Touching story

I came to watch this drama after watching many famous crime/detective drama. I didn’t expect much because KSH and MgY both looked quite not so fancy there.

So few minutes into the first episode I wanted to skip it. The video quality was quite bad I suppose. Then, somehow I tried again and got hook. I knew KSH from 100 days my prince and Strongest delivery man but didn’t have much impression back then. After few episodes I was really a fan. I didn’t even feel like he acted or something. I just like him very much and MGY. I have never liked an actor like that in my 20 years of watching Kdrama.

Both characters have pitiful backgrounds which make me understand the struggles of people who must take care of their family members with mental illness and autism.

GJS as a character was beautifully written. First we thought he was just a coward policeman, who wanted an easy job. Then, his back story and his encounters with RY showed us a selfless individual who sacrificed his career and even love to take care of his poor mom. It’s very touching, very sad.

We live close to a family who has a girl with Down syndrome. Every morning when I get off the bus after taking my kids to daycare, I see her sitting in her chair with her mom next to the bus stop. She always try to reach out to something I never know. But it feels really sad. The mother has no choice but stays at home to take care of her. I really would like to ask how she is, but never have the courage to ask in another language. That’s why when I learnt more about the drama, I really appreciate how the writer used both humors and sadness to let the characters touch our hearts.

For the main lead, she’s really a strong one. She caused so much troubles for JS. But as the main lead, that’s what he needs to get out of his comfort zone and find fulfillment in his job and life. Together they make a lovable and strong couple. One of the best couples in Kdrama land for me. They are human, relatable and beautiful people around us.

Many incidents in the drama open my eyes about ongoing crimes nowadays and I love this fresh metro police theme. The commissioner Lady is awesome in my point of view. Other characters are nice and even the antagonist is there for us to feel sorry for him.

There might be some dragging in the end and some small holes in the plot, but if you like a humane journey to our hearts, you should definitely give it a try. There’s not much romantic scenes though. I guess it is because the female lead’s focus on finding her sister and it’s reasonable. However, it would be nicer if they let JS hug her more in the end.

Final point, please watch bts and interviews of this drama, they are lovely and fun. You’ll see how the team worked together and it felt so nice and heartwarming.
