Watch for sweet but psycho Ju Tae Seon
Note: The drama's intro theme has been created using AI.
To start with, I would suggest not reading the plot summary. Part of it ruined my watching experience. Unless you prefer to have all your facts in advance then go ahead.
Lee Chae Ha decides to become a police officer after struggling being labelled as a son of a murderer. He gets called to work in the prosecutor's office under Ju Tae Seon who detests murderers and bizarrely Chae Ha as well. So it doesn't make sense why he wants to work with him. Even more bizarre is when he angrily kisses him. The show definitely wanted to give us a wild start! It was quite intriguing as to why he was behaving this way so I enjoyed the journey of his evolution.
Chae Ha seemed to have some level of guilt so even when his senior was clearly abusing him, he refused to walk away. Professionally, they seemed to do well together despite the bickering and the disgust Tae Seon felt for him.
There are 2 cases that are the focus of this show - one is a murder in the present and second is the murder of the past committed by Chae Ha's father. In my opinion, the mystery wasn't great. The presentation of the murder case they were working on was confusing and I lost interest in it. I just barely followed along . Similarly the case of the past, I couldn't fully grasp the significance of the murder. Some clues are in the intro. If it wasn't for the two leads and their relationship, I wouldn't have cared about this drama even though I love crime thrillers. I felt like this was the weakest aspect of the show. Also, it was pretty obvious where the show was headed.
The final episode was nice and everything was wrapped up pretty quickly.
I still applaud Korea for trying something new even if it wasn't perfect. At least I enjoyed the journey and that's what I mainly gave it points for. I especially loved Kim Yoon Sik's acting and portrayal as Ju Tae Seon. He's definitely eye candy!
The OST is pretty good too. I just wish they didn't use AI so I had to deduct points for that.
