Now this is how detective dramas should be
Ik one thing I'll be coming back to this drama again and again. Seriously, Kdrama industry take some notes on how to make detective dramas and how to give something new to the audience.The plot and trailer at first didn't look that promising but woahh this one served me a 7-course meal in 5 stars Michelin hotel !!
Starting was pretty good... not too over the top not too mehh... It looked like another drama with Chaebol heir just doing nothing or doing everything with no real detective work but I'm so glad I was completely wrong.
This drama has everything character development, good detective work, multiple cases with a really good backstory for even small cases, and best of all the plot and the cast! first, let's go with the plot and storyline
It was catchy, it was consistent in giving us mystery and cases, it was well-solved cases and an amazing writing. At first, I was soo biased towards Insoo thinking that the team was not good and he was the only one solving everything but as it progressed I was able to see why the team was so hesitant to accept and how they each had things they're good in. It was perfect for me coz even non-chaebol when you 1st join it takes time to build up trust and get better teamwork and here it was shown perfectly. And when they got each other's trust and adjusted well boom they worked soo perfectly together. They all had many character development even side characters I would say.
This is the only drama where they didn't relate and connect the trauma of FL and ML even when they had a big chance to do so. Both of them got a good story and time to deal with their things. No backstabbing by the team, side character police whole can arrest their superior, no childhood forgotten meetup, everyone using their brain and best of all politician who takes accountability and resign instead of scheming, This dram broke soo many stereotypes that I'm blown away.
I don't have enough words to appreciate the acting of everyone. On-the-spot expression, delivering the right emotions and line like seriously idk what to say. And of course the production and choice of props and set... I'm telling you the best drama ever.
Idk if I can ever like any detective drama more than this one.
I'll update this once the last two eps release but I'm sure the rating won't change .. I trust this drama for that

The art of natural comedy in thriller plot.
I loved every bit of this show. The art of keeping light-hearted comedy that feels natural instead of forced, even during sensitive and serious scenes, is portrayed best here. The chemistry of the whole team was fabulous. All in all, it's a 100+/10 show.They covered really good problems people face in day-to-day life that we often ignore or don't consider how much they affect us and others. The best part about this show was how no crime coverage felt too dragged or too rushed. All of the crimes got solved at the perfect pace.
Also, I loved how they gave credits with camera rolls to even side characters. Now this is how film makers respect the cast.
Show I'd definitely watch again and again when life gets a little hard.

Best example of how much fun and thrilling maths and puzzles are
Wow just wow.All the genius and brilliant contestants, giving their best to solve puzzles and quizzes. when at last Hyun-bin said that after entering med he forgot his purpose, that one hit home. I think throughout my degree I forgot that passion, that competitiveness I had in highschool and I'm graduation soon. This contest made me realize how much I loved those things and how much I still am capable of it. I think it'll give the boost, motivation, and just some spirit to everyone who watched it.
But srsly everyone were soo good , like genuinely just soo brilliant and good I'm beyond amazed.

Relationship we face during life
The way they portrayed relationship between to character was awesome. The best example of healthy relationship can't be given better then this. Not all relationship will last long and not all relationship will have the same or desired end. But they all are important in the process of life. A drama without couple ending up together doesn't necessarily have to be sad drama. If closure was good even after ending one relationship we don't have to end ties with people in that relationship. The way both fml and ml are relying on eachother is one of my favorite part. No toxicity in relationship. They fought ,they solved issue but in the end they were always there for e/o dispite disagreements. One of the best drama i have watched so far. The love bloomed gradually. And the best part was they kept the line between love and like. The process of going from like to love was amazing.Was this review helpful to you?
