Suspicious Partner

The blend of comedy and murder thriller makes things watchable at least for the first two thirds. Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun are cute together. She is likeable until she gets frustrating later on. He looks quite refined as a prosecutor. Later on after they hook up the romance back and forth becomes irritating and frustrating and the murder itself is more interesting. The serial killer is actually more fascinating than you would think initially and is suitably scary when necessary. Kwon Nara and Choi Jin Tae are the secondary leads who are both quite okay to watch. The series drags towards the latter part. The mysteries about the deaths take a long time to reveal - if things had been explained earlier it would have been better. 16 episodes would have sufficed. Then the irritating parts could have been left out.

I like the story and the actors but I feel like the story dragged a bit at the end so maybe few less episodes would've been better.

Now you will ask what's special about this drama afteral it's the same old "who is the murderer" kind of suspense. That's true but it was actually one of the reasons why I enjoyed it and other reason is why he do that and the answer will left you in amaze.

The Male Lead: I am not a drooly fan of JCW but I love his work, he is method actor. Character grows in him. Here he plays a prosecutor here, he knows the laws are meant to be broken but he takes them as the only way to find justice.

The Female lead: Nam Ji hyun was good too and her crying scenes felt so real.

The Villian: Finally the person that plays the villain... I won't say his name in case it's a spoiler but... I love him. He plays the villain so perfectly that I hate him but because he played it so perfectly, I loved it? His emotions can be felt and can tear you off. This is the first time I followed negative character with such intensity! He stole the show here. I felt like I feared him but was also curious about him. Just when I felt like I knew everything about this character, it turns out that I was wrong all along. Honestly, I can go on and on about the villian but I can't since it will give spoiler.

The love story between the two main lead is quite meaningful because it spans over years and it grows and evolves. Second lead couples are also cute in their own way.

Overall it is a well developed, heart-warming but also very thrilling story.

The female lead annoyed me so much and by the halfway point of this drama i had enough I muted her at some points, was not a likeable character. Great drama kinda longer than normal which made it seem quite slow at some points, male lead is one of my favourites could watch him in anything.

This was great! I love a good legal drama but of course this was focused mainly on solving one great mystery. It was compelling, suspenseful, and amusing as hell (I laughed ... a lot). It also happened to be romantic.

So I guess it had everything it needed!

The bad guy was very bad, but I could sometimes sympathise with him. Finding out the truth of what happened to make him the way he was took much of the series.

Anyway, enough rambling. If you're a fan of K-dramas and you haven't seen this yet, I recommend it highly.
