Pretty solid weekend watch.
Fun, chill, and exactly the kind of show you can throw on with the family without having to mentally prepare yourself first. 😂 That warm small-town vibe really worked for me, and the humor was actually funny without trying way too hard.
Now, the amnesia + fake dating combo… yeah, we’ve been here before. A LOT. There were basically zero surprises on that front. 😂 Still, the story moved along nicely and never felt like a chore to get through.
My biggest issue was Ha Young’s memory coming back. I really wanted more from that storyline. We barely got to see her in action as a prosecutor beyond a couple of arrests, which felt like such a missed opportunity. You introduce her as a prosecutor and then barely let her prosecute anything? Come on. 😭
I did really enjoy the romance/crime balance, though. The mystery itself was pretty light, but the romance made up for it. The cast was great across the board, and the chemistry between Jung Hae-in and Ha Young was honestly one of the highlights. They just worked.
And then we got to the final “twist.”
…Really? 😭
The whole long-lost-child reveal felt so ridiculously cliché that it almost took me out of the ending. And for a supposedly top-tier crime boss like Baek Sang-gil, I’m sorry, but there’s no way this man should be finding out basic information about the people closest to him at the very end. 😂 It felt less like a clever twist and more like the writers needed one last dramatic reveal and just went with it.
Still, I had a good time watching this. It’s not exactly a mind-bending crime thriller, and the mystery could’ve been stronger, but the characters, romance, humor, and overall cozy vibe carried it pretty well.
Easy watch, good chemistry, happy ending — just don’t expect the crime plot to blow your mind.
