Came for the plot, stayed for everything
I just want to start off by saying that comedy thrillers are always very hit and miss for me as it's quite hard to put the comedy element into a serial killer series well however this drama genuinely had very good execution.
Story:
Did they drag out the mystery plot a bit? Yes. However did I carry on watching it anyway? Yes. The characters are very likeable, their relationships are dynamic, well paced and interesting and the thriller element kept me hooked all the way through. I did genuinely laugh while watching this drama and the cinematography is gorgeous. The storylines and backgrounds for all the characters are important and realistic enough to be relatable. The idea of a girl developing superpowers and working with a detective to solve a serial killing case sounds a bit mad but they did a good job. They worked the supernatural element in very well and this also helped the cinematography as well. The romance is also really sweet and nice however 2nd lead was my endgame.
Acting:
I want to praise the acting in this series a lot. The comedic community was portrayed very well and every actor fitted their role very well. The main leads were particularly good as they showed nice adaptability with the sad and intense scenes whilst containing their contagious cheerful personas. The male lead did his portrayal of an outsider city detective well and had a good balance of likeability but also slight annoyance when he went against our favourite side characters. The actors also all did a good job of being possible culprits which meant you could never fully trust who you thought it was. I truly love the atmosphere of this drama.
Rewatch?
Overall I would say it's 100% worth watching but I don't think I'll revisit anytime soon. In the future I may want to be able to see the cute less dramatic features of this drama again but I think parts of the plot are quite generic or forgettable. It's nice and watchable but not something I'll spend too much time thinking about.
I also want to side note that the intro and outro music is very good and I really liked it so I'm now going to go find out who sings it and what the song is haha. I know I've praised the cinematography already but it truly is amazing. Solid 8/10 for this drama as it kept me hooked all the way through :)
