Definitely the consistently funniest comedy that i've seen in Korean Drama. Nam Goong Min, who i've always seen play the evil psychotic bad guy brilliantly well proves that his range is as broad as it needs to be in this role as what I can only describe as "Dennis the Menace of the office world", taking on a much funnier role.

There's no romance here of note at all, maybe a couple of whispers in the background but if you're looking for Romance that's not the reason to watch. If you're looking for a fun story, fun characters, laughing moments in every episodes but at the same time some serious character development (it's always nice to see bad characters course correcting) then you'll enjoy this one.

Music was fun and bouncy to go with the general styling of the show.

After Sung-Ryong, I think Ga-Eun - who is an undercover prosecution detective - was probably my next favourite character and was glad they made her a main role and not relegated to a support role. Her character was fun to watch.

The comedy is good and easy, it doesn't stray into slapstick at all and generally makes use of character comedy, some funny as heck cringe comedy and plenty of insults thrown around to wind each other up.

Brilliant, definitely a good antidote to a dose of too many romance dramas to lighten the mind with some laughs.
