A draggy journey to find the truth.

This drama indeed took it's own sweet time to reveal the truth. 16 episodes drama often will do that to you. The main leads went back in time to 1987 from 2021. One came intentionally and one came accidentally but later found their purpose on staying there interconnected with each other.

Actually , I never plan to watch this one. I started on this only because I was curious about that 8.6 rating.

So here is my thoughts after finishing this one. To me, MPS was a slow paced mystery , thriller drama. Going further with the story, though the plot building up little by little ,it never once hit the mark for me. I like my mystery thriller drama fast paced and get my adrenaline pumping most of the times but unfortunately MPS was'nt it.

Like most drama with unsolved crime,incompetent cops is a must here. I was curious about the killer but it was not the kind of curiousity that make me unable to sleep at night after finishing an episode. I got my sleep at night just fine. I think if I watch this while it's still airing maybe I would have dropped it at episode 8. So... this was one of those mystery drama that until near the end of the story, makes the viewer as clueless as our both leads were in finding the real killer .There were suspicious people until there were not. And that moment when they finally revealed who it is, I was like "Okay.. Totally not expecting that.." We don't have anything to convince us because remember, lack of hints given earlier . So when they showed us the reason of why he did what he did , it was underwhelming tbh.

The cinematography was amazing though. I liked how colorful 80-an looks here and many beautiful sceneries to sooth your eyes .

So to conclude, if you like your mystery drama slow paced rich of life lessons with a sprinkle of inexplainable fantasy this drama might be for you.
