There were moments of true brilliance in this show... interspersed with a lot of nonsense. At times murder mystery/crime thriller, at other times slapstick comedy/rom-com, if the show just decided to be one of those things consistently I think it could have been really good. Because it tried to do so much, it was borderline terrible. The parts that I loved were the friendships forged and the comedy that came with it. You could really feel the genuine care that most of the characters had for each other which is why overall the cast did a pretty good job with the material they were given. Jung Kyung Ho is one of my favorite actors so it was nice to see him both be funny and intense. Lee Seon Bin and Oh Jung Se were adorable and I could watch a whole show with just the two being clueless. The parts that I hated were the parts where the overly dramatic music cued RIDICULOUSLY stupid plot developments. These stupid plot developments mostly revolved around Choi Tae Ho and started out a little thrilling and ended up just laughably absurd. I kept on waiting for the motivations for the "bad guys" to make sense and while explanations were given, very little made sense. It's like the writers for the show saw Lost, watched an episode of The Office, read an Agatha Christie novel, and said YES I WANT THAT. The repetition of this vicious cycle of nonsensical plot developments also made the show pretty boring in the end. To summarize, I really really wanted to like this show because of the unique premise and the actors involved, but it was just too much of a mess to enjoy. It started out strong but just devolved as the plot became more and more absurd.
