Oh gosh. Where do I even begin? This one is...watchable. The cases weren't horrible, but they weren't memorable either. To be honest the only reasons why I was able to sit through 16 episodes of this was for Song Ji-hyo & Song II-gook, and the hope of Min-joo reuniting with her dad (which the show left me utterly heartbroken but I shall not spoil anything). I was also interested in Se-hyuk's quest for the truth as well, which I'll admit, the writer did a great job hiding it and making it intriguing. Unfortunately, the big reveal was so anti-climatic. It was not epic and shocking as I had hope it would be and made me wonder: "Really? That's all you got? Really now?" It is very unfortunate because all the actors and actresses really played their roles well.Aside from the male and female leads, the rest of the crew was forgettable. Sometimes I even wonder why they're even there. Don't get me wrong, the actors and actresses were great in their roles, however their characters was just lacking. Again, lacking proper background story. Even though they are supporter characters, the writers should have given them some background story since they are all so close to the main protagonist! I mean, at least give the arch rival (Jung II-do) some background!! He's one of the mains too! Isn't he suppose to be this super smart cop? But he barely contributes to any of the cases nor the story.  They should have elaborated more on his internal conflicts and guilt, but no. Nothing but denial. While showing Se-hyuk struggling to find the truth, they should have also show Jung II-do's struggles for redemption instead of portraying him as a stuck-up boss who refuses to admit his mistake! As for the other team members...=_= The writers are cruel in their own ways (Yes, I'm talking about at you, Episode 7).Enough of that, if I rant anymore, I'll spoil everything. Should you watch this? Eh, maybe. If you have nothing better to watch or if you are a fan of Song Ji-hyo, then yes, watch it. Her acting is amazing. I truly believe that she is Jo Min-joo; totally in character. Must watch it for her emotional scenes! Overall rating of this series would be 6/10.
