PRAIZNN

I enjoyed this drama a lot. I feel I could binge all the episodes, but watching it weekly was also better. I found the Bo Na family endearing; her teammates were good; the supporting cast added depth to the drama; and the ending was okay.

I adore Bo Na family; it was clear that they really love each other and were ready to support one another. I liked the backstories and flashbacks, but I especially loved the leads' backstories and how they developed feelings for each other. It was clear that Kwon Tae Song fell for Bo Na at first sight, but I appreciated that he didn't pester her or act all cool in front of her; their love and relationship grew through the support and care they gave each other while they lived alone. Loved how everything was built up to the time when he confessed his love to her. It felt mature and genuine, and the response of Bo Na was likewise mature: "I have never fallen in love, so please treat me well". This was my first time hearing such an answer to a proposal, and I ate it up. They were soooo GOOD, and they served hard.
I felt they were a real couple, not acting, and they had a very natural chemistry with each other. I understand the pain Kwon Tae Song felt when he found out his wife was Kingfisher, but it was really sad watching him ignore her calls, refusing to come to the house/call her, and preventing her from caring for him. The moment when Bo Na told Kwon Tae Song, while he was asleep, that she never liked strawberries, but because she ate them with him, she liked them (a lot). It was really emotional, and I liked how his genuine love for his wife overcame his doubts and concerns, and he gave her a really warm hug.
I have mixed emotions about Bo Na going missing when she found out that Kwon Tae Song knew she was KingFisher. Kwon Tae Song already accepted her identity as KingFisher, so what was the need for her leaving her husband and child? But I felt that she needed a breaking point and time to cool her head, but she never really saw it from her daughter's point of view- how she would feel when she can't see her Mother. I liked the parallel they gave, as her husband found her in the spot where he confessed to her and the way they mended their relationship.
The scene in which Bo Na's daughter goes to the rooftop to call down the helicopter, just so she could go and bring her mother's parents, who are already dead, was emotional and went straight to calling for my heart; the child actor really conveyed a certain amount of tears in me. But the scene was so unrealistic, and I mean everything about it. How did she know to climb up? How could she climb up that fast and not get tired, and why was the door locked?
I was really annoyed with how Bo Na's mother-in-law was unnecessarily harsh with her and always picking on her, trying to find faults, when Bo Na was being as good as she could be. But I'm really glad she came to like Bo Na and supported her when she went missing/went to cool her head.

Never liked Kwon Se A's character when I first saw her; I felt she was too active and energetic, but I guess that's her charm, and when the plot got into her love life, she became interesting to me. While I have a weak spot for Ki Yeong Do, she clearly had better chemistry with Beom Seong Hun, and, to mention, they knew each other from childhood. I'm glad Ki Yeong Do realized early that trying to love her wasn't going to work out, as she had already fallen for her police friend, Seong Hun, and him wishing her luck and ending the relationship amicably was a good closure.

I predicted that Hyeon Nam and Tae Min would end up liking each other, even if the plot didn't show it. It gave us hints; after all, they have an unspoken chemistry. I would have loved to see them in their dating era.

I was actually annoyed with how the investigators went after King Fisher, as if they had no other case going on, but you could entirely see they were doing their work, and I think I was annoyed with them because they were going to catch my BIAS.

I loved that Lee Dong Jin didn't try to seek more after the King Fisher case was closed, as that could break his friendship with Kwon Tae Seong, with the hints he keeps getting. He really values his friendship with Kwon Tae Seong; their friendship was really heartwarming.

I felt the ending was rushed, and the things that occurred were unexpected to me. I really thought they would catch Bo Na as King Fisher, and wondered how the ending would be with her going to prison, but thank God it didn't take that route. I still can't believe Seul Gi, who gave a bad-boy vibe, was actually sent to protect her. Would have loved it if they delved more into her past, but still, they did well with the 12 episodes.


I WOULD ENDLESSLY ROOT FOR KINGFISHER

WHAT WAS THAT ENDING WITH THAT CALL?
