I enjoyed this drama however I did have to skip a few scenes in the beginning. Honestly I think this drama would have maybe added a little to its well done thematic if they would have not focused so much on the high school time and went instead with them meeting again and adding a few flashbacks. But the way it was done was alright too.
Well played acting, nice story, just a little too stretched for me so for this I give it a 8/10

I was not sure of this drama at first, but this 2nd week of episodes made me get hooked. Its truly interesting. Especially when it comes to our main guy. I cant truly grasp him yet, but he sure managed to catch my interest.
Well done drama so far, im looking forward to next week

I enjoyed this a great deal.
It's nothing unique, the typical story that has been written again and again, but it's well played out and the characters are nicely developed. Adding a lot of adorable couple-moments and friendship-scenes and you have a wonderful good-feel drama. The last few episodes were a little too unbalanced compared to the 20 episodes before. There was just something missing. For this I give this drama a 8,5/10.

tastes differe a lot :).
I absolutely love Watcher, whereas I find Class of Lies a little lacking so far. But then we only have 2 episodes of Class of Lies whereas we have 6 episodes of Watcher so far. So it would be unfair to judge it, and vice versa
However I do believe that the choices actors make with picking a drama should be accepted. You might not enjoy it, but the actor might have ;)

along with Do Chi Kwang
this guy seems just as twisted as she is

I truly enjoyed this. Well done acting, nice storyline, great cinematographic and music. But in my opinion one could have cut this down to 35-40 episodes as well. 70 was a little much stretched, due to this i give this a 7/10

I have watched it yes :)
I enjoyed the characters a lot, especially our male lead was very unique and twisted. He is playing with fire and stumbling a lot on the way.
Political-wise it is not 100% accurate but then again its not a documentary, so therefor its well done. And you are right, it does, with its 10 episodes, do a nice job compared to other political dramas.
The only problem I had with this show was the lack of character background depth. But I hope this will find a place in season 2, especially with how things ended in season 1.
Well done review :) thanks for making it

Yes same. He is such a twisted character, very unique. And very interesting.
I too am curious how this will turn out. But you are right, the end was a little bit too rushed, but then we only have 10 episodes, you don't have much leeway there.
I wish season 2 wouldn't be quite so far away, but alright what shall we do.
Lets see how this will turn out :)

Well done drama. It kept it interesting throughout the 60 episodes. Acting wise it was very well done as well.
However I had a little problem with Sang Sang. In the beginning her youthful appearance fit well with her character but I wished the producers/director would have given Sang Sang a more mature appearance in the later episodes. It feels very off when a character that looks like 12 speaks of marriage..... No matter how old the real life actress is, as long as the character does not represent a little more age it just feel wrong.
Due to this I will give the drama a 8,5/10.

beauty and the beast reversed
and instead of a beast and a castle, we have ghosts and a hotel.

it as an interesting beginning.
IU is playing her role again fantastically.
I will look forward for the next episode :)

This truly was an interesting drama. Acting wise top, character wise: unique and very realistic.
It dealt with a lot of unusual topics and characters. It was not the typical drama, truly well done. It reminded me a lot about the netflix show "House of Cards".
I really enjoyed it.
As of the accuracy: yes, political wise there were some not-so-true things. But honestly, this is a drama and not a documentary, therefor some leeway should be given.
The problem I had was less the accuracy, it was more the background to the characters. We were not allowed to be given a lot of info about them. Content for season 2 maybe?
From this: I give this drama a 9/10.
Well done, now lets see where season 2 will take us :)

After the first 4 episode this became more and more interesting, till it grabbed one and didn't let me leave till all episodes were over.
It was a well done drama, it had a different take on it since we know what character plays what role and how the past is connected to them from pretty much the beginning onwards, that makes the surprise element, that is normally in such dramas the case, non-existing. But still there are some surprises on the way, and it makes the viewer curious how it all will end.
The background music though, wow, what a gem. This drama did it amazingly well.
Acting wise it was nicely done as well.
All in all it was a good drama, after one makes the first 4 episodes.
For this I give it a 9/10

We have a different approach on a crime-drama. Now if this is up to your liking or not is something you can figure out by giving it a try ;)
Personally I think of it as a possible gem. Its very promising.

a great beginning, a great cast, an intriguing story
yes this truly is a gem of a start.
This is going to be an interesting drama. A gem of a gem. I'm very much looking forward to next week.

it does have a romance story in it
But the romance is not the majority topic of the drama.

Ayy completely agree with your picks from Misty, Princess Agents and Stranger.
But the top place is for me still kepts by;

Ji Soo Hyun from Big Issue: Damn she is just pure amazing. Absolutely 100% amazingly bad ass.

Choi Yoo Jin from The K2: another absolutely amazing done female bad ass lead.

and currently Kang Sun Yeong from Chief of Staff is holding place number 3:Another absolutely amazing, cunning lady. She knows what she wants and she goes for it.

These would be my top 3 female characters for now

amazing drama so far. It's very political but we have some great twisted characters, a secret romance, and a smart lady.
Gives me a lot of "Big Issue" and "The K2" vibes.

To be honest, the story is quite predictable. I did not read anything about it, but from episode 5 onwards i had a strong suspicion on where this would go to. And right I was. Non the less, the character interaction ,the romance, the theme of psychiatry and what is ill and what not, was very well done. Plus the ending was just amazing. Definitely one of the best last episodes of kdramas. 8/10 points

wow what a drama . I had 0 knowledge or even expectations for this and was pleasantly surprised on how this turned out to be.
The characters are amazing, the plot is well thought through, interesting and well done. The cinematographic and the background music is absolutely awesome. I have rarely seen a drama filmed so well.
10/10, and if I could I would have added a few more stars

yeah exactly what I fear too. They do throw a lot of potential at us, just like you said, but if they don't use it soon, its gonna be wasted potential.
