Overall I love this drama. Small imperfection but still acceptable

Let me talk about the minuses since others have already written down the pluses. I give it 7, which means it's a good drama and still worth my time.

Chimera is known to kill someone using an especially chemical formulation, which means the perpetrator must be extremely smart and a faculty of chemistry graduation..... ;
Chimera 1 line of victims are people from Seoryun group. I wonder why both police and Seo Hyun Tae think that the killer is just an ordinary mere employee and never check on their scientist. No YouTube or internet at that time. Where does he get that knowledge?

Second, I wonder why none of both from the past and present checking The Legend of Chimera itself. If they do, at least they'll get a clue of the perpetrator's gender.

Third, is the most frustrating.... how come they'll just believe that Hoo Kyung is Chimera 2 just because Jae Hwan finds some of her past YouTube videos, knowing that she's a chemical graduate, and comparing her face using a mask which happens to be similar to the perpetrator's in mask face on a very blurry CCTV???
And how come his team suddenly 180 degrees change and just easily trust him... after the whole 15 eps, they never sided with Jae Hwan? Jae Hwan can't even provide solid proof on Hoo Kyung. Coz, while Hee Jun who always caught on cam at the scenes, Hoo Kyung is very clean. Never caught on cam, leaves her fingerprints or DNA. How on earth do they believe in Jae Hwan.

By ending it like this, both the past and the present police are just the same, catching the bad guy, not by some solid evidence base, but assumption base.

I have 2 unanswered questions, while why Hee Jun has to wait for 35 years to come back to Korea is explained, but Hoo Kyung has to wait for 35 years for her revenge?
Why does Yon Bok, the ex-police who got severely burned by a book, get the worst punishment? Why does he have to die after suffering extreme pain from his burned injuries for days, while the other 4 can die instantly by BOM.

Other than that, I love this drama. I love that they choose the perpetrator is between the main character. I believe this one will be perfect if it gives the police team at least 2 episodes to investigate Hoo Kyung.
