The Good Detective

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.

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.

Overall, I think is a good drama. It is very entertaining with a good pace. The actors did a good job. Script is okay. However, I would hope they would spend more time on Oh Ji Hyuk story. On how his father was killed. Other than that, I really enjoy watching this drama.

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

...the character of the reporter is just not the best, no depth. The actress needs more practice in drama, it often felt like there was no real acting in there. The expressions and the emotions are not believable. Let's see in season 2.

HOWEVER, Do-Chang's sister! What a class act!! A-mazing actress! And Do-Chang's character himself is a whole world of emotions, brilliant acting as well. He takes you on the journey along with Ji-Hyeok who is perfect as the tortured and smart detective. All the actors are excellent. The plot is very well woven. Highly recommend it.

Enjoyed every minute of it.
