Not my cup of tea...

I already found the story line boring from the start. Some of the kids they help are annoying, the female lead acts dumb a lot of times, and most of the lines with each character are uninteresting. I also don't like some parts of this drama. Like the forced smile of Momoko Sugisaki (Misako Renbutsu), it is not that scary, but they make a big deal out of it. And the rules of her job annoy me; she follows them, but she still gets scolded, and if not, they still get mad. Do they realize how flawed their command is?

I think this is a good series to watch if you like simple, not too complicated, series. It is also short, so that adds a point if you want a drama that is enough to watch for a day. But personally, I didn't like this; I'll just give it a 4/10.

Adorable!

Everything in this Korean drama is just super duper cute, Especially Shin Hari (Kim Sejeong) and Jin Yeongseo (Seol In-A), a really good friendship duo. I love the flow of the story, not too cliche, not too awkward, and not too boring. It's a good thing that they only make 12 episodes for this series because it doesn't need to be long they already show and fit the story perfectly for a 12-episode-drama. They did great for a web novel because usually I find web novels that turned into a drama dry as dust.

Really recommendable, I rate this a 9/10. The story might not be far from the other office/business rom-com drama the only difference is the main leads have a great chemistry and the story is interesting and not draggy.

Magic or... illusion?

I missed watching musical dramas, and thankfully, this show did not disappoint. I love every song and every performance they exhibit; it is so fun to watch. Some might find it boring, but for me, it is a great addition to this drama.

And can we talk about their acting? They are so wonderful! As usual, Ji Chang Wook (Ri Eul) is an all-rounder, but I find the acting of Choi Seung Eun's (Yoon A-yi) the best! Her microexpressions are the greatest! This is my first time seeing her and Hwang Inyeop in a drama, and I can say that their acting is good. The only flaw I find in this drama is that there is not enough background on the main characters. They are not memorable enough, and I wish that they worked more on the relationship between A-Yi and Il-Deung because it feels scattered. And I am a little bit confused about whether Ri Eul is a real magician or just an illusionist. This is a slow-paced drama, but it was not enough to get to know him more and fully understand his character. Also, her relationship with A-yi is so vague.

It is a good show. You will have fun, but some things are a little bit loose and unclear. I give it an 8.5/10.

I don't even know how to describe this drama...

Okay, first of all, I am amazed at how they managed to make the power of the female lead (Oh Cho-Rim) look interesting and cool. Because who thought that seeing scents could help you solve a crime?

Now let's start on my real review. The story is so lame and corny; it is so 2015 (if that makes sense), like if I watched this drama around that year, maybe I'd find it good, but truthfully speaking, the plot is so awful. Half the time, I was cringing. Like, what do you mean that people think you're a monster just because your one eye is blue? It is not that deep, bruh. And the relationship between Choi Moo Gak (the male lead) and his sister is weird; they give me a "sibling or dating?" vibe. And let's be real: the character of Jung In Gi, which is Oh Jae Pyo, is really not necessary in this drama.

You might be wondering why I gave it a 6 out of 10 if I find this drama awful. Well, the plot is horrible, yes, but I did find the acting bearable. I always find some people criticizing the acting skills of Shin Sekyung, but honestly, I don't think she's a bad actress; it's just her character. And like I said, I find the female lead's power intriguing; that's why I still managed to finish this to see the end of this drama and how they will use her powers. And also, Namkoong Min did a good job being the villain, and Yoo Jin-seo slayed her character as an Ice Princess cop.

A light detective drama

I don't know if all Japanese drama are really pastel-like even if it's about crimes, but I can say that this was fun watching since the problems or "crimes" they encounter are not heavy or super serious. Tokino (Minami) is really adorable, especially when she is with Yuma (Ryo) or breaking the alibis.

I don't know if I'm just stupid but a lot of times I can't understand it every time she breaks the alibis. I think it is too fast and it doesn't make sense at all.

I'll just rate this a 5/10. A perfect drama if you want a light action drama with few episodes. But personally, I don't think it is a good drama. A little bit boring especially there is nothing thrilling to the scenes and acting. I believe Tokino and Yuma carried this show.

A solid 6/10

The actors and actresses who played the young version of each character was superb! They really had a great skills and talent
especially Kwak Dongyeon and Ji-woo.

Back to the drama, I do think a lot of fighting scenes were cool but them making Shin Jung Tae looking like a "superhuman" by surviving every episode looks stupid. He is literally bleeding in every part of his body and can barely stand but 30 minutes later his already fine and start fighting again, and in every episode too. That is so so so boring. The first episodes were fine, it was interesting to watch knowing each character, their backgrounds, and the actions scenes. But as it gets longer you'll get tired.

A solid 6/10 for me. Some characters were lovely but the plot was a little bit meh for me.

The acting was icky

I'll rate this a 4.5/10.

Found Pyo Han Eum (Yoo Sun Ho) and Seol Oh Sung (Ahn Hyung Sub) adorable, but the acting was so unrealistic. A lot of scenes makes me wince and cringe, the problems that they tackle/show in this drama was okay it's just the delivery of the actresses and actors that is not very well. Though the chemistry of the 3 detectives was good.

But since this is a mini drama, I won't heavily criticize it. I watched this for Kim Namjoo (Ok Jin Kyung), but unfortunately I didn't liked it. If you are finding a kdrama that is light and short and can be finished within the day, then you can try this. Although personally, I would recommend you to pass this drama and just find another mini drama to watch.

First time seeing Hwang Jung Eum (Kang Yoo Jung) in a serious, thriller drama. In my opinion her face doesn't suit this kind of genre because her looks and emotions are too soft, stiff, and delicate (?). I've already seen Ji Sung and Jung Eum in another drama (Kill Me, Heal Me) so their partnership isn't new to me.

Back to the story, the thriller is good, I really looked forward to what will happen on the characters especially to Do-Hoon and Yoo-jung, how will Min-Hyuk get his revenge, how will the family of Do-Hoon treat Yoo jung, etc. Though the acting is a little bit meh. The romance between Yoo Jung and Min Hyuk was so out of the place. Why would you like someone who is connected to the death of your past lover and why would you fall for someone who makes you suffer? That is so weird. Their 'relationship' was so forced in this drama. And why do Min Hyuk keep thinking that he owns the women here? For example his lines like "don't die without my permission", "Smile for me' keeps dragging Yoo Jung etc. That is so cringy. No wonder the reviews in this drama before was 10/10 because that kind of things were so normalized before.

I like Choi Gwang-soo and Seo Ji-Hee in this drama, they're cute.

I'll just give this drama a 5/10.

This drama had a good start and flow, but awful ending.

I was so excited to watch this drama when it aired. I saw a lot of people talking about Big Mouth on every social media platform that I have. And when I finally had a time to watch this series, I understand the hype. From the story, all of the characters, the problems that the main characters are facing, to the gangs, and the curiosity to find out who was big mouse will really make you hooked on this drama. But as the drama near to its ending, I was so disappointed. They introduce more problems just for them to rush it in the finale. The story went to the top and straight falls down. It was so dismaying. Unless they will make a second season, the ending won't get the satisfaction it deserve. I also guess this is the reason why I only saw the hype until episode 10 when it was airing. I never saw people hyping it up when the drama end. They waste a good drama, actors and actresses just for a rush ending.

I'll give it an 8/10. Other than the awful finale the drama was good.

For me, giving this a 10/10 doesn't really mean it's perfect, but because I had fun while watching it.

The first few episodes was really great, they show the characters in a way that will make you ask , think, and anticipate the next episodes to know them more. But as the episodes go, the joy to watch this lessens. But the great thing is, even though you don't like the flow of the story anymore, all the character gets more interesting and lovable that's why you'll still continue to watch it for them.

I don't think this drama is boring that's why some don't like it, but the plot of the story gets predictable. The relationship between Kim Je-Ha and Anna is too fast and doesn't have a nice development story. I believe, overall, the character of Anna doesn't have a good build-up story at all. Also, why did they make Je-Ha like a superhero? He's a human, it's impossible to knocked down 10 men while you are bleeding to death x_x.

But I won't lie, I still had fun, I like the action scenes, the acting, and the side characters. Especially Choi Yoon Jin. I don't know how to address her character, if it's a villain or not, but every time she's in the screen I can feel her emotions. And I also liked the ending scene.

Is it recommendable? If you like action dramas, then I would say yes, I believe it is recommendable.
