Unconvincing attempt to combine dark crime and supernatural mystery with fluffy romance

On the positive side the mystery and action were involving in the first 6 or 7 episodes and the drama managed to inject a lot of amusement even against a background of graphic violence without becoming tasteless and the characters and their interactions were fun to watch、 then for me it sagged in the middle due to over emphasis on romance and the plot lines flashbacks and characters from the past became so complicated I had to constantly re-wind to figure them out and I noticed the drama had to periodically stop while characters gave us a summary of who was related to who and how this was related to that and from there it just went downhill and the denouement was really too silly for words。most important of all the rationale for everything that happened、 on which the whole drama was predicated 、was completely undercut [spoiler comment: the whole drama devolves round Seong Mo's attempt for he and his mother to escape from his monster father and protect his mother but it ends with him confessing and getting a long prison sentence leaving his mother literally abandoned on her own in his flat with An unkindly packing his bags and leaving to follow the rainbow of romance (I mean doesn't this guy feel any sense of obligation to the man who saved him and brought him up and that man's mother??)]. some allowance I can make for the supernatural element in the story to excuse plot holes and coincidences but、 the use of the psychometric element was not well handled it、 was never convincing as a real part of An's character、 just something convenient to push the story forward and cover up for the usual police incompetence 。 to integrate such an ability and lead anything like a normal life would be far more difficult than shown in this drama if not impossible and the drama completely ignored that issue。 it seems to me they apparently wanted to combine a hard crime and supernatural drama with fluffy romance and soap opera elements and it just does not work 。if I read correctly the two stars here are k pop idols branching into drama and maybe this is why it was written in this way? the epilogue was too long and too syrupy。 not a re-watch for me I'm afraid。
