Good, was waiting for her to be great

I liked the first half of the show and the overall concept it started with on the 4 minutes. The first half was intriguing, perplexing, wonderfully confusing and very enjoyable and I enjoyed the chemistry between what was marketed as the main characters.
However, there was a shift somewhere that changed the whole dynamic of the show. The resolution of the show for me felt no better than the hated ‘it was all a dream’. It got really slow and focused too many really long scenes some characters in a single episode that you forget that there’s other characters in the show. I feel they did too much and followed too many characters to address in 8 episodes.
Maybe because the show only had 8 episodes they fumbled wrapping it up well and left so many loose ends that for me I needed tied.

The more you sit with it the more it hurts

This follows Jungdo who begins starts off as a martial arts expert who just wants to have fun. One event in which he saves an officer’s life leads him into the police service where he volunteers as a martial officer who hunts rogue criminals under house arrest.
I loved the initial humour of the show, it was interesting to watch Woobin in this movie, his charisma and ability to play the part of this younger guy who just wants to have fun and then gets this higher calling that makes him take stuff seriously finally.
However, I think the dark themes of child abuse and hunting pedofiles did not merge well with the action comedy genre of the show.
While the jokes were funny most of the time, it was jarring to have a joke or quirky quip be followed by the hunt for some notorious convicted child abuser.
