Voice

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.

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 ;-)

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

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.

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.
