The plotting is everything here. Head hops a fair bit but it wasn't difficult to follow. Unfolds more or less like a novel and overall a very decent finale. The ending is pretty much what I thought it would be. The leads did well as did the entire cast. I loved how the relationship between Dong-ju and Kang-san developed. Bae Hyun-sung surprised me. He's certainly come a long way.
The best K dramas these days are crime shows. At least one gets the feeling that a modicum of thought and effort are put into these scripts.
The slow burn between the leads is just absolutely precious. Two people learning to work together, caring for each other and quietly appreciating each other through rubbing shoulders in everyday common cause. My favourite kind of romance.
It's a novel approach (pun intended) to a well-worn K story and I like it a lot. The storytelling is excellent. But I'm not a fan of the female detective or at least not a fan of how she's written.
On ep. 5 and not sure what to feel about the FL, Park Yoo Rim. I guess congrats to her for landing a main role…
It's done largely to generate conflict and tension. Undoubtedly it can be annoying but without it for some writers, it's hard to get past the midpoint.
The first episode for instance, Jindo Dog going in with Do-jin in the middle of a rescue operation. The second episode Seol going off on her own to rescue the food delivery guy. And then of course Do-jin going off to check out the "star" signature of the arsonist despite the obvious dangers. I'm not a fan of this kind of writing.

I also think that the show could have been better.
