Crime Scene Season 3 (2017)

In comparison to the 2 previous seasons, this was the weakest by far in terms of cast chemistry. Nonetheless, it was still a great season full of fun, thrill and twists that was on par with the other seasons.

Story - I love how crazy the characters and the cases in this season. There were a lot of shockingly - amazingly ridiculous - twists that up the stakes of each suspects. There multiple times that I was not able to decide on a firm prime suspect in the end. The finale was great in terms of calling back memorable moments all throughout the season and also it was the funniest out of all 12 episodes. Episode 3: The Police School Murder was my ultimate favorite episode. Other honorable mentions are: Ep 6: The Coffee Shop. Ep 9: The Mansion Case, and Ep 11: The Island Town. However, I find it lacking that we weren't shown more reactions after each case and how they sit down and talk while picking role cards.

Acting/Cast - My problem with the cast is their chemistry during earlier episodes were not that good. It took time before they get to mesh well together. My favorite in this season is Kim Ji Hoon with his amazing and funny acting alongside his great deductions. My favorite guests were NS Yoonji and Hani because it was their appearances that manage to bring the Crime Scene vibes back to being similar with the previous seasons. Adding Hong Jin Ho back at the later episodes also was a great choice as it managed to provide great moments for the show. I still wish the assistant detective was given a bigger role and I felt bad because he worked hard taking down notes during the case briefing but he was only asked of his opinion a few times.

Music - My opinion on this is the same as last season so I copied it down: I loved how they added music to some scenes that added flavor to the cases. There were romantic, funny, scary, and even sad music that were added during the episodes which was an improvement also in this season.

Rewatch Value: Similar to previous seasons, I rated it the lowest because there's no suspense and thrill anymore if you rewatch it.

Overall: 8.5/10. I scored it lowest out of the 3 seasons because there were some cases that I felt bored especially the earlier cases. But it was still a fun and amazing season that I felt sad that it ended.

Here's to hoping for a season 4!

One of the best variety shows ever!

At last, I have finished the whole Crime Scene series!

Personally, Season 2 is still my favorite season and had my favorite cast members, but the cast this season is still solid and the old cast guest-starred. I started Season 3 several years later, so this might have lead to my high expectations. While the cast was still fine, the cases for some episodes were very unrealistic/boring. I expected a better motive for murder for some of these cases. Still, the cast are super intelligent but there isn't as much banter/joking around as with the old cast.

Nonetheless, I will always love this crime concept, and I will forever love this show.
