I didn't like Ling Dang much at the start either but things do get better between them after Episode 8.
The cohabitation aspect is really just for the romance. Nothing about it makes sense otherwise.

Once the leads stop the ridiculous obligatory bickering, it's a decent enough police procedural. Not great but watchable. Zhang Yujian is a fine actor and he plays up Qin Ming's eccentricities quite well. The low production values certainly don't help.

Maybe it's just me but I don't find this season boring at all. In fact, I'm enjoying every episode. Glad to have Lee Kyu-hyung a part of the franchise.

I don't object to the romance per se. I just object to how badly it's incorporated. The leads are good actors and they have decent chemistry but all the attempt to produce push and pull just don't make a whole lot of sense. Still the cases are decent enough to make the whole thing watchable and the show gets less bad as it progresses.

Ahn Chi-hong was not an intern but a resident.

Ugh... not impressed so far. Mango didn't exactly throw money at this did they? Not exactly enjoying the slapstick here. The inclusion of the rom com tropes feel so clumsy and unnecessary.

A mostly entertaining lightweight drama that borrows from Beauty and the Beast but tries too hard to sidestep the darkly fantastical aspects of the original . It's one of those dramas where the secondary pairing does a lot of the heavy lifting in the final act while the primary one flounders around waiting for the resolution.
If nothing else it's a reminder that Kang Ha-na is one of the best K actresses of her generation.

I say bring on more WinterGarden aegyo. We need it, the show needs it. It's a delightful antidote to all the angst happening elsewhere. Besides happy Jeong-won means happy patients and plenty of initiatives for Daddy-Long-Legs and beyond.

Don't let the detractors get to you. Everyone has their preferences and honestly those of us who have rooted for them since last season should revel in all their scenes together because it's the payoff.

I didn't have problems either. I was fine with the legalese having watched legal dramas in the past but the pacing was what had me reeling at first. I know there are people who would disagree but I personally thought the show got better as it progressed.

I enjoyed the humour in Episode 13. It's a much needed injection after all the angst of the previous episodes. Hye-ri was great at showing all the likeable aspects of Lee Dam.
And of course Jae-jin and Hye Sun are downright adorable. In general Hye-sun is great with everyone.

It's good. Much more like S1. The first couple of episodes are a bit wobbly because they're trying to cover a fair bit of ground and set things up. There's also another serial killer arc like all the others. But it really starts to hit its stride at around Episode 4. They seem to be doing a lot better with the procedural side of things too. I like the island backdrop and Song Seung-ho as Derek Cho, the new male lead, is a credible addition to the team.
They do a bit of a recap of S2 and 3 at the start so you don't need to have seen them but there are big spoilers.

Yes definitely.

Humour is very subjective. We love it at our place. But we're also used to the writer's style.

Perhaps he watched the right movies and the right dramas.

Episodes 4 and 5 were especially good. I like what they did with the water side of things -- the abalone divers (that was interesting), the marina and the caves. Song Seung-heon's character is a really good fit and brings a lot of experience with LAPD to the cases.

Woo-yeo is his own worst enemy. Not Seon-woo, not the Mountain Spirit. This whole noble idiocy thing is causing more problems than doing any good. Dam is inadvertently made to feel like she's the one who has to prove her devotion. She's always second-guessing herself, walking on eggshells around him. It's not that I don't root for them but yeah, I wish he'd give her the respect as the woman he loves by telling her what the heck is going on. If he values her freedom than treat her like someone who has agency. Let her make that choice for herself whether or not to help him. It's not entirely up to him to fix the problem. That horse bolted a long time ago. And he's really making a muck of things.

He was slated to be a one-season only character.

I am surprised at the pushback at the aegyo as well. Jeong-won has always been a bit of a manchild. That's why he makes a good pediatric surgeon. The kid in him interacts well with the kids. It's true that he has got great insights to offer on people but he's an unworldly, child-like fellow.
The aegyo is not beyond the pale. It's very much in keeping with his personality and consistent with how he acted around her when he was trying to hide his feelings for her last season.

In all likelihood this is his first real dating relationship and hers too.

Yeah, me too.
