A bunch of shades of life and ethics

Decent slice of life murder mystery drama, with a great cast and interesting twists. The romance is very slow, subtle and lacks kisses. That said the chemistry between several of the leads is lovely.

The drama does tackles some interesting issues shown from several perspectives. What is living? Do some deserve to die? Truth vs. dignity and who is actually to blame for girls being drugged and taken advantage of?
Hint, it is not the girl who got drugged.

Other questions are about ethics, cop ethics, business ethics, parenthood ethics (if there is such a thing)

There are some twists that caught me a little bit by surprise, but some of my personal suspicions where found to be correct at the end so there is definitely quite a bit that is predictable.

The female lead and her brother captured my heart early on, the rest of the cast never fully got there but almost.

All in all a drama I would recommend, but while there is some kind of playful tension between the leads, there may be a little nit to much left to the imagination to keep the romance addict within me satisfied as it left me wanting and hoping for more interactions between the two.
