Lacks consistency, gets silly randomly. One big elongated mystery with tiny small droplets of information every episode. Editing and OST selection can be hit or miss. Can get a bit melo at times, wish they kept it purely mystery/thriller.
I've seen movies from Kim Ok Bin but first time seeing her in a drama, she is good overall but sometimes she lacks a bit more seriousness and intensity.
The lower quality is evident from the first 10 minutes, no wonder it was cut short by few episodes. The writing doesn't help either. Very poor color grading! At least you can fix it a bit with the controls within your media player.
Not funny, not romantic, boring, no consistent theme, male lead is a pathetic wimp, barely any action scenes and it suddenly turns melo for a bit. There was an attempt to make something but it's just below average slice of life drama.
There are bad dramas and there are insufferably stupid ones and this falls into the latter. Exactly halfway through by the end of ep8 it derails hard. I've not seen writing this atrocious since "The Third Charm" and it even excels. Shocking!
On a side note, the leads during their teens had a completely different character that it makes a big gap between their future counterpart. On another side note, I think this had the most time skips I've ever seen in a drama. A big telling for amateur writing.
If you are a first time watcher I suggest grabbing the Bluray version since it got few minutes extra content with every episode + small epilogue revealing a short emotional monologue or just a cute cut of a scene. I knew what I was getting myself into yet I can't help but feel it's overrated. It's good but not great.
The good: Lots of talented familiar faces, big diverse cast. Great acting. Enjoyable contrast between the leads. Female lead personality reminds me of Han Ye Seul role in Couple or Trouble.
The bad: Long, really long! It takes forever for something significant to happen. Given its length, too much screen time was given to the main leads that the rest feels like less than a support character. You have a big cast full of diverse characters and mini sub stories yet barely anything shown from that. That's something I find modern dramas does better. Male lead powers are problematic element that only leads to a weaker writing with plot holes.
The ugly: The villain character is just not good. It's the weakest part of the drama. Feels like there is a big contrast between how his character was written and the rest of the script.

The drama is mostly just a big exhibition of airport security and everything related to it.

Overall, a passable watch for a mystery drama.

Knowing Netflix, I'm not looking forward to this.
You can already expect an open ending and a 2nd season if it did good numbers
I really wanted to see the mother in law in jail, I'm pretty sure she broke a handful of laws along the way.

Guess I won't be seeing Jung So Min for another year
