Gotta say, JS is one of the best MLs ever, and Kim Seon Ho is now on my top list of actors. He knows exactly when to emote and exactly when to keep it subtle, but with equal impact; his eyes do so much talking, even in the quiet scenes. The way his character is written is probably the best in recent years; they don’t write MLs like that anymore. The show was such a great mix of comedy, thriller and romance. I love slow burns done right, and this was the perfect example of that. The ML and FL made each other a better person, and that’s a solid foundation for a relationship. I really like how they came to respect each other before they organically fell for each other. I know some people had issues with the FL, but tbh I didn’t mind her. Her acting in some parts was outstanding (especially as the "other" person), and her character had a reason for doing everything she did that gets slowly revealed. Even the scenes where her character was played up for comic reasons were still staying true to her setup. Some of the other actors did phenomenally as well. The whodunnit for the overarching arc kept you guessing until the end, and the reveal made sense in the world the story created. The case-of-the-week, and the beautiful way human relationships were portrayed, made me reflect on myself and my role in the society. I love it when a show is able to do all of the above in an effective manner; this drama is such an underrated gem.
