The premise is a great elevator pitch but watching 16 hours of this is not worth it.

I really enjoyed the show in the beginning as our MC adapts to the awkwardness of being a psychopath. The performances are all good and the music is solid, but once the main villain sees through the facade this show becomes a drag. The ml takes forever to get smart and go up against the real killer. This would have been better as a 12 episode show. Ep 8-12 are really hard to get through with all the redundant story beats. The FL was well written but why did they really had to make her dad’s case connect to the serial killer as well. So basic and boring The scenes at the mental hospital annoyed me and towards the end I was just hate watching it. This show isn’t for those in search of romance but the ml and fl have good chemistry and the end gives you a small hint that maybe their ship will sail. The guy who played the villain though was really good and it would have been fitting with the tone of the show if he was the main character instead. It would have been similar to the TV shows Dexter or You where the Mc is a serial killer and it would have been a better direction for the show.

A crowd pleaser romcom

There’s nothing particularly new or original about MRIAG, but where it thrives is on the chemistry of its two leads and bending some of the usual Kdrama tropes on its head. What I really enjoyed was the female lead who was confident and believed in herself and a male lead, though reserved wasn’t a jerk or purposely mean. All the typical misunderstandings were cleared up because the couple had good communication and built in trust. The show also features a wonderful second couple, who are both just cute, innocent and adorable. The whole cast had great chemistry.

The only thing I didn’t like was the pacing from ep 10-16. There were a lot of scenes that dragged and some story choices were too obvious. The whole arc around the second male lead was also overdone and could have been concluded sooner It’d be tough for me to ever rewatch the whole thing, but it’s still worth watching once, just to see Jang Ki-Yong’s smile.
