A little uneven, unsatisfying, and unfocused, but overall lighthearted fun

This is a great, lighthearted watch. The show won't blow you away in any category, but it's still good fun. Of the clear positives, Nam Ji Hyun is great as the earnest Bong Hee. I found Choi Tae Joon to be the scene stealer -- of his character Eun Hyun, you really want to hate him, but his motivations for doing less-than-honorable things are quickly explained and he helps hold the group together by playing love doctor, keeping them financially afloat, and supporting them in their main story investigations. Overall, the drama has some romantic moments that touch you and some thrilling moments that make you want more.

Unfortunately, there's some strong pacing problems. The thriller plot thread kicks off with a bang, but the story gets established, and the plot quickly gets confused about where it's going and what to do with itself. Similarly, the romance escalates quickly, settling into a "will-they-or-won't-they" equilibrium, but then quickly loses its momentum. Matching this, the last set of episodes felt really out of place, filled with filler to remind you that the show is supposed to be funny and romantic, while not really tying up the story together that well.

I think if the whole 20/40 episodes could be re-evaluated, re-shot and re-edited for its weak parts, this could be easily transformed into a 10 out of 10 show. There is a lot of potential here for a magnificent story, but unfortunately it doesn't all come together. As such, it's just an OK watch.
