Frustrating

This episode took me forever to finish. Kept having to stop to distract myself because it was so darn frustrating to watch. Arresting someone because you think you’ve disproven his alibi (which wasn’t fully recovered investigated with. This is Korea - CCTV and blackbox heaven. You knew he was at the restaurant at 9. You mean to tell me no cameras were searched to see if they could catch him leaving?) with ZERO evidence he even remotely committed any kind of crime is ludicrous. It’s also frustrating how gullible the Korean general public is also portrayed - believing everything they hear in the news when it’s constantly revealed how corrupt the press is there as well. What the heck does that whole shpiel about the military being dirty even matter in regards to the actual case? Are they seriously that daft to fall for that obvious distraction? I like the show but the constant sloppiness of the police and prosecution investigations (excluding the lead character, of course) combined with yet another drama making the general South Korean public look stupid as hell is grating on my nerves. I know it’s just the writer’s method to add dramatic effect but they need to start doing better research into real investigative procedures in Korea to stop making them look so ridiculously sloppy (hopefully, that’s not REALLY what the Korean police and prosecution systems are like, fingers crossed) and they all -drama writers - need to stop making the general Korean public look so dumb, uneducated and gullible. It’s making Koreans look bad to the rest of the world and, honestly, they should be trying to promote better general thinking in dramas to improve their society as a whole. Show what it SHOULD be so people learn to be better and smarter. With that said, I’m still enjoying the show. Just kept getting frustrated watching this particular episode.
