Exemplary Detective

A veteran police officer gets paired with a rookie, the older detective uses experience and contacts whilst the younger who doesn't show emotions, works on the criminals psyche. Throw in the mix a female reporter and you have an interesting murder mystery series. Solid character, good cast and a well paced storyline make this an enjoyable watch.

A satisfying plot with plenty to keep you guessing, but that is what I have come to expect from Korean dramas. My inability to remember the names did make it hard to follow at times, but it kept me watching.

What made the series stand out, though, was the wonderfully drawn relationships, for example between the detective and his sister and between the reporter and her editor. Perhaps the most compelling was between the convicted murderer and his daughter. Jo Jae-yoon played the father to perfection.

It's a different korean series and the violence is lower in camparison with other Mysterious kdramas. I really love it.

Everything is wonderful whodunit drama. There's great character development, the plot is Engaging. It's true korean style corrupt police prosecution story, quite similar in tone to Forest of Secrets. But the female lead just blows apart any logical human affection and rationale. How can she have split mind 99% of times as a reporter. You need to watch it to see how her character goes down to depths of complete humiliation of human behavior. Having emotions for killers is something unexplicable. Especially cold blooded murder and an innocent being executed If her character was kept more believable, I would have given it a 9. There's tonnes of comedy. But for me the female lead wrecks it apart by her completely unbelievable affection for the revealed killer

Excellent writer, director, leads, and supporting cast. I thoroughly enjoyed another fine Korean drama series with a twist at the end.
