Good rom com but dragged. U wont miss a thing even when u watch it in 1.5x speed.

The blend of comedy and murder thriller makes things watchable at least for the first two thirds. Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun are cute together. She is likeable until she gets frustrating later on. He looks quite refined as a prosecutor. Later on after they hook up the romance back and forth becomes irritating and frustrating and the murder itself is more interesting. The serial killer is actually more fascinating than you would think initially and is suitably scary when necessary. Kwon Nara and Choi Jin Tae are the secondary leads who are both quite okay to watch. The series drags towards the latter part. The mysteries about the deaths take a long time to reveal - if things had been explained earlier it would have been better. 16 episodes would have sufficed. Then the irritating parts could have been left out.

Like the story, because it's funny, romantic but with the mysterious touch, it's not boring. This drama show all kinds of emotions, which are perfectly portrayed by the actors, the leading couple had best chemistry, and the secondary characters are so funny that you fall in love with all the cast. The leading couple goes trough a lot of psychological changes, sometimes you're upset with them, sometimes you agree with their behavior, but this feels like life itself. This writer style always revealed part of the mystery in the half of the drama, but you need to go all the way to the end to get all pieces of the puzzle and for the romantic story, when the ending looks like it can happen to you, that's when the drama gets to portrayed real life.

The show is trying to do too many genres at once. Crime, thriller, romance, drama, and comedy is too much. While I acknowledge their effort, it just made the show all over the place. Tones changing constantly, it's hard to know what to feel and when. It's like watching two different shows.

Episodes are pretty slow. I genuinely feel like it should have concluded in 16 episodes. The flow would've been nicer and the sequence of events too. I usually finish a 16-episode drama in a few days. This one took me 4 days just to get to episode 7. I keep pausing out of distraction and doing something else. Basically, it's NOT a binge-able series.

However, I enjoyed everyone's acting. While JCW is great, this is one of his inferior roles. His overall performance was good, but something was missing. Female lead was okay, she plays the "unfiltered" quirky girl pretty well. However, the female lead's wardrobe was so bad. I don't think she wore a single appealing piece of clothing, it was awful to witness.

While both actors are good at acting, they simply didn't have the chemistry I thought they would. This feels harsh to say, but they did not look that good together.

The story, in my opinion, would have been much more interesting if they were genuinely and actively searching for the ex-boyfriend's real killer as soon as it happened. Overall, the plot could have used better writing and flow. Would I rewatch this? No. Would I recommend it to someone? Probably not.

I like the story and the actors but I feel like the story dragged a bit at the end so maybe few less episodes would've been better.
