Hilarious

When I saw the preview I had to watch. I think I watched this because the main character was in Vegabond.

I have said this in just about all my reviews about what I like and dislike in Korean dramas. I love love love the action and comedy but I seriously am starting to hate the cliche romances. I most certainly didn't care for the romance in this.

All of the actors played their characters really well. Some had the chemistry and some did not. I also hate being hard on female Korean actresses but I seriously can't stand the way they portray the Korean women. I seriously can't!!

The premise of this series consists of bumbling newbie detectives who grow towards the end. How they made it was hilarious in itself. It sort of had that Naked Gun, Who's Harry Crumb vibe to it.

This is a series where you can just watch just to get a laugh out with a hint of mystery and unfortunately romance. If it weren't for the romance stuff I would given this a higher score.

Good watch

I'm not familiar with the main character but I'm pretty sure I seen him in something other than a Korean drama but I can't remember. I watched this mainly because of Park Sung Woong who played chief Kang Dong Cheol and Go Gyu Pil who played the owner of that tavern. These two have grown on me since I started watching Korean dramas last year.

I was going to watch this last year but I had watched The Tunnel-which I loved-and Signal-which was OK. Seeing that this one almost had the same premise, I put Life On Mars on the back burner for the moment.

This series was a bit slow which I was OK with because I was able to take my time and watch. Towards the end the episodes were a bit shorter which went by fast so I ended up being able to watching the last six episodes in one day.

I began watching these Korean dramas for the action, drama, comedy, and chemistry and this one had all the above.

I liked the way they did this. It gave me a glimpse of what a person could experience while being in a coma.

I liked all of the characters except for the female...Oy! Her facial expressions always made her look like she'd been goosed and her voice was annoying. I found myself cringing every time she said something.
I did like how they made her bad a** but then they turned around and made her weak. Ugh!!

I'm glad there was no cliche romance in this!!

I will say I wasn't too thrilled about the last two episodes. That's the problem I've noticed with these Korean dramas. It's like the writers don't know how to end their final episodes. It didn't make any sense. They made it seem as if the main character who was in a coma had dreams of the past which actually did happen, then he wakes from the coma only to be disappointed with the present and then was able to go back to the past?? My question is did he ever come out of the coma or did he commit suicide? The epilogue made it seem as if they were going to have a sequel. Since this was 2.5 years ago I highly doubt it.

I hate when Korea leave stuff like this up in the air.

All in all, I'm glad I remembered to watch this. In my opinion The Tunnel was better but this one was also good to watch.

Hope there's a second season

Even though this series was enjoyable to watch I'm being generous with my ratings.

The first 10 episodes were awesome but somewhere after the tenth episode the original plot got lost. It went in a whole new direction! The original plot didn't lose it's twist so I don't know why the sudden change happened. The second twist did. It left me scratching my head.

Usually Kdramas lose their focus and starts going in another direction and this was one of them. It made me angry that it did that. Plus the whole reasoning behind why the ML's skills were the way they were was just thrown into the very last episode. The FL to me was just a waste. I don't get why I never like female Korean actresses but I try to like them I do. To me they're just there for looks I guess. I'm not for the looks, I'm for the skills and the FL didn't have it.

Wish it had more episodes

When I saw that Ma Dong Seok-Bad Guys. Oh Man Suk-Partners For Justice, Lee Deok Hwa-Giant, Suspicious Lawyer-shows I've watched-was in this I had to watch.

The first few episodes were so slow that I almost stopped watching it. By episode 6 I was hooked!

There was no sappy cliche romance in this series at all. Something that I have come to despise in Korean dramas.

If you like revenge shows then you will like this. I found myself laughing, whooping, and clapping when each episode was over. There were two episodes where it nearly brought me to tears but I held strong and didn't bawl.

I never rewatch Korean shows but for the sake of it, I gave it a decent number for a rewatch.

Revenge, no sappiness, yes, one will love this drama.

Leia Mais

If you're looking for revenge....this aint it

Well, I made it to episode 7 before deciding to just drop this all together.

I absolutely love revenge dramas. It's what led me to start watching Korean dramas in the first place.

I'm not familiar with none of the three female leads. I've never seen any of these three in any dramas I've watched since the summer of 2020.

I liked the chemistry of the cast but there was no strong connections.

You get the proverbial bully and politics thrown in and you get some type of drama.

I love strong leads but when I get 3 strong female leads I blow out a sigh of relief because Korean actresses are always portrayed to be stupid and poor. Yes, you have three females each with different backgrounds-there always have to be that one token super rich female-but they all came together to become the best friends ever. It even got to the point where they were 언니 (unnies) throughout this drama. That's the good part.

The bad: THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO REVENGE IN THIS NONE WHATSOEVER!!!! The only thing that happened from the seven episodes I watched was glue in the chair, water thrown on you, spiked drink....pranks, not revenge.
Then it turned into a so-called 'peaceful revenge'. Peaceful revenge??? What the heck is peaceful revenge??? I never even heard of that! In one episode one character explained this whole drama at best: females getting together and hanging out because that's all it was.

Then the end of the seventh episode made absolutely no sense: each female gets threatening notes claiming they know what these ladies did.....I'm thinking what did they do? No seriously, what did they do besides get together and have no clue as to how to exact revenge on their husbands and a principle?
All this drama was about was these ladies and a teenager getting together just to hang out.

The music was even worse. They kept playing that Italian song that builds up. To this day I don't even know what the name of that song is. I just know it's been played ever since I was a kid and I've been around for a few decades (not saying how many).

The screenwriters obviously didn't do any homework on how to exact revenge people who deserve it. This was the reason I dropped this drama. It dragged and it became the same thing in every episode. No build up, no revenge, no nothing.

Leia Mais

Well....I made it to episode 10 a while ago and haven't went back since. Why? Because every episode is the same: you get a mediocre case and the only person who can save the day is attorney Woo Yong Woo...I'm not going to go through the whole introduction of palondromes because it became annoying by the 3rd episode to me.

The series was fun to watch for the first few but then it became monotonous. The writers made the other attorneys mediocre compared to Young Woo. Nobody could figure things out but her. It made me grit my teeth a lot. Those kind of shows irk my nerves. At first these people were on top of their game but then they became stupid throughout the series. Made me wonder why were they there? It was like they could no longer fend for themselves. They needed Yong Woo to help.

The cast is perfect though. I like the whole cast except for the other female lawyer who worked at the other law firm. She just seemed out of place to me.

Once again there's that irksome romance scenario that always gets me. If it wasn't done in such a childish way then maybe I would be gung ho about it but I could see where it was going after the 5th episode. That was another reason I wasn't too thrilled about finishing this series.

I seen 10 episodes and I guess that was enough. Since every episode seemed the same I feel like I'm not missing anything.

There's going to be a second season in 2024. Who knows if I'll go back to finishing this. I just know I'm dropping it for now.

I had a job where it interfered with the times I binge on Korean dramas so I didn't have anything to fall on when I came home from work.
I recently stopped working at that job so now I have my times back to where I can binge watch Korean dramas all day. But that will stop once I start back working, lol!

I'm in the middle of watching Ghost Doctor but that series won't be over until close to the end of this month so I need something to watch until that series is done. I can't binge watch that show, dang nabbit!

Anyway, I went into this blind. I didn't read the synopsis I just started watching because I saw fighting in it.

One should know by now that any drama that have some form of fighting to it I will be watching and this had a tremendous amount of it.
I'm not familiar with the main male lead. I knew I saw him in something but I couldn't put my finger on it until I searched and realized he was in Goblin. I only watched half of the first episode before I dropped it. It had that Disney love at first sight feel to it and I seriously can't stand dramas like that.
This guy was phenomenal but the second male lead was better! OK, not to make it seem like I liked one better than the other it's just that I don't know who neither are but the second male lead outshined the main lead. As a matter of fact the whole cast outshined in this series.

This drama gave me a true glimpse of what a split personality disorder looks like. I know it had a lighter touch to it but it made me more aware of how this disorder works.
It threw me for a loop because I wasn't expecting what I was expecting. Like I said I went into this series blind meaning I didn't know what the series would be about.

I will say the last few episodes lost it's luster for me. Every bad guy played their role to a 'T'. The last bad guy was weak and his purpose for doing what he was doing was just plain stupid.

As others have said, the bromance in this was tremendously awesome. I didn't want it to end.

I barely give any Kdramas a 10 because I sometimes feel that given it a 10 is an exaggeration but this is one of those dramas that I could most definitely rewatch again that it deserves more than a 10.

Leia Mais

I usually stay away from giving Kdramas a rating of 10 because reviewers may think one is over exaggerating how the drama was. So in my opinion I'm not exaggerating, lol.

I saw the US preview when it first aired but never watched the series because here in the US shows have a tendency of getting canned right off the block and I didn't want to get hooked if that happened. When I saw on each Korean episode that this was loosely based off the American version I went to check and was surprised to see that US version actually lasted for 9 seasons. So with that being said I can't compare the two because I've only watched the Korean version.

I fairly enjoyed each and every episode and all of the cast members except the true antagonist who came into the series midway through. I won't lower my rating even though the series took a different turn from from episode 5 and on and how the antagonist was thrown in. I think his character was just thrown in just to stretch out the series.

Every episode had me grinning from ear to ear and the last two had me fighting back some tears. I love love love dramas that have the capability of getting every last emotion out of me.
I was a bit bummed because it stated it had action in it but sadly enough there was no action in none of the episodes. Before anybody disagrees, my definition of action is fighting scenes, car chases, that sort of thing but I guess some of these dramas that state action means someone doing something.

I also loved the two male lead's chemistry. To me it was like the best father and son duo ever. I love how Koreans can get along with each other without worrying about age differences.

As usual I always comment on the last episode because to me that brings closure to the whole series if it's done right. I can't complain about how it ended as oppose to the other endings of drama series I've watched. I wanted a tiny bit more of justice being served but I had to take what I can get.

All in all, this was a good series to watch for me.

I finished this drama last night and was going to drop this after the fifth episode. It wasn't a bad thriller, some episodes were just really really slow.

I like a good mystery every now and then and this series had my mouth gaped open on several moments. What I thought was what I thought wasn't what I thought. A part of that had my nerves on end while the rest I was like OK, I see where they're going with this.

I went in watching this not being familiar with the main male lead. I remember seeing the second male lead in a drama but couldn't remember what I seen him in which and it led me to finding what I seen him in that was driving me nuts. I seen him in Giant. He was just a teenager at that time though.
His character choice sort of grated my nerves. It was a back and forth for the most of the series. At some points I was thinking seriously, make up your mind which way you want to go!

From the dramas I've seen so far within a year, it was hard for me to get use barely seeing any comedy or fighting. Everything was really serious so it was a bit different from what I usually watch.

I would've given this a lower score but the last few episodes really drew me in and I almost bawled at one on point. If a drama can get me to do that then I would say it's alright in my book.

Leia Mais

I wasn't going to watch this because it stated it was supernatural and I usually stay away from sci-fi stuff but this series was absolutely awesome!!

From the fighting scenes to the wonderful chemistry this cast had this series definitely deserves a second watch.

I laughed, held back some tears, got angry, got happy-man, this series did so much justice I would be shocked if anybody gave this a low score.

I recognized some familiar faces that played in other series but I wasn't familiar with the two male leads.

Whenever I see a person who has mad fighting skills and I'm unfamiliar with them I will go and find something else they're in and will watch that and I will have to do that because of the two main male leads and the female who also could fight. She was awesome.

I liked the fact that this also didn't have that cliche romance stuff. I'm steering clear of Korean romances at the moment.

I'm glad a season 2 will be in the making but is dismayed that it will come out next year. All in all as I said before, this deserves a re-watch.

If you like love sick dramas then you'll love this

I tried watching this because it was considered to be have suspense and action with romance on the side. Unfortunately it's majority oozing, drippy romance with a touch of comedy and very little suspense.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who came to watch this because of The K 2 and Healer.

I was disappointed because the first 21 episodes I watched were the same lovey dovey eye roll that I have tried to avoid in a lot of Kdramas.

Now when I first started watching Kdramas which was last June or July of 2020 I became hooked. Not because of the romance but the action and drama itself.

This one I just couldn't stomach because of the main female lead. A lot of Kdramas always have the female lead playing the love sick idiot and it's really ad nauseum for me.

If I was a lovesick preteen or teenager then this would've worked but I'm no longer that. I also don't mind a little romance but this was overly done.

It will have to go on the back burner for the time being for me.

I don't want this to be a long winded review and I don't want to give any spoilers away but this series isn't for the faint of heart. It is dark and gritty to the core, If this is something you can't handle then please don't watch.

I remember back in my high school days I had two years of JROTC. It's not the same as being in the military but you get a taste of what it's like. I was going to join the Marines but at that time women were having problems in the military and I have issues with people who were the same age as me getting in my face telling me what to do because their rank was higher than mine. I even had issues with the actual sergeant majors telling me what to do because they knew they could. I was dismissed from the platoon so many times. I quickly decided going into the military just wasn't for me.
Watching this series reminded me why I made that choice.

This series is mainly one toned but thankfully there were some comical elements to lighten up the atmosphere a little. I don't know if the series would've made it if Koo Kyo Hwan wasn't in it. Kim Sung Kyun threw me for a loop because I was just so use to seeing his demeanor in Fiery Priest that I forgot he can be serious and he was.

If you've ever been bullied or you were one then this may not be a thing to watch. I gave it a low rewatch value because this is something I can't watch twice. There were moments where I was glad that things happened the way it did but overall this is real and it does happen not only in the military but in the police force as well.

So I hate Korean romance dramas and I seriously hate the 'enemies to lovers' type of dramas and unfortunately that's what this drama is. Everything I despise in a Korean drama is this drama so I ended up dropping it. For one the FL was just plain stupid and the ML was just plain annoying. I got tired of looking at his old throbbing veined hands and people's feet walking across a floor. I also thought the FL was going to stick with getting rid of her so-called arranged marriage but I learn the two main characters will fall for each other...ugh.

The villain made no sense but I guess that's because I stopped watching this drama. Once I read the synopsis for the rest of the episodes I just did a eye roll and took it off my list.

I started watching Korean dramas back in the summer of 2020 after the unexpected death of my father. The action Korean dramas helped me heal and I tried to find any and every action Kdrama out there. It's been 4 years since I started watching Korean dramas but for the past year and a half all I keep stumbling across are cringe worthy romance dramas...THAT'S IT!! I've dropped more Kdramas over the past year and a half and is losing hope. Why can't I find a nice Korean drama that don't have cringe worthy romance in it??? Why???

Leia Mais

No I didn't come to watch this because of the 'drool' factor. I'm no longer a hopeless romantic teenager thank goodness. So I'm not basing my review off of looks. I came to watch this because of Jung Man Shik. I like this guy ever since I saw him in Man To Man. I will watch anything he's in. Same goes for Heo Jae Ho and Cha Tae Hyun-even though he's only in one episode. I like the main male lead but for some odd reason I'm not digging his character choice in this drama.

My goal was to watch this when it was completed but I jumped the gun and started watching before it's done. The worse thing was that I made it to episode 10 before I realized that was the last one until the others aired. Stopping the drama and going back to it made it worse.

The first few episodes almost made me drop this. Here's why: the comedic elements at times were just too over the top. When it tries too hard to be funny it's usually not.

The second ML. who played as the cop who got let go. He started off promising but ended up looking like a weak slow witted chicken. I don't care for characters like that.

The other supporting male lead who had the green hair...that is truly disturbing to look at because he don't look right.

Now to the main FL...O....M....G....I really hate ragging on female Korean actresses but it can't be helped. When she entered on to the scene they made her look bad a** and I was digging it. I was thinking finally another female Korean actress who can fight and is tough....Nope...she is turning out to be that love sick dimwitted female I've come to despise! The fact that she constantly bullies the main ML and is constantly arresting him for no reason makes my blood boil! If that's not police brutality I don't know what is. Plus I'm a bit confused...In a flashback she's younger than the main ML. Now all of a sudden they're like the same age but she looks way older than the main ML! Her annoying sense of duty makes me want to punch her in her botox looking lips!!!

When I went back to watching, episode 11, I can't decide if I want to watch the rest of this drama. I am curious as to who the guilty culprit is but all of the over the top comedic scenes and the annoying main FL is making it easier for me to skip the rest. I also can pretty much deduce the last episode will most likely be a let down anyway. Last episodes of Korean dramas usually are.

Leia Mais

Disappointing to say the least

Well, I'm definitely not happy about this drama. When I saw who the second ML was I just knew I would be in for a treat. The dramas I've seen Cha Tae Hyun has been a treat for me even though he was in only one episode in Cafe Minamdang I enjoyed that episode because of how well he played his role.
I get attached to anybody who's known for their martial art skills. I don't know why but I've always been that way ever since I was a kid.

The episodes I've watched so far has left me feeling so underwhelmed. The one thing that grates my nerves is actors who can actually fight pretending that they can't. Cha Tae Hyun played a dim wit and I hate characters like that. With the constant bashing by the first ML and his team pitting against him because of how 'cool, suave, and sophisticate' the main ML was got to be pretty irksome. I was so disappointed in what I was watching.
Each episode is different but there's no 'oomph' in none of them. There's no suspense, no build up, no element of surprise...nothing. The cases are rather dismal to say the least.
The main ML got to be annoying pretty quick. There wasn't a moment that went by where he felt the need to boast about how good looking and smart he was and how he shot down anybody who he felt wasn't on his level.

The animation of his brain picking up something that could be solved and his fake snapping of his fingers annoyed the heck out of me. This was done on numerous occasions in every episode. I could go on and on but that will just lead me to sounding like a crabby old a** which dramas like this leads me to be.

I'm so angry at this supposedly police drama right now. I even fell for the positive reviews! I said out loud that this needs to be dropped but I tried to stretch it out because I don't have any other Korean dramas lined up. There will be sequels to the other dramas that I've watched so I guess I'm going to have to wait for that.
