Amazing show! But missing few details!
The Good Detective is one good show! It's very amusing and interesting! it makes you wanna think MORE about who was behind the killings! So I do suggest this drama for whoever looks for a thriller or detective kind of shows! However I couldn't get over few things!* The trial :
I understand that yes we do have innocent people behind bars! I do believe that justice is NOT served! I'm not going to go through what happened 5 years ago! But my main concern is the trial! The defendant’s lawyer gathered all kinds of evidence to prove that Cheol was not guilty!! Some of those were really strong!! Me as a person who watches ( autopsy, real trials for fun ?) wasn't convinced on how the prosecutor was so easy in demolishing all of them! The video from Cheol’a work, showing he was at his work at the time of the murder was a big alibi for him!but it was rolled out! Also the watch! When Cheol’s lawyer provided the court the information about it and how it was related to the real criminal since there are only 2 of these watches so it was easy to track the owner down! But again the prosecutor said it was made by a 75 year old man and they can't rely on his weak memory!! The common sense says that this kind of expensive industry comes with ownership papers, and receipts! So NO need for anyone’s memory! You could check the paper work to find out the truth!
I felt bad for Cheol! His last scene was an epic one! I think this small scene and the other one when he was crying coz he regrets not seeing his daughter when she came for a visit, are enough to let anyone wants to watch more of Kdrama! I was surprised myself!!
The rest of the series was carried out beautifully! The relationship between the actors was smooth and simple! I liked how Kang Do-Chang and Oh Ji Hyuk got along! You don't need to put so much effort to see these two! You just smile when you see them with the rest of the team with their comic scenes and sarcastic lines!
*The romance:
Loved loved the chemistry between Oh and Jin! Loved how he smiles when he sees her reaction on something! Loved how he wiggles his emotions with her! As a shy yet strong brave detective, this part was covered very nicely! You see him showing interest in her, she feels it, then he hides it again she gets puzzled then he smiles! I think he liked to do it! It was very obvious in episode 10 when he called her to thank her for getting him out of jail! She was excited for what he has to say, then he said yes I wanna double-check if you did your homework! She pausedd for a while like ( what the!!!!) and he smiles!! This kind of scenes were very flirting and you can sense love is in the air so easily! I was a little disappointed as there are not so many scenes of them together! No holding hands or even a kiss!! Also, the viewers were confused with some of their scenes! I mean their relation escalated and a confession came in episode 11, another confession from Oh to Kang in episode 13 when he told him this relation is a man- woman relationship! But then when they wanted to arrest Yoo, jin’s boss, you could see an angry-hate look from Oh to Jin whwn they met at the journal Due to suspicion of a killer was on the loose ! For someone passing by noticing this look he would be like what is going on why is he mad?! But since us the viewers know what his true feelings are, it made no sense for me! We want to see more of their beautiful ship in season 2 please!! Holding hands! Kissing maybe, we are waiting for Oh’s big move! The writer makes him releases his feelings then asks him to hold it back?!
Last thing I couldn't figure it out was Jin’s past!!!! Something happened with her father, made her mum ill and made her journalist herself! We don't know anything about that part! Oh and Jin needs to know more about each other! And we need to see the hearts flying all around them while they are doing that???!
A conclusion: a great show! I think the more you watch it over and over, the more you get a clear idea about this and that!! I 100 % recommend it!!
