Unfortunately, the drama wasn't as it appears on the surface. Presumably, it was set in China with most of the cast being Chinese, meanwhile the Korean main lead was more of a sidekick and a clown in the story. Although there was a little bit of change but the writer didn't put in the effort to work on his character. Aside from the initial premise of the plot, up to being scammed, the drama got stale and they began to introduce love interests at every down time. That was why they forced the Korean ML to get a love interest so he doesn't fall behind, even then, it fell short and uneventful. I would much prefer if they worked on his character contrary to how he was presented earlier in the story. The story progressed and ended in a very old fashioned Chinese way in delivering lessons and such. On another note, I liked some of the unexpected scuffness like the boom mic peeking on top of the frame.
Most of the episodes kinda played out in the same way. They got a client, they ran through typical scenarios avoiding getting caught, then end the episode with a close call just to succeed in the last second. However, they did try something different for episode 6 which was much needed to shake things up. While the concept of the drama is provoking but they generally kept it safe without too much risk, it would've been better if they were more daring. All in all, the drama oozes mid 2000s scuffed vibes. I was expecting Ma Dong Seok to be more of a stand out character but I guess this wasn't the case earlier in his career.
Season 1: It had the episodic cases formula. The first episode was decent but that rest were really not good. Season 2: The cases were more or less repetitive and generic. It didn't fix the problems from season 1 but at least having a consistent cast with a little bit of personality did help in the long run.

It took forever to get things going. The 8 episodes were definitely too long for what they had to offer. Of course, it all ended in the most super generic way possible, they weren't even trying.
Season 1 was okay with a variety of cases. Starting from second season, it got repetitive with its episodes and cases. Onto the 3rd season, aside from the continued repetition, I preferred the hosts from the previous seasons.
