I’m so glad I started watching this drama. Let me start by telling you how I experienced the pace before moving on to general things. Normally when a drama is good, I finish it within a day or 2, maybe 3. In this case, because of other distractions in life, it took me a little while longer. Normally, when I take longer.. drama’s feel a bit dragged out and I lose interest easily. That wasn’t the case with this one. Despite me having taken several days more to finish it, I still feel like I only started watching it this morning. “It’s already over?” Is the first thought in my mind right now. To me, that is a precious feeling to have. Story From the first episode on, I knew this drama was going to be exactly what that episode was promising it to be. A story about crimes, but with a well-balanced amount of humor and a diverse set of characters. The promise made in the first episode was made true until the very last. The story slowly developed through the episode and I didn’t feel like it wavered even once. If there were mistakes, I didn’t notice them. You start with a puzzle and missing pieces and as the events unfold, steadily more pieces start to fall together. And let’s not forget about the many morals this drama allows to come to discussion. It invites you to look at things from another perspective and to think differently. What is right and what is wrong? What makes wrong, wrong? I loved how the story slowly connected all the dots to create a picture. The end of this drama is relatively open. I was asked once if I preferred a happy or sad ending. This drama has a bit of both and I think.. that I really like this. There are two sides to the ending, which to me feels most realistic. You are given enough closure to know how things are likely to go from here, but at the same time it’s not the picture perfect ending you might be hoping for. And isn’t that just like real life? There can’t always be a happy ending. I love that and it gives this drama that extra touch for me to appreciate it. Acting/cast The cast was perhaps my favorite part of the drama. The actors that were casted were perfect for the roles they played. I was curious about seeing more of Seo In Guk after The Master’s Sun and man, am I glad I got to see him in the main lead! And let’s not forget about Park Bo Gum. I didn’t know him before this drama, but I sure do know him now. He may not have been the main, but he sure know how to steal a spotlight with his performance. I loved the interaction between Park Bo Gum and Seo In Guk. The overall chemistry between everyone was just so lovely to see. From the two brothers to the investigation team to the romance between the leads. Everything felt so touching and real, it touched me deeply. I was looking forward to the romance when I was just a few episodes in. But after having finished it, I find myself wishing so much I had seen more about the brotherhood. Still – the story balanced it well and I think every character and every actor has had their moment to shine. They made me laugh, smile, frown and cry. A special mention goes to D.O/Do Kyung Soo who plays the young Lee Jun Yeon. Had a friend not told me it was D.O from EXO, I would have never known. I did not recognize him at all! His performance was so strong and convincing. I didn’t really have a deep impression of him before, but after this drama I got to admit my view on him changed quite a bit. He definitely has great acting skills in him and I absolutely grew to love the character he played because of it! Music The music was just fine. Compared to the rest of my review I may not sound as enthusiastic, but that’s because if I am honest – I can’t really remember the music. What I remember is that it fitted the moods just right and it was always a good add to the scenes at hand. But there is not a song that jumped out and made me want to listen to it more than once. So though it was a good selection, I can’t say it caught my attention specifically. My attention was solely on the story and cast. Rewatch Value Oh yes, absolutely! The story may not have many surprising things left, but it was never once boring. And the sheer acting of the cast was such a joy that I wouldn’t mind seeing it again. No doubt, I’d find myself laughing about the same subtle jokes all over again. <3
