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.
If you want to go on a journey about human relationships that explores all the subtle nuances, gray areas, and motivations, that encompass being a human, then this is a must watch. Every single character was so finely etched and just the fact that you sympathize with each and every character in the show at least once, conveys the amount of depth and sincerity in the narrative. Every single scene has so many undertones and if you try and pay attention to everything that is NOT being said, along with everything that is being verbalized, you'll come to appreciate the brilliant storytelling even more. I can for sure say that just by watching this show, I was able to reflect more on my actions, motivations and aspirations, and grow into a better human being. The acting is A++++++. Will not be forgetting any of the characters, especially SRY and YS for a long long time.
