1. The acting is so incredible I was screaming at certain scenes and characters I was fully invested. The parents are cast perfectly. Kim hye Yoon portrays the Seojins daughter Yesoo amazingly she is strong and frightened and completely corrupted by her parent's upbringing yet still has the strength to (eventually) be a better person. Every character grows in the end despite it seeming impossible (you'll know what I mean by the end)
2. A satire, completely over the top but also perfectly accurate, I wouldn't be surprised if things like this actually occurred in certain rich areas. The rich can truly be corrupted.
3. Very emotional with secrets that can destroy a family in a second. My heart ached for Hye-na and woo and the injustice they had to endure. But equally, there are some great laugh out loud moments to lift your spirits especially cha min-hyuk!
Please take time to watch this but be warned it deals with mental health, suicide.

For summary sake this is about a police officer who finds a walkie talkie of a missing officer from the 80s and he can communicate with him from the past at a certain time. together they solve crimes in the past and present.
It has so many twists and turns I couldn't predict what happened next up to the last minute.
1. If soppy love storys are your type of dramas this isn't for you. YES there is a female lead who had a past spark with the missing officer (I never remember names) but is all very subtle and never really brought to the service although their bond is amazing.
2. The acting and emotions are great, I was really drawn into every episode by the incredible acting and storyline.
Minor SPOLIER - The ending can be frustrating as it is a cliffhanger and you have to kind guess what happens but It doesn't bring down the story at all just think of the ending you want as it leaves it up to you anyway.

It's very funny, at first you think it is going to be a really heavy drama but the black comedy evens it out! It's pretty sad that Kim Je-hyuk gets sent to prison and for longer than expected for something any person would do but he handles it briliantly. His cell mates are great characters which you'll hate and be annoyed at first but grow to to love and be annoyed at. Le joon Ho is one of the best characters always staying beside Je-hyuk.
Don't miss this drama it has everything you need with a main character who is only really smart at baseball but you'll love him to pieces. The little love scenes between him and ex girlfirend Kim Ji ho are the sweetest.
Honeslty you will love this drama!

Great but
This drama is great, NO DOUBT. I would for sure recommend it if you enjoy slow family, community vibe dramas with no dramatic plot or "bad guys". It's a feel-good romance and the chemistry between the leads was great Until they got together. I don't know what happened but the fl suddenly did a 180 on her personality and the way she interacted with the ml, yes understandable now they are dating but it lost the spark/ banter they had before they got together. She was VERY, EXTREMELY CLINGY and HER VOICE irked me so so much it was honestly very hard to watch yet I kept going because I am guessing it is "normal" for the start of a relationship but it's not that fun to watch. I have noticed her calming down and being more herself again as they go on but this is just a warning for the ep 10-12 at least like it's a lot.Otherwise, definitely watch this drama it's so fun and everyone is so likable.

I have mixed feelings
Okay so I get the appeal with this show, I started quite interested and I didn't drop it because it was awful like I have with other BL's (aka History ) I dropped it because I didn't enjoy one of the couples and they share screen time 50/50.So Zon and Saifah are... odd I found the acting especially from Saifah annoying and not that great so I didn't really vibe with his character. I was also SUPER confused whether they actually liked each other or it was because of the BL his sister wrote (you'll know what I mean if you have watched it) So for me this couple didn't catch my interest and I mostly skipped over their scenes by episode 5.
Fighter and Tutor, on the other hand, were a great BL couple, the chemistry is amazing and the acting isn't awkward. Frankly, I liked the characters a lot more, I happily would have watched the drama if it just about them.
The other down point is that the story is kinda weak, there's nothing excited happening so I didn't even want o stick around for the plot. I can watch an edit of Fighter and Tutor and be satisfied enough. I am sad that This drama didn't do it for me but I understand that other's would like it.

1. The acting is amazing - The 2 MLs have perfect chemistry and deliver so much depth to their character despite not being able to get full background stories due to how short the series is.
2. The story is actually good. I actually enjoyed the story and the way just it was filmed it was aesthetically pleasing and even moments of silence and stillness added to the story.
3. A good ending. I won't spoil what happens but as us BL watchers know Happy endings can be taken from us often but in this one even without knowing what is fully going to happen the ending is satisfying.
I hope for another season of this drama and I hope that future Korean BL can follow in it's footsteps.
I hope that this does really well in Korea itself so we can start a new precedent with BL and FL dramas

A must watch
First off the plot is not like one I have seen before, it is such an interesting concept that will have you debating what is really good and what is evil and how blurry the line between them is.I love that it starts off straight away into the action, with no long backstory, instead the backstory is told throughout the first few episodes in flashbacks which breaks everything up nicely. The victims and their stories are very interesting and the revenge is satisfying.
Honestly, if this aired at a different time to Vincenzo it would be at the top of the list, unfortunately, it is shadowed but if anything I believe taxi driver is on the same level.
The plot is great, the acting is great, etc.
My only downside so far is that there isn't much depth into the characters especially the main male lead (although tbh they all kind of share the main stage but you'll get who I mean)
I don't know much about his past and he is very held back but I really like him and I hope they dive deep into his past and personality a bit more in the future episodes.
Don't hesitate to watch this just go now it is a great series I can't wait for more episodes

A series that ticked all the boxes
Everything you want in a drama was more than likely put into this. I expected them to skip over things most dramas do but it went into them and dived deeper than i even imagined.What I loved most was how this drama reflected life, the awkwardness of starting a new relationship, the trials of family, the trauma of stereotypes.
I don't want to give much away but this drama even stepped into subjects that are still sadly taboo in south korea and i respect them for that as it is real and they can't hide it (LGBT)
The 2 main leads (mijoo and seung) were a perfect match, their relationship was built on trust, understanding and most importantly communication, I loved the fact we would get so many scenes of them just talking and it wouldn't feel boring. While watching the drama I felt as though I could really see their relationship progress. There was no silly misunderstandings or drama just 2 people learning to love and becoming friends to lovers. The slow pace never felt as though it dragged it felt real and natural.
The other 2 leads (yeonghwa and Seo) had a little bit more drama to them, while there was no silly misunderstanding there were more trials to overcome. I am happy with the ending they had, generally because nothing was forced. They had great chemistry and even better personalities.
The ending was beautiful, it left me feeling complete.
Thank you, writers and directors and everyone for such a beautiful drama this definitely made my month!!

Maybe it got better as it went on but the first episode itself was a struggle to go through.
I know that some people really liked this and that's okay this is just my opinion that I thought I would share.
