Finally strong female leads who can fight off men and not break a nail! I hated the character who didn't have any field experience. This is the type of casting I hate with a passion!! Who in their right mind would prefer to be trashed talked to? Those segments irked my nerves.

The guy who played a spoiled rich star was even worse. They really could've edit those scenes out. I couldn't get past looking at how gross his lips looked....ick!!

Other than that I didn't think I was going to like this but the fighting scenes were what drew me in. This is the kind of action I like.

I'm one of the few in hoping for a second season.

Yep, figured that. I just watched episode 4 and it was slower than the first 3. The only reason I'm watching this is because I've been obsessed with Korean action dramas since Rugal.
Episode 5 looks like it has one of my new favorite Korean actors who played the main lead in Man To Man. Episode 4 had the main lead in Are You Human. The second season has the main character from Vegabond in it. These were great binge watchers for me.
This series is very slow watch. I'll be watching as a filler cuz I hit a drought in the action category. A lot of Korean shows I've watched led me to binge watch. This most definitely isn't one of 'em.

I'm now currently watching season 1 and is on episode 4 and will say it's an interesting watch. It's got that 'Escape The Room' type vibe.
These episodes are over one hour and sometimes I get bored easily so there were times when I had to hit pause or stop watching. It most definitely isn't a binge watch for me.

My biggest peeve that I have about this series concerns the 'murders'. These detectives have not taken each murder seriously.
I've never seen someone get murdered and have a group of people surrounding the victim and have a deep rooted conversation with each other and is joking and laughing throughout the whole ordeal. Are these murders for real or are they staged is what's leaving me scratching my head.

I think that's why people liked Signal better than The Tunnel because they saw Signal first. I saw The Tunnel first and liked that one better.

I did check my Netflix and yes they're on there but it's not something that catches my eye.

When I'm done with 38 Task Force I'm going to have to find something else b/c I've been finding some pretty dismal Kdramas lately.

Thanks for the Backstreet Rookie synopsis. I do like Kung Fu Hustle. Got it favored in my Netflix account.

I saw Signal. It was slow like Designated Survivor 60 days in my opinion. The Tunnel was better. I didn't care for both FL in both. The female in The Tunnel looked creepy while the female in Signal looked too Butch for my taste.

Both Sweet Home and Alice in Borderland may not be in my Netflix but I'll check.

I watched the synopsis on Youtube because it was considered underrated.
Backstreet Rookie had it as action which is why I tried to watch it. It wasn't action at all.

I saw 365 Repeat The Year and liked that. I most definitely liked Flower of Evil. I haven't seen Foe or Hospital Playlist.

Right now I'm watching 38 Task Force. It's very very slow but I like the main lead Kim San Jung-Bad Guys-loved that one, and the detective Oh Man Seok-who played in Partners For Justice-loved that one too.

I just hit a Korean action drama drought and is a little bummed is all.

It didn't say anywhere on the channel that I watched this on that it was a rom-com. I would've skipped it altogether if it had been. I've seen about 10 Kdramas that had the same premise as this one and I am now trying to avoid those at all cost. I even tried to watch It's OK to not be OK and couldn't get past the first episode.
I'm always game for a good romance but this series was killing me. As I said I only made to 21 episodes before I had to stop.

The main character won't be doing any more action series because of how much he got injured while doing The K 2 which bums me out. I tried to watch another series he was in 'Backstreet Rookie' thinking it was an action series but nope, it was a rom-com. Stopped watching that after the first episode.

Yes I agree. With the main character's confused look through the whole series that made me cringe to the sleepiness every episode gave me when I tried to get through them. If it's good I will binge watch, but if it isn't I will go back occasionally and watch it and that's what I did. I'm proud that I made it to the end but boy, every episode I took a nap afterwards. How could people give this a 10?

I'm with you on this one. I think I made it to the second episode before deciding that this won't be a good watch for me. It was way too slow.

My sentiments exactly. Maybe this one should've been 16 episodes instead of 12.

Absolutely not. She was that love sick puppy who whined and cried in every episode that grated my nerves as well.

If I sounded angry it's because all the Kdramas I've been watching since June or July of 2020 is looking the same: corrupt politician, ditzy female who's pretty but that's it. She's dumb and is a love sick puppy. Guy pretends to hate the ditzy lovesick puppy but ends up liking her. They're all the same. The only few that didn't have this synopsis was the Memorist and Stranger. and Rugal.

Same here!

I tried. Really I did. I made it to about the 21st episode before I decided to let this one go. The tiresome 'I got a crush on you, don't like me back but then I do like you' in EVERY FRIGGIN' episode got to me. The female lead was just too stupid for me. They made her out to be a true ditz in every episode. Why they have to make females look this pathetic is beyond me.

I would like to see how this turned out but too much lovey dovey got me seething. This is not why I got hooked on Kdramas in the first place.
