8.5/10 - I really love this drama. I watched it twice. Its actually the best exam-oriented dramas out there. All the student casts becomes popular actors in their own right after this drama.

6/10 - A classic and very famous and it has Nino in it. But, I dislike everything lol

5/10 - Very famous for Jdramas watchers but I seriously dislike everything in this drama. Gang related Jdramas is definitely not to my liking.

4/10 - I'm sorry there is nothing good I can say about this drama lol

5.5/10 - Interesting concept but the way most of the students react to the things that happened in the drama is unrealistic imo.

I'm probably gonna watch this drama later. Your selection of gifs made me lol. Good job! :D

Its ok. I get you. But I like to know if there are such dramas so I can avoid it lol

Thats why I close my eyes during those intro & outro scenes.

lol what dramas has this kind of trope. I need to know :D

'witty and snarky characters'

These are the best in Cdramas tbh. Can you recommend me Cdramas that have this type of characters?

Ahh i know what you meant! 8D I actually refer to your last sentence:

'And their kissing are consensual, not forced on the FL^__^'

So I was wondering whether the kisses here are forced on the FL lol.

In this drama, did he finally choose and join the communist? Or he remains neutral until the end?

Is the kisses in this drama were forced? Like half the time?

They looked sooooo happy in their wedding pictorials! :D

With how adamant they tried to make his death so ambiguous during the whole durian of the drama (NO ONE literally knew what happened to him), its more lika a happy ending rather than an open ending to me. Since most of the clues kind of point that he survives the fall.

Thank you!

Yes, Cecilia's eyebrow is indeed iconic XD

8.5/10 - A very excellent investigation drama. It is also fresh and quite unique since the focus is on a sketch artist (police portraitist) and his ability to solve cases by sketching accurately despite it being impossible most of the times. The cases are pretty much complex with various twists thus it is not straightforward and easy like the normal investigation dramas. Because of this, the whole things made such an interesting watch.

Plus, they also focus on art/drawings and explain a rather interesting perspective for painters -- as in how they can affect the way they portrays things, using that as a mean of deception to fool people as well as achieving the outcome of what they desired or imagined through their paintings.

Shin Yi didnt join the police because of the lady that he cant forget. He joined the police since he wants to use his talents for the good cause esp after what happened that his art kills instead -- it is a wake up call for him as well as a 'redemption' to correct what he unintentionally did (despite he is innocent). We human are more complex than that, he somehow caused the death of Officer Lei unintentionally thus he feels guilty and the needs to do something to correct it thus using his arts to save people instead after that incident.

I dont understand what do you mean “it’s resolve but we won’t show you. Just know it happen.” They showed it clearly in the drama though? M is the Lady who asked Shen Yi to draw Officer Lei from 7 years before. Then they found out that she did plastic surgery to look like He Hong and pretend to be her for 7 years due to her MO of killing & how He Hong's facial structures never change from her 20's. They even tell us the fate of He Hong which is dead since M has taken over her identity and taking care of her child after that. Then the case resurface again after M fall to death. At that point, they knew the real mastermind is not M since she's just a pawn by her conversation with Du Cheng on the phone. It is explained during Du Cheng interrogation that M has stolen a vital documents about the real mastermind's criminal deeds and disappeared for 7 years (which is why we know now why she taken He Hong's identity). That is why once he real mastermind finds her whereabout, he asked the Library guy to kill her and frame Du Cheng in the process. They also caught the real mastermind at the end thus case close. Which part wasnt shown in the drama? The information is indeed like pieces of puzzles but it comes together perfectly at the end.

This is because the premise of the drama is the investigation process and not the prosecution/execution parts which involved prosecutor/lawyer. The drama was adamant from the start that they will only focus on the police side of the story which is the 2 main characters. That is why once they solved the case, when it is time to bring the cases to prosecutors, they no longer cover it since that is another long process and a whole different story. But I'm still appreciate it that they give us insight on what the punishment might be. Like the fraud case on the elderly, the most the criminals will get is 10 years max despite they caused the death by suicide of many victims through their deceptions. And we can see the most interesting part of it all where Shin Yi tried to take the matter into his hands by trying to get the criminal more time by confronting him face to face -- to have him stab him so the criminal's sentence will be a lot heavier which is attempting murder on police officer which unfortunately didnt go through as Du Cheng stopped him in the middle.

Regarding the tomboy girl, I thought it is close pretty neatly by having told us that they can know whether it is suicide by the way the knife position on the victims' body. We as the audiences knew she is telling the truth thus most likely she will found not guilty of murder.

You have to keep in mind the prosecution process will take months and years thus they cannot tell us the result of those people just after the cases are solved since it will look unnatural and didnt follow the flow of time intended in this story which is a couple of months from the time Shin Yi joined the police and until the case of 7 years from before are solved.
