This is one of the most well-written dramas I have ever seen! Although not so much for the ending, it managed to keep me on my toes for 16 hours straight! Almost everything was well written. The plot, cinematography, seasoned casts - especially the two male/female leads - simply put: awesome, although it is not without flaws. It's been a while since I can actually feel the thrill of post-kdrama-marathon watching, yet I did after completing this drama. I was never a fan of melodrama, yet this drama grabbed my attention down to the last episode - except for the last 30 minutes. I will definitely look for this writer's work again.

Story: 9 out of 10 - I like how the writer addressed these problems in society. Some parts made me cringe as these cases do happen in real life.
Acting/Cast: 8 out of 10
Though it's true, that Yoon Shi Yoon could have done a bit better portraying Han Kang Ho. And if the writer made the twins with opposite personalities, then naturally their appearance could have been made a little different too. I.m.h.o, Han Kang Ho's physique was too clean with overacted-gangster-demeanor that I found myself fast-forwarding several scenes. It was a bit difficult for me to continue after the first few episodes because of his acting, but I'm glad I did continue.
Music: 10/10! The music/songs are beautiful! In my humble "commoner's" ear, they fit the scenes perfectly even amplified the emotions projected in some key scenes.
All in all, for those of you who like dramas about the law, this one is definitely recommended.

It grabbed my attention at first due to its theme, and as I predicted, watching this drama encouraged me to actually clean my house for real.. after each episode ^_^
Unfortunately, I couldn't find ony other strong points - other than the OSTs - throughout this whole series. The story was predictable enough, probably because it was adapted from webtoon. And the casts were.. well, there was absolutely no chemistry between main casts there, especially, with Bona. If only I can rate each actor separately -_- I couldn't feel her chemistry whatsoeverl with Ha Seok Jin, and she seemed "out-of-place" most of the time, which I assumed, was due to her being new..? Oh wellz, I guess she'll grow more as an actress when given a chance.

Let's start with my overall view:
To my eyes, as a mere kdrama fan, this drama was made with serious budget. The visual effects (CGI) were quite seamless and beautiful. I liked how smooth the switching takes between human-robot Nam Sin were, and I loved the action scenes! All-in-all, put this in your watch list if you haven't done so ^_^
Story:
Now, I'm a fan of sci-fi. I have seen the classic "AI" and "IRobot" and I loved them, so I would say that the story itself is not entirely original. However, I do find the screenwriting interesting - thumbs up for the screen writer - though I find many of the "decision" made by this cyborg can, in fact, only be made by human ^_^
Cast:
I love them! All main casts' acting was very good, I enjoyed seeing them portraying the characters. Kudos to Soe Kang Joon, as he successfully played two characters of opposite traits. At certain points, he managed to made me feel like punchin' the human Sin in the face *lol* That's how successful he was in playing the characters.
Music:
OSTs are beautiful and the scores fit the scenes well enough.
Rewatch value:
Well.. I never rewatch drama series.. ever.. so no comment on this one. hahaa..

This drama has the very aspect I like in Japanese dorama: Hard work and team work. It is a concept I often encounter in most jdoramas I've seen so far, and I agree. None of us can succeed alone, it takes hard work and team work. Hence, I give the story an 8.
As for the casts.. I have the most problem with seeing the two leads. I couldn't seem to feel the romance between the characters Sawatari Ichiko and Sakisaka Ryo. It's just.. not there.. But I loved all the other characters surrounding these two. I like how the writer made them grow and connected them to each other.
The music is okay - i guess.. I don't feel them out of place but it did not manage to make "the mark" in my brain the way some ost-s do.
I would probably not watch this drama again, but for first timers, I think it is worth the watch.
