so you think they got old and unfit within 3 years even though they were already on their 40s/50s? If you just said they were old, I wouldn't have said anything because they are, but you said that they can't do games anymore because they got old, which is not true.

I don't know why every few months someone comes out saying "because they all have aged they can't do games anymore".

3 years ago, Kim Jong Kook, Haha and Ji Seok Jin did a spin-off of Running Man called Outrun by Running Man. They did an episode playing the nametags ripping game against idols, and another running from zombies, and they had no issue running and fighting. Haha managed in one episode to overcome and survive the attack of three idols at the same time by holding on to his nametag for few minutes, when he wasn't even allowed to rip their nametags.

How do you think this was played? They went to the production team and said "we are all tired, we should stop playing games", then the production team said "well, we can't do this without you, let's change the show to a mukbang so that you can just sit around and eat"? They would've replaced them all in a second. They mentioned this before in one of the episodes. Koreans don't enjoy these types of shows anymore. Sitting and eating has become a trend in Korea, and TV ratings are important, that's why they are doing it this way, not because they got old. Three years ago, they easily outrun young idols. They workout a lot and they are probably more fit than you and me. I agree with you that it's boring. It's boring even for me. It's just that you shouldn't blame the members for the production team's fault. It's not those who you see are to blame.

Nothing. Haha. Such a random reaction. Have a nice day.

I think "the one who has the biggest motive" is not always true, that's why I consider it a gut feeling, not a deduction based on evidence. I don't like obvious evidence either, but in this case there wasn't any physical evidence at all. The napkin was easily explainable by many things that isn't involvement in murder. That is why I didn't like this episode. If that was a real person, we would say that "the jury" jumped to a conclusion and put a man who might be innocent in prison. I hate when there is still reasonable doubt, and they end up choosing the culprit by luck, that their own gut feeling turned out to be true.

Yes, but what's the point of the episode if they just went with their guts at the end? I don't know, maybe I was expecting better physical evidence. Their faces before the final voting says it. They were as clueless as when they started. Haha

I hope they would change the cast. I think it's gotten a bit too easy for them to solve the crime, and for us to tell who the culprit is based on how they are acting.

All victims are dolls. They lay them there until the end of the filming

The final case is unsolvable using evidence. Even their most "decisive" evidence doesn't point with certainty to the culprit. If they weren't bad at lying/acting, you can't tell who has done it. Also, their motive (story) is ridiculous. It's not realistic at all.

The final case (Ep9-10 The Casino) was definitely the worst.

The second case (Ep3-4 The Funeral Makjang Drama) was the best.
The first case (Ep1-2 The Hospital) and the fourth case (Ep7-8 The Night Club) were watchable.

In the last episode,
Jang Dong Min's face when Jeon So Min asked for the napkin was hilarious. I knew it was the "decisive" evidence as soon as I saw it. He remained nervous until they wrapped up the investigation.

Jeon So Min is dimwitted as usual, I can't believe she didn't notice his face and didn't check the napkin with the UV lights. They were all checking everything of his with the lights just moments ago, and she decides to just scan it with her eyes.

In real life, this evidence won't fly on court, though. It isn't as decisive as they made it seem (even though his face was). He could've easily said that he wiped his hands after playing a card game earlier that day, or that he didn't wash the napkin and the cream accumulated through a period of time.

They totally guessed it this time. Maybe from Jang Dong Min's bad acting. He kept saying he didn't know anything. That can't be right. There wasn't any real evidence they found that could indict him.

I don't think that's true. The Detective Assistant in season 3 got a lot of screen time to the point where he became a supporting character. This assistant only had one extra scene where he brings the inflatable boat, thanks to Kim Ji Hoon who seemed to have been actively trying to get him more screen time, but yes, they don't usually do anything, unless the detective is considerate enough to involve them. They are usually people who are not popular in variety, and have minor roles as actors or idols. It's an extra role that they take on so that they can get more recognition.

I'm kinda losing interest after the 4th. It was fast-paced in the episodes 1-4. The fifth episode dragged a lot. I don't think I'm that interested in their "happy together" years. I like to see their struggles.

I'm still at the 5th episode, but there is no way IU and Bo Gum could pass for 37 year old even with alteration, especially at that time and with their struggle. IU barely passes as an adult. Have you seen a 37 year old in the 60s?

In most countries, they only change pronouns if they had a sex change surgery, otherwise they are just cross-dressing. Not all of the cultures follow the US. In this specific case, the victim goes by both male and female, they never had a sex change surgery, they slept with Golden Spoon as male, and they have a name for each gender. So, they talk about them as female if it's the female character, and as male if it's the male character. It isn't offensive, it's just a normal process even if you are not intending to assume gender, because the victim never stuck to a gender. So, each person was calling them as they view them.

They guessed that the water sensor was manipulated. Why would they think that the business owner used it to make an alibi for the dancer? Manipulating the alarms because "he knew she was going to look for him" was such a bad excuse. There is no benefit for him to do that. It irritated me that this wasn't obvious to them. Of course she did that so that she can have an alibi to go move the body. What is it for the business owner? He can just say "I'll go do bla bla" or just leave and no one will even question it. He is free to do whatever. He can leave the meeting on his own free will. The dancer is the only one who has someone to answer for. She was the only one who needed a reason to leave the meeting so that her boss won't ask for her. There was no need for him to manipulate the water sensor just so that he can get the dancer out of the way. Haha

That was ridiculous. It made me so angry that this simple conclusion didn't cross their minds, even though Kim Ji Hoon told them exactly what happened and that "of course she did that so that I would tell her to go fix it and she can move the body". I was like "Thank you!" when he said it, and thought of course they would agree that this is most probably what happened. If he was going to manipulate the water sensor to make an alibi for himself, he would've gone to "fix it" himself.

In the 8th episode, why were they contemplating?

I did the same and I don't remember the meaning of a bloody knife. I might've missed it if they explained it again in this movie, but the whole background was pretty confusing to me, since I vaguely remember Kill Bok Soon.

My memory of it is foggy, since it wasn't such a masterpiece, and I also kept confusing it with the plot and setting of John Wick. However, I think it's such a waste to start this, and be forced to skip Kill Bok Soon all together, especially since they spoil its ending.

I think the members agree with you too. They voted almost unanimously for this person, and looked down on the one who didn't vote the same. I also thought they were bad at it, especially since they kept refusing to explain things, and kind of lied at times, but I thought that they were were going to be saved by the other people who were acting really suspicious, and that they were getting away with it. In the first case, I thought there is no way they are getting away with it.

Yes, except for the actual actor, they are not good actors. Haha
I often figure out who the murderer is as soon as they gather at the beginning, but I spend the rest of the episode figuring out how and why.

I know that some of the members of Busted are smart, that is why I said most of them are not, not all of them. While I don't know their actual IQ, some of them are obviously on a different level.

What I was getting at, is not calling all the members of Busted stupid, but I was trying to highlight the difference between the shows in terms of casting. In this show, all of them had proven one way or another that they are above average in terms of intelligence, even before the show was created. This explains why most of them are bad at acting, because they didn't pick them for their sense of humor or their great acting skills. They went for people who are known to be intelligent.

To me, these shows are not comparable, they are totally different from each other, so I understand that this didn't suit your taste, even though you liked Busted.

I didn't like Busted, to be honest. I thought Crime Scene has done it better (because I have watched the first three seasons at the time). Busted felt linear because they were forced to go to places and meet with NPCs without actually using their brains. The puzzles were set up for them like they were in a game, so the clues weren't realistic. Also, most of the members were of a low to medium IQ, so no one was impressive or did anything impressive on that show. If they added someone clever, like Kim Jong Kook or Hong Jin Ho, it might've helped a little.

What I like about this show that isn't in Busted is that the clues are realistically done and scattered. You don't have to solve a fake puzzle set up by the production team to solve the mystery, you just have to think like a detective. Also, they don't point you to a direction, you can find a big clue at the start of the episode, and then find smaller clues. It is not as linear as Busted where the production team guides them where to go and set the scenes in advance.

My advice is to try to watch the second case before dropping it. If you are looking for comedy, it's definitely more fun than the first one.
