At first I wasn't interested at all, but after a year, it managed to be somehow on my Netflix list. Watched a few episodes and it was good. Can't remember why i didn't like it last year. Anyway now I'm looking forward to more episodes. I hope this one ain't a waste of time.

After the first few episodes, the cycle of the FL chasing the ML while the ML pushed her away, got so tiresome.

Anyway, I guess the writer(s) did good in presenting human nature. They made plenty of recognizable characters: an underprivileged but gifted ML, a nice girl next door type from a picture perfect family, loyal friends, backstabbing envious friends (their hopes and dreams, their arrogance, greed, deception, discrimination).

All in all I think it's a good watch.

I think this drama is beautifully written. Even the subplots were really engaging, I wasn't tempted to skip any episodes even if I sometimes feel like the villains are too powerful or too many to fight.

ML is the male military prosecutor named Do Bae-man (hence the name Doberman), who loves money.

FL is also a military prosecutor, fiery and mysterious at the same time, who wants justice at all cost.

Both were victims of greedy and power hungry people. Both were hungry for justice. They found each, fought side by side as comrades and then as friends with the same cause.

I just wish for a bit more of romance. Not just the hint of romance they gave at the last minute of the show. Anyway; good story, good actors, good OST, sure rewatch.

A story with a little bit of everything.

A bit of the corporate espionage/betrayal and a glimpse of the security services world. Failed relationships and second chances everywhere.

ML was an arrogant heir of a rich father. On the surface, he seems to think of nothing and no one but himself. But he also has this deep need to help and save others.

FL on the other hand, was a filial daughter of a broken marriage. She has a deep sense of responsibility and has the tendency to take on everything that comes her way on her own.

It was their luck to meet each other after a failed relationship with their exes. They've clashed, they've bonded and then they've fallen in love. The end.

My first mini drama

Story was quite simple but unexpected satisfying. Never had patience with short dramas before because most of the time, the story would end too soon for me to love/know the characters.

The flaw(s) of the show, too many plot holes left wide open. Like where did the mystic face swapping power came from. Or what really happened with the crown prince. Or what happen to the FL's sister, why did she turn crazy bad.

The ML (the general) is like the unrealistic prince charming from fairytales. He's just the good general, respected and loved by many. But the story didn't include much about him so that's all.

Actors were ok. OST too.

I think I like the OG version (Korean) better.

Good thing in this remake, the writers did well on the adaptation from the Korean to Thai settings. The Korean version is more urban, this one is more rural it even gave a rustic feel to it.

This version also has more warmth, in terms of romance and it's comedic antics. What I don't like is the blatant sexism against women in profession portrayed here.

I didn't get this feeling from the Korean version. Sure at first, the cops didn't want an "outsider" to butt in in their investigation. It just happened that it's a girl criminal profiler.

All in all, it's still a good watch.

Something to watch at least once..

Watching this requires a lot of patience. Tried once before and failed. When I saw season 2, I've decided to give it another try. It was still very challenging, but this time I've succeeded.

The plot of the story was nothing new, dominant ML, bubbly FL, corporate family drama, lies and deception, love triangle. I think the only thing of substance was with the last two or three episodes.

The love story was ok, not that spectacular but just ok. What I don't like is their kissing scenes. It feels so awkward, like teenagers just learning how to kiss. Well at least they gave us at least a happy ending.

First of all, I love this kind of plot (crime/forensics drama) with a hint of mystery and a budding romance.

Acting wise: I like the fact that even though I'm not familiar with any of the actors and haven't seen them in any other drama, I think they did good.

Story wise: some plots were unnecessary. Some were really far fetch and scientifically unrealistic. But there are still some that made their mark on my mind. Like, the over worked mom who drowned in a fish tank. Another one would be the radio active stone, a father killed by his ex-wife. And then the almost cult like serial killings.

Musically speaking: it was so funny to hear musical scoring that sounds a lot like the old west movies.

This one feels like I'm watching "Survivor" tv series or eating mixed nuts. You try to sample everything until you got fed up with everything. I think the creator of the show is overly ambitious..

Started off with an almost paranormal mystery feels. Then it turned into a survival drama. Then turned into a Sci-Fi crime drama.

ML is searching for justice for his wife, FL is searching for the truth about her mother. Another character was a mother which depended with a man all her life with a teenage daughter with a lot of angst. Another one, is a married couple on the verge of divorce. See.. mixed nuts right?

Pure entertainment: for easy/relaxed viewing.

Love this one. At first, the love hate relationship of the ML and FL was mildly annoying. But as the story unfolds, with all the character development and plot twists and turns, it became really endearing.

Liked that these was written with a strong FL and a pretty ML for a change. FL was a well respected and feared general, while ML was a bit of a scoundrel and a parasite of the royal family. She love him anyway. Even with ML's shallow personality, he learned to understand the hard exterior of FL and love her anyway.

Pure entertainment: easy/relaxed viewing, RomCom with a right dose of political intrigues, heart tugging moments and action packed fight scenes.

Love the onscreen chemistry of the cast. Good OST too. Although the series is a bit too long, I wouldn't mind rewatching this one.

Convoluted plot lines, only saved by the happy ending

Convoluted plot lines. Intertwined lives with too many coincidences . Villains sprout almost always out of nowhere that seems to cheat death over and over again.

The ML and FL annoyed me most of the time, specially at the first half of the show. FL was supposedly a very strong lady but she came off too childish in her action and a bit useless during fight scenes.

The romantic vibes from the secondary pair which is way cuter and sweeter than the lead characters.
It's so cute to see a bandit falls so innocently in love with his newly acquired wife and his princess wife to fully accepts and love him back..
