The trailer was promising but at the end I must say it was a disappointment. So many things that are unrealistic: Emergency call center, code zero, everybody would know what their job is but they wait to get orders from the female main character to track a mobile or a car? - One person drives within a few minutes from one crime scene, to a press conference to a 2nd crime scene and the local forces arrive at the same time or even later - one gets within three minutes to a crime scene, the other detective hasn't even left the police station in the same time - sometimes they need to press on the micro to talk and sometimes not - very slow reaction time, they wait at their desk for all the information and then run to their car, or they discuss instead of trying to find the victim, really? - and who would only walk around a corner or go into the interrogation room to make a confidential phone call? etc. I know it's TV but serious it's annyoing when they make such unrealistic scenes.

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.

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.

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