A soild good drama
When i started watching i put the drama on hold for like a year than i came back and i wished i watched it sooner.The reason why i didnt watch it sooner is because of unrealistic and not very good quality of the fight where FL beats gangsters.
So yes the reason is boring.
Anyways i really like the story cuz its uniqe and its good from start to end.
I must say the cast was picked so well. They had this good energy and the chemistry between them was amazing.
FL and ML gave me butterflies many many times the acting was so good. Also i am happy they are (were idk) dating in real life cuz their personalities match so well.
Also there was a second lead sydrome of police officer he did a really good job too.
Talking about the OST the music was great too. If i listen to it now i recall all those funny sad moments.
Talking about sad scenes they are a few and they brought my tears out.
The ending is also very nice.
I recommend the drama and i really liked it.

What knocks off points for me were two things: first there were 3 characters I really disliked and did not see the purpose of them even being present in the story and the second is the tonal shift in the storyline toward the end. I'll explain better.
First the 3 characters I really disliked were Hee Ji who was Gook Doo's girlfriend in the beginning of the show, Kwang Bok who was one of the 'leaders' for the gang that was after Bong Soon, and Oh Dol Pyo who was the head of the Strategy Department. The girlfriend was there only to showcase Bong Soon's one sided crush but then her personality and actions irked me as there was no reason for any of it since that sub plot did not move the story along in any way. The last two characters were played by the same actor and I truly hated both. The gangster was just meant to be a ridiculous punching bag but since there were so many other gangsters that were all silly as well then this character was not needed. And Mr. Oh was brought in later in the series just to create a weird conflict within the Strategy Department for Bong Soon as well as be another comedic relief but again the character was just annoying and unneeded.
Now the story line. This show did try a little hard to mesh a couple genres together. It is a rom com/ comic super hero/ mystery thriller/ comedy all in one. In a lot of ways the writers made this work quite well. Where they faltered was from about episode 11-15 when the climax of the mystery thriller was beginning to really set in. While the story progressed well with the mystery part it was the constant scene shifts to unimportant characters and comedy scenes that felt so jarring that I was annoyed. I ended up skipping portions here of the gangsters side storyline and the parents in favor of just seeing the main plot and characters.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this show and highly recommend it especially if you are looking for a cute romance or a show to get you giggling.

IN A DILEMMA BUT YOU STILL LOVE IT
You know when you're in a relationship with somebody that's stupid but you still love the person anyway plus all the stupidity and all? Well this drama is like that, the plot is so ridiculous and unnecessary but you still love it and that was my dilemma. I just watched it because I started it and needed to see the ending, so many unnecessary and ridiculous scenes which doesn't go well with the drama at all, I gave it a 10 overall because I love both PARKs and the laughter the gangsters gave to me, they did well especially PHS. Every other thing is just so ridiculous and unnecessary,now I'm not saying the drama is bad just that it's so ridiculous but you still have to watch it because of how light it is. The drama also articulated how useless the police are both in fiction and nonfiction. Second male lead and the love triangle was unnecessary (another reason why I say somethings in the drama are unnecessary.FYI PARK HYUNG-SHIK IS A GREAT KISSER

There were just fragments of interesting scenes..
I think what went wrong here is that the production tried real hard to merge various genres equally. I mean, they tried putting in the comedy part which I think doesn't went accordingly to the story. Yes, it would be much better with the comedy but it shouldn't be overdone.
Nonetheless, the actors are really commendable. Park Bo Young gave a really awesome acting here. She could pass into melo. The scene in somewhere about episode 14, WOAH. Park Hyun Sik also did a good job. I'm just kind of distracted when he acts kind of gayish (maybe because he's friends with KwangHee, lol). Lastly, I think Ji Soo could also pass as An Min Hyuk! He's really good and got great bod, hotter than Clara LOL.
Oh, and I can't help but notice Bong Soon's mom's pretty face. OH OH OH, and Jang Mi Kwan!! I looked into him and it's said that this is really his first project. WOW, he could go real far with his acting. I wasn't scared much as the drama has a weak storyline but his acting is really commendable.
Finally, what's really good about this drama is their OST! SUPER POWER GIRL!!
A piece of advice (well, it goes differently to different people), don't expect much from this drama. It's good but not as much as it is getting attention.

Good for k-drama beginners (it def was for me)
Because of the powers that Bong-Soon has in the story, the narrative that women are weaker gets flipped entirely throughout the whole show. While she does get taken care of eventually- she is a pretty well-rounded character, smart, kind, and strong. She can take care of herself essentially. The male lead is one of my favorites that I have seen in K-Dramas so far, he is just the right amount of slay. I have seen almost 200 dramas, this one still ranks in my top 10 list, very warm and heartfelt.The soundtrack is really good too.
(old review I wrote lol)
Like— the traditional gender roles FLIP in the most amazing Olympic gymnast way.
Not only does the male lead have a secure masculinity- HE IS GORGEOUS and makes bromance jokes toward the second male lead, which is SO funny and made it interesting.
DON’T EVEN get me started on the female lead.
She is an elegant beast, strong and beautiful.

it tried to be too much
In the beginning, the show was really good. It was fun and interesting and the male and female lead have such an amazing chemistry. But when it came to the main plot and villian, it took it too far. A creepy man who terrorizes and torments females by looking them up in cages has no place in a lighthearted and fun rom com. I understand that there has to be a main villian, but they could have had anything but this. The scenes with the women were so dark and scary and I honestly felt like i was watching two different shows with two contrasting themes.Was this review helpful to you?
Watch it for the comedy, not the romance or anything else
1ML and Kim Won-hae are amazing(!!), would recommend it just cuz of these 2. Some songs are also great.Biggest fault in this is the terrible "strong female lead". They wanted to subvert gender roles, and it worked a few things, but the FL didn't seem like a real person, and I couldn't believe for a second that she was actually in love with ML. It looked more as if she liked the attention, than anything.
The mother is a completely toxic person, and the "bad guy" is as flat for motivation as a door, having no background whatsoever.

Boring show with a saving grace of cute OTP
I'll start with the positive:The acting was good, fun OST and the OTP were very cute together.
But... Everything else was bad.
After the first couple of episode I fast forwarded pretty much everything except for the OTP scenes.
I was not in it for the creepy kidnapper plot, too many scenes of woman being tortured and policemen doing a bad job.
Also, there were way too many useless side characters and plots that were just plain boring (everything from gangsters to teenage delinquents and neighbourhood woman group), backwards feminism (abuse by a woman is still abuse - nothing femenist about it) and horrible cringy gay representation.
I would recommend watching for the cute couple and be ready with your finger on the ff button.
