Say What You Saw

A serial killer on the loose,a young police woman with a traumatic childhood incident,and the ability of photographic memory A mimic crazy guy under arrest... And a mysterious x-detective watching over the investigations breath taking episodes

The impression of the title and released poster of this drama first caught my attention. Aside from Jang Hyuk's casting, investigative series is quite fun to watch. So I had high hope that this would give me rides of hurly-burly.

Well, this drama is not at best of my expectation, however, it never lets me go. You can expect layers of villains that hold grip the viewers to satisfy their curiosity. The dark vibes, the brutality, and gruesomeness of the killing method are linked to the thrilling elements. I say, I enjoyed the first episode to eight, quite emotional and intense, but after that, I feel like it started going downhill.

The story is heavy, but it seemed something was missing. I find some repeated scenes like running out of steam, and some storytelling needlessly convoluted. Character's development of the main two leads is reliable, while some are just plainly flat and overdone. Acting-wise is good, but not that superb. The plot twist doesn't surprise me since my guess was right.

Is this drama worth watching? of course, I'm just telling it's still entertaining.

Somewhat exaggerated photographic memory, but combined with intriguing criminal analysis makes it highly addictive from the beginning. For reasons, perhaps due to the need to drag on the story for a 16-episode series, common sense went free falling from around episode 10.

A normally busy road, suddenly becomes deserted where a senior cop lay unconscious from day till night at a traffic junction with a crashed car, a gun and nobody noticed. The serial killer seemed all powerful, he could access any office he wants, even in a police station there were gunshots and all the cops just watched a crime being committed and did nothing, there were also no security cameras to identify the perpetrator.

Poor editing or story writing ?

What made this experience even more special was the commitment to a high level of professionalism, without resorting to inappropriate conversations or embarrassing +18 scenes. The events were engaging, well-thought-out, and full of details that kept the viewer immersed without feeling bored. The characters were strong and well-developed, with a cohesive plot that made following the story highly enjoyable.

This series showcases how a dramatic work can be captivating and full of excitement without compromising values or sacrificing quality for cheap thrills. It managed to deliver a story rich with surprises and developments, reflecting the effort of the production team and the creativity infused into every scene. Watching this series was a refreshing experience, combining entertainment, suspense, and respect for audience standards, setting an example of what dramatic works should strive for.

This series is a mix of drama, absurdity, lack of logic and plot twists are just ridiculous. There are a lot of cool Korean detectives with the original storyline. But this one mixed up too many plots, unnecessary pathos and copied from US detectives. 5 points for a stunning lady detective hairstyle only :)
