral Slopes, and The First Shot.

expext all-round silliness and we're good to go

This is silly and absurd (how they employ 5 municipal workers just to marry off one guy) but for some mysterious reason I kind of liked the first episodes. Must be the curls on Lee Yi Kyung. He's not someone you can say no to.

Did anybody actually like Lee Jin Wook in Dear Hyeri......it was just difficult to watch him. Hope this is not a waste of a good script with these actors.

Lee Joon Hyuk was absolutely perfect in Dong Jae! Loved every minute of the drama. It's so funny yet also a really good crime drama.

the most fluffy dramas have the most people who mistake this site for a fansite. People feeling they must fight wrong opinions about dramas that aren't even serious, where they have no stakes, is what's silly.

never courteous to ask that. bc this happens to be a commenting and criticism site. You're assuming it's a fansite. Write your views in your own line instead of attacks. Just state your own views and let others state theirs.

Ji Seung Hyun guesting in ep 3 made me remember Team Bulldog. In Team Bulldog the combination of humour and serious case investigations worked so well together. The humour was actually funny and not cringey at all. The suspense was not watered down by the humour.

At this point I'm relieved Go Jun is not back in S2 bc I'd just hate seeing him do over the top comedy faces.

I remember people like me liked S1 - especially the latter part - except found Kim Sung Kyun's acting over the top and cringey and out of place in the drama. I guess they got triggered by the comments bc the whole crew is now acting like Kim Sung Kyun. Lee Ha Nee doing a Jim Carrey face... she's a very good comedian. And although I sort of enjoy the comedy I'd actually still prefer for this to be more serious. There's maybe still time. This is just me, having watched plenty of seriously heavy drug crime dramas lately. That means I just find the combination of drug crime and comedy a little too lighthearted.

A fast paced crime & detective drama. Not fast paced on steroids but compared to another thriller I'm watching right now (Save Me 2) this moves at double speed. We get attached to the 2 main characters. Zhuang Wen Jie is a Sherlock Holmes type and Captain Luo an authority but protective type. There's something fundamentally satisfactory about how well they and rest of the police work together. I find this entertaining and refreshing (currently at ep 13).

A year or 2 but it's not guaranteed it will be made available. Being a Viki subscriber means not having to wait.
