Story: I liked the pacing. There were no boring scenes where I get distracted and then using my phone. Jin Sung was really annoying at first but her character got better and better. I did not really like how she was so POWERFUL, (i dont know if that the right word to describe it) but my question is, as a traffic officer did she had that authority to investigate murder? That was kinda weird for me because I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way in real life. And lastly, what I did not like was some of the characters didn't have that much screen time, like Suk-Joo. I felt like I didn't understand his character more and it wasn't enough. Maybe because of the cut episodes but after finishing it, I felt like there a lot missing. And I had so much questions that I think the answers are in the 2 wasted episodes. :(
Acting/cast: Jang Hyuk. Jang Hyuk. Jang Hyuk. Such an amazing actor. I must say he really portrayed his character well on this drama. There was a scene where he made this really crazy, scary look on his eyes and I really got goosebumps. But one thing I noticed is the way he speaks. It was so slow for me, as a personal opinion.
Music: Great music, my favorite one is DIRT by Bernard Park. I really love how they put the right background music in the scenes. When they have scenes with patients, I can't stop crying plus adding tear-jerker music.
Re-watch: I will definitely watch this again after some months. I think a re-watch is a must to this kind of dramas because you have to really understand it. And honestly, I had too much hair-pulling-while-screaming moments when I don't understand what is happening.
Overall, this is a highly recommend drama and one of the best in 2016. This is such a hidden gem that everyone must discover. It's one of those rare dramas where you gambled 20 and you got 100 in return. It's sad to say goodbye, but I will say hello again soon, Beautiful Mind.

I've always liked watching crime dramas. I liked thinking and I liked dramas that will give me headaches. And Evil Minds did. One second I was fangirling over how beautiful Fang Mu is and two seconds, I was mindfucked. This drama made me lose my shit, it made me think if I'm being fooled or I'm just really stupid and didn't get the whole thing. You will think the next episode will give you the answers but it will not, it will just complicate your mind more. AND I FREAKING LOVED THAT. Hats off to the writer, YOU ARE GENIUS-- like how genius Fang Mu is.
The back and forth scenes between 1998 and 2003 was a little complicated at first, but it was okay after. (I watched it at kissasian, the subs were a little off, but it's still understandable)
I really enjoyed guessing the murderers in every case (even though I always got it wrong) and this drama really made me realize that you have to pay attention to every little thing and detail.
Acting is great-- I haven't watched that much Chinese dramas so I don't know if the main characters are famous (I read somewhere that the main actors are newbies or something, not really sure if true) they've got good acting, especially Fang Mu. I totally fangirled over him the whole drama.
Music was uhmm.. okay. I don't really like the ending music. It was so creepy! (well.. can't complain since there's a lot of creepiness in this drama)
Gonna rewatch for sure! Since I know I didn't get some of the scenes (ugh subtitles!) rewatching will surely make me understand the drama more.
Those who like psychological thriller/crime I recommend this! :)
