I’m usually not one to binge-watch a tv series, but Crime Puzzle made me sit on the couch for the whole 9 hours (sleepiness took over so I had to wait till next day to finish the last episode). The title stayed true to itself as every episode seem to put things together. We all started with a lot of questions and suspicions from episode 1 then we get to every episode where every puzzle pieces are put together. I like the fact that all my questions were answered even before the last episode so it gave me time to digest it and enjoy the satisfaction in episode 10. I feel that 10 episodes are not enough, yet I do think they wrapped the story in a way that sort of satisfied me. I said sort of satisfied me because if you watch this drama, you’ll understand that it seems that the first part of the story had been resolved, but there are certain issues that have not been dealt or discovered yet. I’m not sure what the production has decided but I do think, like most crime dramas out there, they did open up the possibility of another season.

Yoon Kye Sang definitely understood his character! It’s his first drama I’ve ever watched and I guarantee you that he did not disappoint. Kudos to the other cast members too that made the drama intense and nerve-wracking! If I must say, Go Ah Sung didn’t really convince me until the last episode. I can’t point out of it’s her acting or was it the lack of character development? I do want to see her character more though because like what I mentioned, she managed to get me on the same boat as her towards the end. I also feel that the chemistry between the leads didn’t really show until towards the last few episodes which didn’t make me sympathize with the “lover” part of the plot. Then again it’s a crime drama so what do I expect? I can point out more what I liked about this drama but I’m afraid I’ll reveal some information that for me would be better to discover while watching the drama.

The cinematography was one of the best I’ve seen in Korean dramas! The camera angle, including parts where the camera seem shaky, made a lot of scenes more intense and/or emotional. This drama is also not afraid of blood so if you are not a fan, then I suggest to try to anticipate when such bloody scenes will show up (trust me it’s pretty obvious) then just look a way. I like how they show such scenes though. It really made this drama seem so real.

Overall this drama is one of those dramas that you won’t get tired binge-watching it. Unless of course you don’t like bloody scenes, so you’ll probably have to watch something light in between. I really enjoyed how every questions I had were slowly getting answered slowly in every episode. Also thank you to the writer for not putting that love triangle drama so audiences can focus on the real issue. Really hoping for another season for this one!
