I thought the series got off to a sluggish start-the wife of a police officer is stalked and killed by a smooth-talking, elegant killer armed with a sort of ball peen hammer and the story drags while the officer grieves. Then, the authorities think they have the culprit, but another (female) officer-a call centre operative-claims the voice of the suspect does NOT match her recollection. Thus, we encounter the unique 'hitch' of this show: this girl has amazing hearing, a skill she has developed diligently. As work begins on other cases, this 'gift' plays a big part, and we suspect one day, she will identify the voice of our mysterious serial killer with the 'slugging device'.

The series contains forensic errors, and some unexplained plot elements, which savvy viewers in the Western Hemisphere will detect easily, but the gifted call Center Officer & the cop with the murdered wife, and their new team, combine for suspenseful episodes, if you stick with it. This 'gifted faculty' thing is catching on: we have Monk with his obsessive-compulsive attention to details; Sniffer, a Russian crime series with a human bloodhound; and the defunct LIE To ME about a human lie detector. It all makes for fun if you suspend your belief a bit. It all started with Sherlock Holmes, you know, in Victorian England, and his gift of observation & deduction.

So, despite its faults, and some grisly moments when the mysterious killer strikes, we are going to wait this one out TIL our gifted girl nails the bad guy.

Ignore the other review. Even among Korean dramas, which are generally very good, this one stands out.

First of all - couldn't the Call Center's IT geek locate a back up of the entire 9-1-1 call from the detective's wife? Or interview everyone on the Call Center's team to confirm her story? Clearly they appear to be able to hear most of the conversation(s).

And these detectives show up everywhere without even a stun gun? They are told the assailant has knives! It's episode 4 by the time we see a real gun. And why do they run every where? They need motorcyclyes for the size of those alleys. I actually appauled when I saw the first pop-up police light! Plus... can they ask the victim to send a photo of what they see? Am I the only one who thinks to do that?

I'm not a fan of the detective's acting. It got better once he stopped fighting the Director. I really like her character a lot.

It is a little complicated to have to repeat the video to read the dialogue. They talk very fast!

It is entertaining. Since it only has one season, I will finish watching.

I really really appreciate and enjoy this drama because it was kept me at edge of my sit any time I watch each Season. I and 15 friends really love it. I hope to watch more Season of it❤❤💯💯

I started watching Korean movies tv shows my sister told me about some. I loved the drama even though I'm late for when it came out. I've watched it a total of 6 times or more. Netflix didn't have season 3 but I was determined to find it on a Korean site and I did. Wished it ended differently. Good actors and actresses. A really good twist on cop show

Yes , although like some programs or movies there were some flaws ... But Damn , Hyuk Jang portrayed his character superbly . Although the other actors & actresses did a great job also , to me , it seemed as though the series centered on Hyuk Jang's character . Hey which I loved . We need more honest , moralistic , no fear , kinda people like that not only in every cop station but just in general population. I'm now getting ready to watch season 2 on Netflix & I sure hope I don't have to wait to long for Netflix to pick up 3 & 4

Jang hyuk is a brilliant actor and completely becomes the role .. why is he not in season 2??? He is stronger than any of the others except for the leading lady who has strong presence also.

The plot could be better researched in terms of forensic science and homogeneity but overall ok ...even if it loses momentum at times its still keeps ur curiosity ... the only problem is ur curiosity isn't satisfied in the end of part 2 ... and i still don't get who the villain is in relation to the detective.

No more to say but this damn program has a miniimum word count!!! Unbelievable!! I havw something to say about that!!!!

Just goes to show how important a script is. You can have good actors, and a good story with appropriate twists and cliffhangers. But the captions have got to go. I understand that it's incredibly complicated to try and convey the depth of what is happening in bite-size captions, especially with cultural and linguistical differences. But...really ? Almost every interaction between characters goes something like this: Character 1-"The suspect is in the alley"...Character 2-"So...what you're saying is that the suspect is in the alley?" I'm 5 episodes in and it just continues and continues. Quite maddening. Decently entertaining otherwise.

Maybe I'm being a little unfair, but I started watching this coming off the back of Stranger (Bimilui Soop) which is really very good and fancied watching another Korean series.

I like the cast and some of the stories within the main arc are pretty cool. But as others have said, the decisions made by the Golden Time Team can be really dumb. They seem to spend a crazy amount of time listening, watching, before actually doing! They display the time onscreen since the calls came in, which seems redundant when they are so slow to respond.

Also, unlike Stranger, the cops seem to carry guns more often (in Stranger they always seemed to have tasers) yet seem like they really don't want to use them at all, as they would rather wave them around than actually shoot them.

And yet......I must admit I'm enjoying it and its cheesiness. The cast are good enough to keep me watching, as are some of the contained stories.

You know im just 3 episodes in.

1 major flaw: all crime suspect didnt bother to kill the phone call to the police while continue to do whatever they want with the victims? Which moron does that?

And that woman is able to listen to miniscule sounds coming from a normal headset.

No doubt the drama could be suspenseful. But then again. Im not watching superman or supergirl.

Totally unrealistic.

I wonder whether they consulted someone from police before writting the script. A lot of things will stress you out and everyone who watched at least one series of CSI would be a better detective than those in Voice. On the other hand, the crimes are scary and very intense and I can only hope nothing like that actually goes on in Korea and if so, i hope those investigating them, are more competent.. What i liked.. hmm when it comes to Jang Hyuk i am a modest person, his martial arts skills made up for the lousy script and narrative. It isnt terrible, it is still watchable, but prepare to be forgiving ;-)

It's clear from this drama that the CSI and forensic evidence programs so common in the US and UK etc. haven't yet made it to Korea. There is constant snap diagnoses at a crime scene, often by detectives and without, for instance, a medical examination of a cause of feath, that for some reason is thought to be irrefutable. A prisoner is strangled leaving ligature marks amd dosed with gas and set on fire with a lighter afyer which the perp escapes out an open window and when the cops finally bust the door open theg immediately call it suicide. So... in a locked bathroom the now dead guy somehow manages to dose himself with gasoline and, without lighter or mstch burn himself up and it erases all signs of ligature marks... Just stupid. Other than pre-SCI bumbling and a woman who hears everything but only sectively (the basis of the show), this is entertaining.

The show isn't perfect but it's really entertaining. I think that's the main idea of every show. Don't compare the show to CSI or anything like that, because this is different. Season 1 has some really good episodes. Don't focus on the details and just enjoy the show.

I have watched the series twice in order to have a clear perspective. I find it is not thrilling as it was supposed to be.

Main actress

• Her performance in this series was not as good as I expected. The acting is neither expressive nor appropriate for this type of series. To declare, the acting has not changed dramatically and accordingly to the features of different situations. It was questionable to me when she is angry, sad, doubtful etc., her face is not changed at all. Her tone of voice is low across two seasons, and there is no such clear emphasization while talking. It makes the series mostly likely are unexpectedly low-key even when there are (various) climaxes.

Contents

• After I watched them the 2nd time, I figured out that, without the special ability of the main actress, it is extremely difficult to persuade viewers on how the cases are solved. Hence, the whole series exposed to heavily rely on the ability of the character in order to solve crimes.

• Due to the dependance on the main actress, the other actors and actresses are not able to be highlighted adequately. Sometimes they even seem desultory in the big picture.

Positive points

• The improvement in content development in season 2: more thrilling, more logic and more persuasive despite the unreasonable ending.

• There are many famous and talented actors and actresses that joined the series, which adds more colours for the whole series.

• A variety of cases, 1 case per episode - that makes it clear and easier to follow.

A team based at a emergency call centre called the golden time team are tasked with solving emergencies in the optimum time period before tragedy. Luckily the team is headed by a lady with exceptional hearing and contains a brilliant but loose cannon detective. Running through the series is the search for a clever serial killer who has murdered people in both their pasts. Has some good parts but overall disappointing in that the characters are mostly unlikeable or stupid. Plenty of needless blood and gore and repetitive scenes also marr the story

Review is based on season 1 & 2 available on Nexflix. There is no continuation though its a cliffhanger! The drama is ok. Season 1 is better than 2. There are 4 seasons in the drama. Too much betrayal.

My first KDrama Experience: Has a place on my Different and Worth Watching List.

The enhanced hearing premise is current medical research based, and interesting, but not quite enough to carry the series. Forensics don't apply or enter the picture, except as afterthoughts in any episode.

Plots tend to follow the world's major crime drama formulas, with much more Cop on Perp violence and firing random blanks! Sky shooting?! An air horn would be safer and make more sense! After basic firearm safety; the biggest rule I was taught about personal use of deadly force is blatantly ignored: "Never, ever, draw or point a weapon at a person unless you're ready to use it immediately to stop or prevent a fatal assault against yourself or others, then shoot to kill!" There's no such thing as a warning or peripheral shot, you're likely disarmed or dead by the time you re-aim! "

Culture shock! Families, friends, associates, supervisors and executives are constantly SCREAMING and threatening each other and subordinates; especially women, even to the point of battering with the verbal assaults! It seems like everyone but the call center seems to scream at each other. This type of personal violence & noise drives me to the FF & mute buttons and I personally, drop out if the story, thinking assault charges should be filed!

The 2nd season(Voice 2) : Has healthier, quieter, interpersonal interaction, newer homes and business locations, but I wonder if its just for US audiences. Story lines drag a lot more than 1st season.

Worth the watch.

I tried to ignore some of these things, but it's been 5 episodes and I can't help but cringe at them.

1- Response of the emergency call centres. Their actions make no sense - calling back a victim, not being able to trace the phone, slow responses to activate a team to investigate, etc.

2- MC's hearing is great, until someone walks loudly behind her - then suddenly she can't hear them at all

3- Main detective's shooting is all over the place and does not make sense. He makes sure suspects are out of reach, then shoots at chest level to kill instead of incapacitate

4- Dialogue doesn't make a lot of sense - eg. at one point they knew where the suspect and victim was, and was already on the way. Then they "figured out" the background between the suspect and the victim, and acted like it was a game-changer (it was not)

I could go into more details, but this feels like reason enough not to watch.

I'll still continue this series a little longer, and will come back and change this review if it gets better

The talent and quality of the artist has gone down considerably . Partly because of the PC nonsense, partly maybe because of sone fatigue? I also sense a level of over production now. There is so much scripted stuff that supposed to come across as spontaneous. Too much drama instead of singing. The amount of boring country music is truly annoying. I actually don't know anyone who likes country outside the US. It is what it is. On the Voice as with american idol rarely the vest talents win... Adam Lambert comes to mind who was second, behind a complete nobody smh. However saying this, it still makes for good entertainment and some, albeit now mediocre music. Still worth a watch!
