This is so bad I want to give it a 0 but I can't so I'm giving it a 1
This is without a doubt the worst drama I have ever watched.Dear lord I cannot believe people enjoyed this! Do they think that good-looking people should just get away with the absolute worst behaviour!
Pros
- some great costumes
- The FLs house is an amazing set
- Music is good
- Allegory's a interesting
Cons
- The portrayal of every mental health issue in this is terrible at best and damaging at worst
- why would I want to watch a narcissist get everything she wants while acting terribly to everyone around her. (I know the excuse is a tough childhood, but seriously does that excuse everything! - to quote Jake Perolta "Cool motive, still murder") Her actions are often inexcusable.
- The male lead is a covert narcissist too. He is obviously not well mentally either, the chip on his shoulder should have crushed him to death already.
- The leads knew each other as kids trope is weak
- the plot is dumb, a villian getting surgery to look like someone else is a lame Bond film plot.

This one deserves the hype
I would say this isnt a typical Kdrama its clear that its netflix made. But the acting and story are so great I didnt really notice.I would recommend this to non Kdrama fans as it is just a great show.
As always Le Je Hoon is amazing, he is like a chameleon in all of his roles, completely nailed this character.
Unlike the garbage fire which is 'It's Okay not to be Okay' the portrayal of Aspergers here is handled with sensitivity, allowing the character to have depth and be more than just someone with Aspergers.
Even though each episode usually handles a death it doesnt feel melodramatic, it is interesting and touching. There are many bittersweet moments but there are also a lot of funny and lighthearted moments.
Basically a great show!

A classic
This had such a great plot with so many details and turns that it was a thrilling ride all the way!This was one of the first Kdramas I watched and it blew me away how great it was. Its refreshing how it can be dark without being cynical that the characters are passionate and always trying their best even though they are flawed.
Kim Hye Soo and Lee Je Hoon were amazing, I loved their dynamic as the story progresses.
This drama has stood the test of time and is still amazing. There are often whispers of a second season but I am so satisfied with the one season that I don't mind where there is one. The openish ending was perfect for me, as time doesn't end in a full stop it keeps going.
This is one of the best detective / SciFi / Thrillers I have ever seen
