"Officer, on what grounds do you say that?" I swear the most logical dialogue was given to the witnesses and suspects. However, they have calmed down on the leaps of logic in this episode for half of the team. One half of the team seems to be following leads and noting witnesses odd behavior. Nothing specifically came of it this episode but one can hope they build on it later. However, too much drama was made out of spray with a pungent smell. I'm giving a pass on how the detective knew what items to buy because it seems to be headed in the right direction now.6/10 - half of the teams seems to have calmed down on the leaping logic a bit and is investigating.

The team splits up to carry out their own investigations into the accident they find suspicious. One team comes to the conclusion an altercation happened to the victim before his heart attack after realizing he had two cups in his office, the offices was cleaned, and outside in the studio, the investigator had an attack of empathy for the victim. That's right "empathy." The other team just jumps to conclusions, not based on interviews, but based on that the victim had to encounter someone, a fight must have happened and they cleaned up the scene. From this, they conclude, its not one of the witnesses they interviewed but one of the people connected them and a chase scene happens just after the boyfriend visits their witness girlfriend in disguise.TV drama is a visual medium. You should show us how you reach the conclusion vs tell us what the conclusion is. Especially, for a crime drama.4.0/10 - with a little more dramatic acting this would work as a parody.

Again, introducing all the elements of a police drama in a stumbling way and not quite hitting the mark. The main lead is too intense (sometimes aggressive) while questioning victims to establish authority as a cop not to actually derive information from the issue. Two detectives make assumptions about the wife based on her behavior "being too normal." I think it was "so normal it seems abnormal" by one and the other says she so clean cut and ok that she must have resented her husband. There was a moment where the witness say it was sad he died of an accident, the female lead agressively questions "who said it was an accident?" and the girl responds, "we are at the accident investigation agency." Then the female lead calms down. *Facepalm* Yeesh.There is a lot of speculation right now for an autopsy to have not been completed. I lowered my rating because the basic barometer of an investigation team is that they specialize in investigation and evidence not speculation.5.5/10

This drama is my first time back to the suspense/mystery/crime drama after a few month hiatus. Coming in with an open mind despite the comments on this drama, I have to say I seem to have a lower overall rating but, less harsh criticism. The intro music was fine but the images you view don't seem cohesive. Not a big deal in a drama but I will admit it had me bracing myself for a drama that lacked cohesiveness. I was right. The very first scene is a paranormal type warning dream sequence featuring her sister and a message about the accident squad. The character doesn't seem to care that much about soon after, even though it frightened her in the moment. Tonally, the drama shifts to a comedic montage that features the squad of "screw ups" she is going to manage.The acting is ok and does not feature any particular breakout performances. The edits aren't too choppy as can be scene in short dramas. The direction seems ok but doesn't establish any interesting shots. The music is fine but doesn't support a consistent tone.I just don't think it is very engaging. 15 mins is very little time to engage the audience with a WHOLE squad and introduce us to a crime AND introduce us to what might be an ongoing secondary plot (the dream). The drama is setup in a way where it can only superficially cover all of these things. The outro was not great. It mimics a good elements of a good song only to fall short of making a good cohesive song. In that respect its like the drama episode. 6/10. Passed the class in that it was an episode but short of average to me.
