Missing on something......
The actors did a good job, but i also think that for this genre they are not suitable anymore (the main leads i mean). Even if the female lead made a name through this genre, i think it is time they both change the direction of their career, taking on more mature roles..I don't know but the romantic story was missing on something...
And then again i have some problems with the script, so many questions and like always why are side characters used like fillers? I would have loved to know more about the five spiritual weapons and the maid (Xue )...
I wouldn't say it was a bad drama but it is wasn't that good either (also the ending could have been better).
In fact i will not rewatch it.
8/10 for me

impressive, worth the watch!
The acting was really top notch, like Yoo Ji Tae actually builded up for this role, i'm really impressed , like wow , what a transformation!!All the protagonists did a really good job, i really appreciated Nam joo hyuk 's acting here, he did improved throughout the years.
Since he is enlisting soon or maybe he has already enlisted, we may not had a second season that soon.
I enjoyed the watch, it wasn't boring.
I was rooting for the "vigilante" lol. I get where he came from, and yes at the end of the day it actually seems like the bad guys win.
9/10 because it was an easy watch, and yes i want to boost the ratings on this one lol!

To be a good mother is not that easy....
I really liked the storyline of this drama. It made me reconsider my relationshipp with my own mother, it made me think about how much we children often forget about all the sacrifices our parents made for us... In today 's world, it is really not easy to raise a child, to give him proper eductaion not just instruction.Parents are not perfect, they were not born parents, they learn along the way, they make mistakes, everybody makes mistakes, most important we need to acknowledge our mistakes and ask for forgiveness.
I loved the courage of the mother, the warmth of the villagers, the unconditionnal love between two lovers....
And last take home message, at least for me, to archieve revenge is not an easy task, are we really ready to deceive or leave behind our loved ones just to archieve justice? was it worth it? maybe yes, or maybe no.....
I actually struggled to finish this drama, i got bored somehow in the middle and i had to forced myself to finish it, they were also some unecessary characters that could have easily been taken out without it affecting the drama, hence the 8/10.

Great show.... but somehow incompleted!
Sooo, this drama was nice, i mean the first half of this drama was excellent, the second half was less impressive....by trying to do too many things , the drama kind of lost his main purpose...i really much liked the chairman's daughter and director Park couple, they added the spiciness to this drama, i'm always for kisses and whatever in a couple, but in this case i really much appreciated the quiet and playful type of love, the chemistry was there.
I hope the writer had given us more inside in the main character life, there were so many unfinished things, like what about her "love interest"? how did she deal with her personal issues (health and family)?
Some plot line were also very unecessary (the prosecutor line or whatever could have easily been cut out, it wouldn't have changed anything in this drama).
Overall i liked this drama and i recommend it. It is always nice to see a well done drama centered on working women thriving for power and doing it the right way, i give this drama an 8.5/10.

Kim nam Gil does not dissapoint!
This drama actually keeps his promise, there were no subplots or whatever writers always use to drag the drama. And knowing that the drama was based on a true story it was really well executed, all the cast did a great job at portraying their characters.It's true that it was slow and somehow predictable, but since this is based on a true story, i kind of expected it. Because in real life it is not so easy to solve a crime case and to be a profiler at the time was not something common.
So i will give this drama an 8.5/10, and i totally recommend it, though it is not the kind of drama i would rewatch lol.

Another C-drama i am dropping this year! what is happening in C-dramaland!?
Sooo where do i start? yes i am about to rant.1- The first scenes were a huge dissapointment for me, like damn give us some nice CGI.
2- I really couldn't feel the chemistry between the leads and that is the reason why i am dropping this drama, i mean the plot was nothing new (the same plot that has been used and re-used several times lol) and at this point so many things didn't make sense to me (Was i surprised no lol, at least the romantic part could have saved it for me).
3- I don't recommend it, there are better dramas out there, no need to waste your time watching this, hence the rating.

i watched the last episodes at night, not sure it was a good idea lol!
The gloomy vibe, the ACTING everything was on point!!! and at times, humans can be scarier than ghosts.i always wonder how Kim Hae Sook manages to play those villians roles so well, i really got the dark vibes and goosebumps from her once again , kudos to her!
Even if you don't like Kim Tae Ri for any reason, you have to give her credits for her acting, like yes the girl can act! since they didn't use any make up or whatever to differenciate San yeong from the ghost, it was crucial for her to use her facial expressions to nail it and she delivered!
Hong Kyung ( the young police officer), omg how can he be this good at acting!? he was also one of the main leads in " weak hero class one " i was once more mesmerized by his acting, i'll be looking forward his next projects.
Oh Se jong, phenomenal as usual!it is always nice to watch him act, his character here is so different from the one from "it's okay not to be okay" this shows how GREAT he is.
Another actor i really like for his versatility even if he is always playing a supporting role, is actor Kim Won Hae, whenever he is in a drama i do not hesitate to watch it lol! And this time too i wasn't dissapointed.
Overall for me it's an 8.5/10! These days k-dramaland is on fire, the dramas are of great quality and you can tell they worked really hard, thank you and keep going, i have so many dramas to watch and review!!!!

Best acting of 2024 as of now with a "could be better " plot wise!
To be fair, for me the rating is actually something like 8.8/10.As i said earlier, the acting is really good on this one, the whole cast did a FANTASTIC JOB, but the LEAD COUPLE was really really well casted! a round of applause to them, i think they actually carried this drama, i hope they will win a lot of awards, they deserve it.
There were too many cliches, i hope this drama was more original, less predictable....
Some characters were unrealistic, like come on, in real life this would have never happened.
The villain could have been written better. I hope Park Sung Hoon will get the recognition he deserves and maybe play the good guy next time lol.
I actually recommend it, watch it and make your own opinion of it, don't be swayed by the bad reviews. It is not the perfect drama but it is enjoyable, and Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won are the lead! like come on, what else do you need to give it a try!?

Too slow for me..
From the first episode i was forcing myself to get into the story, but i couldn't...after 3 episodes i called it a quit!Acting was top notch, the main actresses and actors did a phenomenal job, that is why i tried to hang in there lol
Overall the vibe was too dark and the story was too slow to unfold and i lost my patience.
Maybe it is not my favourite type of drama, so i can't say it is bad.
for the rewatch value i just hope i can finish it lol, but i think i wouldn't rewatch it or pick it up where i left it...
I would give it a 6.5/10.

Can i have a decent watch this year!? Jeez
So, it has been a long time since i wrote a review, but This time i need to do it.Since i am not a chinese person i can't get all the details about the leads poor mandarin , the rent and so many other details that may not be accurate..If i were, those details would have make me drop the drama asap lol.
I actually felt for the female lead , BUT then the story needs to move forward. I can't keep on watching the same flashback again and again, after 9 episodes i started to fast-forward and that was the moment i knew i had to drop it.
And then damn it ! can't they just have a TALK!? like come on! you guys are adults, and there again if they actually had a talk like normal people do, the drama would have been 10 episodes long ahahahahah. But no, they had to romanticise sleep walking in a bed guy (i get were the female lead comes from, but this is not something that needs to be promoted). Just the thought of getting through this draggy story and somehow boring and not moving forward, helped me made the final decision to drop it. Maybe i will watch and edit on youtube to see if the female lead will ever get out of the zoombie phase lol and confess to the male lead.
Would not recommend it, would not rewatch it lol , i couldn't even finish it in the first place hahah: 4.5/10 for me.

Didn't work on me...
The storyline is interesting and even unique if i may say.It is also funny.
Somehow the chemistry between the leads is missing. And i seriously dislike the make lead up to this point.
It is a pity i couldn't manage to finish this drama, but i was forcing myself after episode 8, and the moment i started doing it i knew the time had come for me to drop it.
I hope i will a catch a decent watch this year, seems like a very difficult task for me ahahha, nonetheless 7.5/10. If you are not interested on the romantic part and if you are focused on the message the drama is trying to pass on, this drama may be for you! Although i like the original script , i was also looking for something romantic.

C-dramaland is really underwhelming this year
The acting was a joke (the FL, her mother ..etc i can't stand their acting), even if i usually like the ML (not in this drama obviously!) i just couldn't get into his character.The production was very very poor, like how come the dogs have a collar !? at that time??? if your are making a period drama , please do make a period drama. Didn't the bodies the FL examinated stink ? then why wasn't she hinting at it, acting like those were fresh bodies....I mean make it make sense PLEASE!
After going painfully through 5 episodes, i gracefully decided to show myself some mercy and quit watching this show.
I don't recommend it.
