Not for me

Background plot - 5%
Romance - 75%
Misc comedy - 20%

Background plot - Not sure there was one
Romantic chemistry - Tepid at best
Misc comedy - Fine
Production value - Pretty good

I stopped at episode 6. I asked in the comments if the chemistry improves and folks said it stayed the same throughout, and thus I dropped the drama. I like these actors just fine, but-- personally-- didn't feel any heat or chemistry between them.

Also, I'm not sure there was a story. . . at least, there was no real story by the end of episode 6. It was repetitive scenes for 6 episodes with no progression; I stopped both episodes 5 and 6 to make sure I wasn't accidentally watching an episode I'd already finished.

I think perhaps I'm the problem...? People in the comments seemed to really enjoy this one and see / feel lots of chemistry between the leads. I did try, though, and gave it a 6 because it isn't terrible, it just didn't keep my interest.

Anyway, this one ended up not being for me.

Not for me, but I can see why some people like it.

==Breakdown==
Background plot - 75%
Romance - 20%
Misc comedy - 5%

Background plot - If you like crime dramas, it's probably pretty good
Romantic chemistry - Fine sometimes, nonexistent other times.
Misc comedy - Rare, but fine
Production value - Pretty good

This drama is for: Anyone who likes crime dramas with a light sprinkling of romance.

I'm blaming myself for this one. I really like both of the lead actors in this drama, so I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried to watch a Crime/Mystery heavy drama. I shouldn't have. This is a plot heavy drama and I watch CDramas for romance. As stated, I really adore the two leads here, but didn't feel much chemistry between them. Thus, the romance wasn't enough for me to suffer through the genre.

I'm the problem and won't venture into this genre again. It gets a 7.5 because I can see it's probably good for people who like this kind of story, but if I was rating it based on my enjoyment it would've received a 2 star rating.

The story is nonsensical, but the leads' chemistry makes up for it

The problem here is that this is a super low budget drama, and therefore the plot is rushed and weird. However, the leads' chemistry is so good that it oddly makes up for the bare bones production and story. It's like an AI wrote a script with the primary objective being to put the leads in as many tropey, contrived situations as possible. And then the actors were so good and had so much chemistry, it made the astonishingly bad script almost passable.

If you ignore the story and production values, it's watchable. I hope the ML and FL actors get bigger (better) dramas because of this one.
