Voice

She can hear every useless sound but she can't hear the footsteps and keyboard of Mo tae goo in the first floor. But when they go up to the second floor, she can hear his cannonball in his hand. The first half of the series is good but there are too many logic errors made me crazy.

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.

It's clear from this drama that the CSI and forensic evidence programs so common in the US and UK etc. haven't yet made it to Korea. There is constant snap diagnoses at a crime scene, often by detectives and without, for instance, a medical examination of a cause of feath, that for some reason is thought to be irrefutable. A prisoner is strangled leaving ligature marks amd dosed with gas and set on fire with a lighter afyer which the perp escapes out an open window and when the cops finally bust the door open theg immediately call it suicide. So... in a locked bathroom the now dead guy somehow manages to dose himself with gasoline and, without lighter or mstch burn himself up and it erases all signs of ligature marks... Just stupid. Other than pre-SCI bumbling and a woman who hears everything but only sectively (the basis of the show), this is entertaining.

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.
