I am a complete sucker for any crime/investigation dramas that has a Sherlock Holmes vibe in it and the moment the first few minutes into the first episode, the vibe it gave me was exactly that, I was immediately hooked! Safe to say that the rest of the episodes towards the conclusion gave me the same chills and excitement as when I first began watching it. The writing of each episode is incredible as they give us cases that eventually connect to the arc of the main story, so in terms of the consistency and quality of the story, this is very enthralling. Another drama that successfully deploys this method is Voice, and I haven't actually watched that many crime thrillers yet.
Seo In Guk (Lee Hyun) who carried this show as the genius criminal profiler who as I have mentioned above, gives off that Sherlock Holmes super smexy vibe is just way too irresistible for me, and I was actually devouring him way past this drama ended. This was the first drama of him ever that I watched, and although I read he had a hard time filming this, his acting looks for the most part very natural as if the character was written exactly for him. Some people say that the character of Cha Ji An (played by Jang Na Ra) was annoying and stalker-ish for the most part, but I actually wasn't bothered by her in a bit because when the two leads work together, their opposite characters and chemistry obviously blended well. Lee Hyun is someone who's really ice cold on the outside, so it makes sense that only a woman who doesn't really pay attention to personal space can break the ice with him. She also has a quiet emotional strength which complemented Lee Hyun's rational intelligence a lot. Park Bo Gum was exceptional in his role as the shady lawyer, as well as the actor who played the psychopath. I also enjoyed every moment of bickering between the detective team members.
The music was fantastic and I particularly loved the OST played in the background of the two brothers scenes. It accentuates the tragedy and longing that both of them have for each other.
Rewatch value for this is a perfect 10 for me because I have already watched this thrice, and if not for anything else definitely for the bromance.
