Interesting twists but a bit lacking in logic

This is one of those dramas that starts off meeh and honestly kind of depressing but gets better as the plot unfolds. As both leads have extremely depressing background stories to make the audience feel both a sense of urgency and protect them in all coast type of deal...

Lomon and Seo Ji Hoon rocked this roles where very well written, consistently good interesting, and defiantly stole the show not only for the show of abs but actual substance they did a great job but I would have wanted to see a lot more screen time with Seo Ji Hoon.

The Others acting, characters and story was kind of inconsistent, some scenes where great others not so much.

Shin Ye Eun had som great scenes but there were times where she did not really convince me, I also found her character annoyingly stupid at times as she changed sides more often than a pingpong boll during a tournament. However her chemistry with Lomon was lovely, and she is overall a pretty bad ass person (whenever she is not acting stupid).

Most of The Other girls were pretty cool most of the time, complex, lovable and showed great friendship.
Lee Soo Min was however better than her role, which was a bit to stereotypical mean girl... She did of course rock it but I hope to see her get casted for better roles. Chae Sang Woo could use a lesson or two in acting, and though his character did make me wonder I still feel that there was something missing...

There drama presents a few social issues here and there but they do not really get in to them as well as show an inconsistency in funding, illogical solutions, illogical situations, illogical decisions, so yes a whole lot of lack of logic and bunch of loose ends too for that matter. The amount of times the male lead gets hit in the head is ridiculous, and I am pretty sure some of those blows should have been lethal. That said this is a drama that actually had me guessing pretty much from start to finish, no that there weren't any clues they were just very wide spread so it was actually a challenge to put all the pieces together which I like.

The OST is lovely so is the cinematography but the filming will also give you motion sickness at times.

So what can I say this was a pretty ok watch, one i would recommend whenever you feel like watching pretty people fight, splatter blood and stay a step a head of the police while trying to solve not only one but several mystery's while falling in love... this is not a bad place to find it, just do not expect to much logic or any kisses.
