Great Acting, Great Story, Too Short
This drama is a visual buffet.There wasn't an ugly person in this drama. It's like they walked into a modeling agency and recruited a bunch of killers.Honestly I loved almost everything about this drama, the acting, the plot, the twists and turns. All kept me glued to my screen. It was just too short which left so many plot holes. If they were to take this, with the same actors (all of them, they all did a fantastic job) and give us a full fleshed out story, this could probably be a huge hit. But as it was, it was a very well done, just many unanswered questions.

Not Bad
I like the thriller BL genre a lot, and this one delivered in many areas. We have our anti-hero, our twist, and the chemistry between the leads is not bad. I did think it was odd that our naive lead would be THAT naive and really not be able to recognize differences he easily should have, but I won't give too much away for those who haven't seen it yet. It's worth a watch, but it's not making my top 10 list for this year.Was this review helpful to you?
Umm
Ok.... Where to begin...The script needed some MAJOR polishing, like .. a lot of changes...some stuff here were really stupid.
First, I'll compliment 2 things, good acting from newcomers, i don't know a single person from the whole cast and i admit they were convincing in their roles.
2- is the chemistry and I'll add to that the premise, it started off cool with balanced suspense and thriller you kinda want to know how will their relationship unfold.
And that's it, the characters however are very questionable, but i can ignore the clichés and twists in the story and how in the end all the bad guys turn good and the table turns and boom happy end, also the weird moments in the beginning where a severe allergic reaction is cured by a wet vloth and some hugs and affection... I can totally turn a blind eye on all that ... But there is one thing made me almost... Like barely held myself from dropping it, it's TaeJeong!! The whole human being!!!!
This mofo is written as meaningless as a sheet of paper, a detective that looks 19 he can at most fit as a rookie, who barely have any braincells working, was dumb enough to believe whatever anybody tell him, i mean aside from the fact that he immediately assumed the identity of a stranger in his friend's house without confirming it or asking his friend about it, he didn't even TRY to put two and two together through the whole thing and when he was handled the truth on a golden plate, he had the most ridiculous reactions.
if your best friend disappear suddenly and you found out that you MISTAKENLY identified a stranger in his house, my man you don't go ask that f*cker who he is?? You call the freakin cops!!! Mate, how dumb can you be!! He probably killed him or kidnapped him or something ~
You find your friend in a hidden cell, you call the freaking cops!!
The suspicious stranger confess that he isn't who you thought he is, you call the cops!!
You fled the place you don't go back and ask him to be honest with you then believing whatever he says, instead you should call the cops!...
But noooo He doesn't do that, he simply sleeps with him!!!
*Slow clapping*👏👏👏👏👏 splendid!!! Spectacular!!! Magnificent!!!! 👏👏👏👏
My goodness, if this was a horror movie, Tae Jeong will be the first person to be killed, and believe me, I'll enjoy watching that very much!!!

More holes tha a Swiss cheese
The premise of this series is so ridiculous that I couldn’t stop watching. I kept waiting for it to fall apart, but instead it kept pulling me in because I genuinely wanted to know where it was headed. A killer who couldn’t kill and a cop who couldn’t arrest, it sounds like the setup for a dark comedy, yet somehow the series makes it work. More than once I found myself wondering who was really in control.The chemistry between the leads doesn’t hit immediately, but once it does, the performances improve dramatically. They’re complete opposites, and while that usually makes for an easy dynamic, this series takes a more unconventional route. Their relationship develops in unexpected ways, making every interaction feel like another piece of a much larger puzzle.
The biggest strength of the show is that it constantly makes you question what you’re seeing. You know there’s a twist coming long before it’s revealed, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Watching it felt like walking into a game of charades where everyone else already knew the answer, and I was the only one trying to figure out the rules. That lingering sense of uncertainty kept me invested until the very end.
It’s not a perfect series, but it’s different and sometimes that’s enough to make it memorable..

Good plot!
This was a good crime BL with a good plot.The fight scenes were good! It had good visuals and the music was good enough for the drama.
Kim Kyung Min wasn't really convincing as a cop. But the overall acting was very good.
The mains had good chemistry and the kisses were good.
I recommend watching.

The Disappointment We Lived In
The concept was great but the execution failed at every turn. The show starts off strong when the hitman knocks out the owner of a house and is told not to kill him but lock him in the basement while he has to search for a phone which for some reason, he doesn't actually spend time looking for. Then we get a guest at the house mistaking the hitman for his friend's brother. Turns out he's a cop. Sounds exciting, right? Except the cop is dumb as a doorknob.The problem is that the hitman isn't killing and the cop isn't investigating or arresting anyone. Also the cop can't fight nor use his brain. He is clearly not cut out for the job so MINOR SPOILER I was very happy he quits at the end.
There was solid potential for some thrill and tension but both characters turned soft. And then there's a mystery behind a death but none of it made sense. I'm not sure how they got away with the crime in the first place.
The 2 positives are that the theme music is great and all the actors are goodlooking. But the only acting I thought was decent was the hitman's. The script was weak and they managed to make the show feel very slow paced even at 20 mins an episode.
Amidst all the chaos, the leads manage some loving. It was a bit ridiculous but okay they looked good together.
I actually feel bad rating it poorly but the show fell well below my expectations.

The Lie We Should Have Lived In
Although this series is completely implausible, it is just so much fun to watch because it hooks you in with its preposterous premise. In hindsight, this might have worked better as a comedy, as the whole concept is ridiculous. To be sure, it is entertaining, but predictably so. We can guess how it is all going to come out after just a few episodes. That is how obvious it became. It is nonetheless intoxicating to watch given how handsome all the protagonists and antagonists were. This series, for all its faults, honestly does try. But due to inept writing, poor direction, and an absurd premise you have a bumbling inept individual who takes credit for solving a crime that he had nothing to with solving. But it sure is fun to watch simply for the silliness of it. Honestly, I think this would have been a great “Pink Panther” story if you get the reference.Was this review helpful to you?
And they lived happily, even after the lie
An intriguing, unique, and very engaging plot. The story follows a cop who crosses paths with an assassin while visiting his friend’s house, the same place where every hidden lie is eventually revealed. The buildup was done really well, with each episode becoming more intense as the story progressed.“I’m in love with the criminal.” Their relationship was one of the highlights. They argue, clash, and then end up sharing incredibly intimate moments afterward. The chemistry between them is undeniably sexy. Seo Yi Do is especially captivating, with his rugged masculine physique and sharp, defined features.
The reveal that Chu Tae Jeong’s longtime friends were involved in his father’s death was a solid twist, although I admittedly saw it coming. That episode was absolute chaos, in the best way possible. So many characters were stabbed or shot, yet somehow the two lovebirds remained alive and kicking through it all.
Overall, it was a good drama, though I feel it could have pushed its story even further, especially the ending. The execution of the scenes, especially the action sequences, was flawless. I had a great time watching it.

An interesting premise
So bad at reviews but things I hated about this movie1. acting is actually so bad it's unbelievable. somehow the only believable scenes were the intimate scenes between the leads
2. Incompetent characters so they can remain weak? you're a whole cop and you can't break out of a little fight
3. Everyone just showing up at the right huh, chulmin then Yidos boss.
4. Yido is so ruthless but never finished his job because he saw a cute guy he wanted to have sex with... uhmmm
things I liked
1. Chemistry was too good, when they would touch each others lips and look butay each other. Those intimate scenes were so lovely. It's obvious how much effort was put into it.
2. That sequence at the end seeing them running around, Yido smiling and his scar being so present but he's so happy.
improvements
1. Better acting will have made this way better even if the story has loopholes, unanswered questions and Is not well developed.
2. Competent professionals... don't tell me you're a cop when you can't even so anything. at least Yido showed his skills but we have to make the 'bottom' as weak as possible.
3. the storyline, the backstory just felt so rushed... we got the big idea but I think if we saw more. it will made the show much better.

It's worth watching!
I really enjoyed the series, the plot seemed boring at first but in the last episodes everything changed, the more I kept watching the more I wanted to watch and this is definitely something I love while watching a series.The acting was really good and I could definitely feel the tensionand behind the screen. There are some things in the plot that seems unrealistic like a cop no noticing your friends is actually not aboard but it's a series.
I felt so sorry for Chu Tae Jeong , all these years and everyone around him betrayed him. But sometimes i feel like his character could have been written better, and I like his development.
The main lovers are soo cute, knowing each others definitely give them an another chance to live again.
Its definitely worth watching! ( sorry for any mistakes English is not my first language)

Thriller turns into intimacy
A BL story about a serial killer and a friendly police officer visiting his friend. This drama has great mystery elements and you can feel the tension. the length is good, I don't think it needed to be any longer than it already is. The ending is also satisfactory.The side characters are also confusing; some losers start doing drugs and kill an investigating cop? The "trouble" that the side characters get into are not described well. Since its quite a short drama it is better to focus on the main scenes and the chemistry of the couple rather than all of the details in the drama.
I still highly enjoyed the drama and hope to see more of the main leads.
