The School setting had little do with Teacher-Student relation common with much School Dramas, instead it focused on the difficulties and the politics associated with being a teacher. As have been mentioned in the Show quite a time “The School is also an Organization” the show highlighted this mostly. It would not have been a problem if this was shown as one of the tracks, but after being pointed out frequently I lost interest in the politics too.
Also all the information provided regarding the studying pattern or change in the pattern of South Korea’s School System, were too much detailed and for an International fan like me difficult to follow, ending up by skipping most of these scenes.
On a positive note, portrayal of character by almost all the actors was really good also the casting was wonderful, no complain regarding that.

The initial thrill and mystery was all exciting, to track back all the steps up to her husband ,what was he working on before he left or why was he suddenly seen at a different location days after his alleged disappearance. But as with most shows, midway through it lost its track and started making up unnecessary back stories of all characters. The ending picked up some of the pace back and tie up the loose ends but still made little logic to the Characters drastic decisions. Okay for one time watch and Lee Min Ki fans (Like me)

The 1st of my Japanese drama and I loved it! The characters were well written and portrayed so immediately I got attracted to their lives and stories and by the end of the 1st episode, I started rooting for the female lead wholeheartedly!
And while rooting for her crush to like her back, and also seeing her growth and confidence as a nurse side by side, making us viewers cheer for her job too. Great work done in creating a wholesome character.
Became a fan of Takeru Satoh and binged watch all his Rurouni Kenshin movies! (They are wonderful movies, the best)
A 10 episodes short drama with a nice story, perfect for binge watching any day!

The main case of “catching the ghost” was at some points scary, a bit draggy but ultimately it was a sad and emotional case. Also the personal stories of the Lead characters had it’s ups and downs but very well meshed with the main story. Also the team works and team bonding were portrayed very naturally, special shout out to Chief Kong who was my favorite.
The best part about this series was how humane all the characters were. Just because someone is a police or detective they always can’t be super enthusiastic about catching a criminal but can have thoughts for their safety too as they have a family to protect, or people who are always kind and taking care of others would not feel frustrated enough to leave at some point, all people are flawed, but despite these circumstances they again got up, brushed themselves off and did their work out of duty out of love.
Would like a Second Season with the same team.

The show could have been any other youth/college romance stories, but the situations, remarks, and a varied range of characters in the series, made it familiar and relatable. At least once, everyone has come across situation or remarks like these.
Kang Mi Rae and Do Kyung Suk were written as characters having less experience in social situations, both for individual circumstances and not for once did they feel awkward or stiff . A sudden transformation in social skills would have been more unrealistic. Their chemistry also very likable (never thought I would be fangirling over Cha Eun Woo).
Also I really liked Hyun Soo Ah, though portrayed in a negative sense; she had the best skills and made it easy for me to hate her.
Give it a try it’s a really nice show and in case already watched, let’s keep on recommending it to others.

Nothing much to say about the wonderful acting of the whole cast. Started watching it for Hyun Bin (one of my favorite since Secret Garden) and continued it for Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin chemistry. But for me, I got more attached to the secondary couple, who had a sizzling chemistry and easily rose to my favorites.
The plot had newness and the beginning was all exciting, making me eagerly wait for every week, but also it became predictable (like similar other dramas) and repeating (how many times were they trying to get her out of NK and people kept on getting shot!)
And the star of the show for me were the NK military team unit, the four men were the heart of the series, they kept me addicted to the series with their funny antics and touching moments until the very end. A spin off for them should be made! Best teamwork in a show, after a long time!
Over-dramatic at some points but touching and funny mostly, the show maintained its roller-coaster journey and living up to the craze.
Will be waiting for next work of Kim Jung Hyun (Whose character’s death I can’t accept) and would love if he pairs up with Seo Ji Hye again.
