i don't know if it's just poor editing or maybe they keep adding and changing certain details at the last minute, but i feel the episodes are becoming messier and messier :(

i watched the first episode with low expectations after reading comments that it was just okay since it basically just set up the story. well, i really enjoyed it and found the second episode fun too! i looove how her encounter with this particular ghost scares me and makes me laugh at the same time :))

i love jang na ra the most whenever she plays a badass character

i didn't notice the comedy tag on this so i thought it would be the usual (i.e. serious) kind of crime drama. the poster should have been a dead giveaway. idk how they managed to balance out the laughs with the gruesome murders but i am loving it. can't believe i put off watching this for so long!

this show was so well executed! i love how it really focused on the characters and their sense of community. i thoroughly enjoyed watching the fiery and complex chemistry between the two leads. theirs is one of the best partnerships i've ever seen in a crime drama. another equally chilling relationship worth mentioning is the one between the councilwoman and her son. just when i thought i could not dislike her character any more than i already do... that woman is just so twisted, i can't even.

i know, i didn’t mean it literally :)

ok so he is fishy, i wasn't just imagining it. lol. i was looking for discussions about him bec i found him a little too indifferent esp for a cop.

thought so too! she def looked disappointed at the hospital

sometimes i feel like the writers of this drama lurk in the comments, pick out some of the theories/conspiracies on here and make them a reality.

Their chemistry is on fiiiiiire—like, even better than YJG's chemistry with any of his previous leading ladies. I really like him in this role and genre. He's a great actor, don't get me wrong, but I just did not enjoy watching him in a romcom. On the other hand, I've only seen SHK in Soul Mechanic. I personally didn't care much for his acting there, so when I realised he was in this, I was a little disinterested. But, after watching just the first episode, I was convinced that they could not have cast a better lunatic.

The story itself is nothing new. It shares the same characteristic features of other kdramas in similar genres: a longstanding mystery, wrongful accusations, politics, etc. It also doesn't get my heart racing like a good thriller does. But what I like about it is its very micro approach in unraveling the "big mystery." I find that it really takes its time telling the characters' stories, their relationship and interactions with each other and their sense of community. So much so that I become invested in the characters. That's why it's so so sad whenever someone from their little family turns out to be a suspect or victim even if they're all shady and not exactly likeable.

This show feels more like a melodrama to me—a really, really well-executed one—with a side of mystery. It might not get my heart racing from suspense but its gradual and delicate revelations hit hard. Every. Time.

same :( and the way ha ni felt frustrated and helpless. ugh. i skimmed through the rest of ep 12 and decided not to watch it until this whole unnecessary plot with the aunt is resolved (hopefully by the next episode because it's such a waste of screen time). i was wondering if ji eun really went through with it at the end of ep 11, and i was so so glad she didn't. i feel really bad for yoo hyun's dad too though :(

i also think it's the opposite. he had always been the killer and real son but pretended to be an outstanding person. he actually was quite cunning and bold, going so far as inserting himself in ko moo chi's investigation. after getting hit on the head, he has (temporarily) forgotten who he really is and is just going with what people are telling him. but little by little, we see his killer instincts (literally) kicking in.

*JBR's amnesia—i hope it lasts and he works with ko moo chi to catch a killer instead of mislead the investigation like he has done previously. the big reveal is going to be an emotional roller coaster for ko moo chi and bong yi though.

i'm also glad they're starting to shed some light on hong joo's story because they didn't really explain her relation to the past killer (if any) in that scene where she seemed to have lured the female college student into the forest when she was a child.

i looooove this "second half" more so far. for the first time in a drama, i'm actually happy about them using this particular trope* to develop the plot.

amen to that. i was enjoying episode 10 until she came along. so tired of her!!!

i love how hjw took a page out of lds' playbook almost as soon as he returned. here's hoping that pushing each other's buttons will make them better partners instead this time around.

LOL

i thought for a hot sec that he came back to help :(

looool same thoughts :))

i’m just putting out other theories and opinions. the show isn’t over yet, and if anything, we have more questions than answers. so it’s best to keep an open mind :)
