I can only regret not apreciating this show earlier. When watching the last episode I cried for all the emotional scenes and it really made me realise how much I cared for the characters, especially Oh Yang Cheol and Yeom Sang Soo. I put this drama off for a week before watching it on a wim and i'll admit, I was going to drop it around episode 8 I think it was when Choi Myeong Oh kissed the main female lead and that scene really annoyed me as they emphasised it alot and made it seem really important.

This drama is not your normal crime drama to where there is a main antogonist in which your playing cat and mouse with until when you catch him in the end, it's not a drama where the leads have super intellegence or they able to see scents or see the past from touching objects. Instead its a drama in which is very realistic and stays grounded throughout the whole show showing how a normal person would react and act in certain situations. They give us 4 very different leads who have different ways of thinking but at the end of the day they are all policemen and they all have one goal. 'Live' touches subject of crime quite heavely and almost had me drop it again after the whole serial r*pe case. That case was especially hard to watch as they were only highshool and middleschool girls who can't do anything in them situations and made me realise there are things like that happening aroudn the world without our knowledge and it really makes you self reflect.

With the characters, they were all very raw and real which i quite enjoyed for once.

The main male Yeom Sang Soo is a person who build a strong sense of duty by the end of the show and shows us how a real cop should act compared to all the corrupt ones that are out there. At the start of the show he was the only charcater I like as he didn't piss me off and acted how I wouldv'e in certain situations. I allready saw him as secondary leads in other dramas so it was very cool to see him as the main and have his spotlight which he deserves since he is a great actor.

With the female lead Han Jeong Oh, I can't lie I really hated her character at the start and her personality really urked me because she was snobby and so nonchalantly blunt with Sang Soo's feelings. When we start to hear more about her past it really made me self reflect because I judge her whole character just based on a few annoying scenes and never considered her backstory which I will now do that. When she was working with the patrol division, she was the most realistic as I truly feel that an actual person would act like her. This was my first drama for this actor and I can't say i'm going to actively look for her other dramas but if I see another one which is promising I'll watch it.

Now with my favourite character in this show Oh Yang Cheol. He easily couldv'e had the show center around him becasue the events he went through and the character development he went through was amazing to watch. We see his relationship with his wife and people around him of how they improve through out the show. The relationship between him and his wife was in my opinion a lot more tasteful to watch than the leads, they go through a divorce and get back together through a number of trials within and outthe family which brings them closer. Also the relationship between Sang Soo and Yang Cheol was great to watch as they went from hating eachother to deeply respecting eachother whihc was heartwarming to see in the last episode.

The OST was quite good in this, the OST 'Someone like you' was done by EXO aswell and another one called 'Why Why Why' by Punch. Overall the OST was very solid and I would listen to them by themselves.

Overall if your looking for a crime drama with very real characters with no abilty which makes them an ace then watch this drama. Personally I would not rewatch this drama just due to the fact of the whole serial r*pe case which made it very hard for me to watch even if it's fiction.
