I tried but it's just ridiculous violence for far too much of it. The C96 using suppressed gunshot sounds when it clearly wasn't was giggletastic, indeed that whole 'action' sequence was laughably poor. I'm not a splatter fan and I like my action vaguely believable or is convincing the right term?

Not my bag which is a shame as I did want to watch Lee Ho Jung in something different.
Thanks for taking the time to try and persuade me.

I shall endeavour to do so just for you

But then I have to listen to the awful sound effects. All those crunchy, hacky, squirty noises quite put me off my tea.

Only on episode one and debating whether the drama can get me past the over the top gore porn.

Yup the tedious sappy stuff lost me rapidly. I've been trained into a Pavlovian reaction now, as soon as I hear 'Healing Drama' I start yawning.

Anyone know where to watch in HD?

the sort of program that reminds me why I love working from home.

the Japanese version is of it's time and place - darker and grittier in quite a mundane sort of way and without the feel good ending, though happy? Worth a watch - recommended

I'm sort of sitting on it at the moment as I quite enjoyed the kid's budding romance. She's quite a classic non-doormat FL and I suppose apart from the plumpness he's a fairly classic 'weak' male lead (à la Ho Goo's Love etc.) but their relationship is really sweet without the usual disdain to affection trope.
BUT the undercurrent of sociopathic violence and deceit ain't my bag at all.

Excellent review. The violence as fun factor didn't do it for me either - they just come over as thugs or morally ambivalent rather than anti-heroes.

Your opinion counts!

Neither one was a winner for me - I think they dropped the ball by not involving the parents more from the beginning if I had felt invested in their stories for themselves rather than for their kids it would have been better.
Instead, I was really enjoying the kids story and then it stops dead and we have the adults past.
Mata Hari and a thug aren't best ways of evoking my sympathy either.

Well I was enjoying this and all involved like but the parents backstories are strangely tedious and uninvolving.

Or it's puerile humour with little substance and a plot device that's mostly used for cheap laughs - you say tomato and I say tomayto

Puerile humour, if that's your sort of thing dive in - if not you'll know why it's under 8 already and won't bother.

Well my curiosity didn't last the first episode - not my bag just felt grimy and nasty for the sake of being grimy and nasty.

English slang like - Old Bean, Old Chap etc.

Wut? The autopsy bits are intense the rest of it is just lazy ass caricatures that make little sense.
How can top of her class could have been a judge, loved crime dramas Prosecutor not even know the basics of a crime scene?

Cheers old stick that saved me some anger and wasted time.
