I'd love to see this couple in another setting again!

The acting is amazing! Really good- no cringe moment. NC is super good too!

I love the storyline, really special where we dive into the role of a "stand in". this alone gives freshness to the BL industry. It really got me hooked, especially for 1st half of the show. It gets somewhat complicated/dramatic halfway through, but- the ending is SO satisfactory, that it's worth it

I especially like the last scene, it kinda gives us what we expect more of, but with twist of humour. I had a really good laugh at last scene yet feeling so warm and happy.

I really love Up's acting here. I've watched him in Lovely Writer which I love as well, and I'm glad to see him back and hope to see him in more BL.

The chemistry is really good, kiss scenes are good, and action scenes are good too. Loose ends are tied- it feels really nicely wrapped

I also love the overall pacing and vibe of the show. It feels really classy, well done and professional- not "on budget amateur" vibe that we sometimes get from BL .

I am really satisfied with this BL- been a while since I am this impressed since Last Twilight!

My little wish is to see this couple again- but this time round, lets make it less dramatic for them, I just want to see a lovey dove sweet BL story for them :)

I love everything but.....

The only thing I wish is if the old YeongHan is portrayed as happier than how it's currently being presented

I mean I understand if the funeral scene is meant to be sad, but I wish to see more smile/laughter in other scenes. I don't know, there's something about his look that is just sooooo sad. I mean, for a great life he has lived, i really wish to see a happy old man.

Plus, he looks like a totally different person than the younger version of YeongHan. Not just in looks, but in overall being. Perhaps, age has taken its toll on our young YeongHan :)

Besides that, I love the show very much, especially the part on the FL! When I first sense romance in the show, I'm like "you better not give me another cliche where the FL needs to be saved". Thanks God they know better than to do that and deliver us an FL role that we all love. Like, we can really see how she is the support pillar for YeongHan and has been helpful in many ways. I really love such portrayal of FL than the typical K drama tropes

The ending is extremely satisfying, especially when they did the last recap of all characters. The story is wrapped up very tightly and neatly. Well done

Of course, the acting, the story, and everything is great. I love that it's in 1958 and it gives us cases that is somewhat different from the modern day cases. That said, somehow there's a gloomy undertone throughout the show, despite some funny moments. Maybe, it's the nostalgic vibe of the 50s!?

The highlight for me? Lee Jee Hoon! Ngl, I'm here for him and he totally delivers! Brownie points? Seeing him in 50s trench coat is a look I never know I needed to see this lifetime and he's so dashing!!

Overally, I enjoyed it- I just wish it's a little funnier and. a little lighter in tone. But, that's more of personal preference than testament of the quality of show.

If you love a solid crime, action, detective show, with amazing cast, go for it. Every single team member of unit 1 is very lovable!

Worth every tear shed

It's so beautiful and touching. I'm very satisfied with the ending as it doesn't leave me hanging as I am not a fan of open ending.

If you're put off by the office politics, fret not. It's only a little at beginning and then followed by very satisfactory plot twists

I love all couples here and I really love the significance of flowers and its meaning here

This show is deeper than it looks with lots of subtle messages, beautiful lessons and lots of love.

The kiss scene is really hot too, could feel their burning love. I wish it's longer and more lol...

Apart from that, I really love it. I am not a fan of show that made me cry but this one is the rare one that I felt every tear is worth shedding. It's so healing in a way.

Totally smitten!

I am totally smitten by the Senpai here, especially his voice. There's a gentle demeanour in him that just melts heart. I love the NC because I can see how the Senpai is totally desiring Miyata! Although I still think the NC could be better, it's overall pretty good as I can feel that chemistry and sexual tension between them

The story is quite typical BL, nothing new, but it's still a really nice watch

I actually love how compact it is, so it doesn't feel draggy. That said, I totally would love a special episode! Also, it's nice to finally watch a mature BL, after all the school BLs!

Cute little watch

I love this couple, they are cute together, would wanna see more of them. 2nd couple is cute too.

It's a cute sweet little KBL school story, nothing fancy or major, but it's a a nice watch. It makes me smile and happy watching it.

It's not those "must watch" but I don't regret watching it either

It's just very typical KBL really, so there is nothing much to review lol Don't expect this to be like Last Twilight or anything like that, but it really is pretty decent!

Made you feel like 18 again

This is slapstick comedy style, so if you're not into this, then this might not be for you. For me, I had a great laugh that's much needed! Some scenes might be a little lame, but some scenes just hit the spot

I've come to learn that beside his known crying skills, apparently Gun has a knack for acting shy too. Each time he blushes, I find myself blushing too lol.. This is a pure innocent cute show, almost showing puppy love, and it's heartwarming to watch

NC scenes lover, you're getting none, sorry! Lol

I really enjoyed the show, especially last episode, My jaw is sore from smiling ear to ear.

As for OffGun chemistry? Never disappoint as usual!

Pls don't let MDL comments/ratings affect you too much. Watch the trailer or 1 episode, and decide for yourself since everyone likes different things. It might just be the show you needed to watch, or maybe not....

Very different than the drama, in a good way!

Oh my, I'm SO happy I found this. I prefer this than the drama, as it's more lighthearted. Plus, this one has particular sweet and touching story. It really is healing!

Bonus!? I'm so happy to find Shison Jun in it!!! I thought he looked familiar, turns out he is my favorite character from a recent show I watch. His character here is such a delight, I would be happy to have an entire series based on this character too

Overall, it's a really great watch. If you've watched the drama before, you can skip the 1st hour or so, and watch the rest. The first part is basically 1st episode of drama (to give people context of who ML is), and then the rest 1 hour is brand new case with Shison Jun in it!

Another hidden gem by Takahashi Issei

I love the concept of crime coordinator. It's not entirely new but fresh enough comparing to other mystery/thriller show of such. The plot twists are quite good too, even if some parts are expected, it still keeps me surprised, because of the well done acting and execution!

I love the mysterious music they always appear when "Invisible" appear. It really heightens up the vibe.

I'm actually here for Takahashi Issei and he didn't disappoint! His acting is really good..

Just wish I could see his smile or laughter which is non-existent in this show lol...

Definitely worth a watch, it's not draggy and really fun to watch. Also love the sidekicks, Ma-kun and Rose.

Psychopath + Body Switch + Light Comedy!

They switch body faster than I thought, so it starts off on a fast pace. It keeps me wanting to watch next episode. Somewhere near the end, I find it a bit messy but it surprises me with plot twist after plot twist

I really enjoy the show, especially ML's acting!! The FL was a bit annoying, even after the body swicth lol, but come around okay towards the end. So, stay on!

While I agree with how it ends, but I wish it's a little different. I think the ML's sense of justice to protect others are quite twisted. It's not as touching or heroic as the drama makes it out to be

For someone who is so kindhearted, talented and bright, I can't understand why he made all the decisions he made at all. In fact, it's quite frustrating and disappointing

That's just more like my personal opinion.

Putting that aside, the show is really exciting to watch, and it's really funny too. We've quite a sidekick too!

The mix of detective + psycho path + body switch somehow works really well

Someone gave the dog an Oscar!

Oh my, the dog really showed emotions, what an amazing acting! I feel like squeezing the dog all the time, too pretty fluff!

Dog aside, it's an amazing show. I really love the combination of the 3 main acts, they compliment each other well

Esp love the Professor who is so narcissistic in a charming weird way, it's really funny though.

Love the combination of how the Professor is a genius not just in science, but almost in a dectective like manner

Making this show a great combi of detective + science + humanity show

Gets really exciting towards the end, with lots of touching moments and life lessons.

First few episodes are great too, but they are like one case per episode. I personally prefer a show with bigger storyline that spans out thru few episodes, which is the case for 2nd half of the show

So, i guess you get the best of both worlds. You can just skip the episode if you don't like the case study for that one. Somewhere around halfway of show, then you'll see how the story continues and builds up from one case to the next.

Try it out and watch it. Fist few minutes of 1st episode and I"m hooked

Oh, the professor is really goodlooking too! And boy, I want such a giant nature park at home too!

Even better than S2!!!

You know a show has progressed when S2 is 10x better! I'm SO happy with everything, except that where is Season 3???!

I mean with that ending, I need a S3!!! Best part of S2 is Dr.K really, I've loved him since his first appearance

I was initially upset that Stella and Detective Cha isn't there, but since Dr. K is introduced, I'll take this deal lol. I also prefer Prosecutor Do way better.

I do wish Stella is back. But, either way, S3 pleease

Anyway, this is really good, like there's more thrill and action compared to S1 which is more focused on storyline

SO good! Better story, better plot twist, and better characters.

the plot twist towards the end, dammmn! its like i kinda know it but i don't...so its super thrilling

Plot twist after plot twist!

I've experienced more emotions in these last 18 episodes than I've been in a month lol

It feels like the writer is trying to put 3 shows into 1:

It feels like law drama + memory loss + prison break into one lol.

I personally think the prison break is unnecessary and it's kinda not making sense, although I do enjoy it.

I'd rather seeing the evidence being laid out during the trial for Cha Min Ho, althou I also understand why they want to wrap it up clean and neat. I just love watching law show ,I guess lol.

Both child actors are so cute and sweetheart too! Oh, the surprise twist for me is this

Our Optimus Prime LOL. If you've watched him at DOTS, you'll remember how annoying he is. He often is the case in other show too, but FOR ONCE, he is such a great help here

He is funny and helpful and surprisingly loyal. I really like his character here and this is a major character surprise for me. Coz, when I first saw him, I expect him to be the typical bad guy that he is

All the other characters are all very well done too. Touching and satsifsying ending too

I highly recommend this show! Old shows are indeed better, we don't see such great shows these days anymore

It gives you more than a breeze of love

It took me 3 attempts to watch this but I couldn't watch pass the first few 5 mins or 10, bcoz I find it slow and boring lol.. but, i'm glad that I never give up.

Once you watch pass the 1st 10 mins or so, it takes off really well. I love every moment of the show after that.

Short series = no drag

It's very heartwarming, sweet and medicine for your soul kind of BL

I just wish the kiss scene is more realistic lol I'm not asking for hardcore, but two lips pressing against each other is so akward to watch, esp if they slo-mo it? like what are you even slo-mo-ing?

This applies to most KBL honestly, although I wouldn't deduct any point just because of this

I can still feel the sweetness and all, so all is good, but it's just really nice to watch some realistic kiss, even if it's for a few seconds lol...

Overall, this is the kind of BL you watch when you're in need of your "feel good BL'" dose!

SO GOOD, it's underrated!

It has so much value packed in 1 hour, even more than some dramas that have 16 episodes!

I love the concept, it's not entirely new, but pretty interesting spin on it. It carries deep life lessons and valuable message that anyone can relate to. It's tastefully done, without making it too complex, simple yet deep.

I love the interior, vibes and mood of the cafe too, it made me wanna visit there, it's so homely!

I also enjoy all the little details like when they make coffee, the analogy the made using coffee, the conversations among them, all the little moment count.

No moment is there for the sake of, it carries a meaning

It's seriously one of the best drama I've watched in a long time!!

Sometimes, when I watch deep show like that, they can get too heavy or complicated that i lost track or focus, but this one isn't the case. It's still very enjoyable to watch, and many moments that make me smile.

We need more BL like this!

I'm starting to like Jap BL more, esp the short one seems to be really good. I notice they tend to have more nature setting like seaside, mountain, etc, that makes it very healing to watch.

This couple is so wholesome, healthy and really cute. I mean, they actually start out as friends before turning into lovers. If you've watched too much BL like me, finally...we get reminded that lovers actually can start out as friends, not enemy or FB.

Ryuji Kun is SOOO cute! and Kudos to Amane for saying "NO" to his fb. Wow, so direct and mature at his age. See, all it takes is a simple text to prevent all the unnecessary drama or toxicity that BL tends to have. It really isn't that difficult, guys!

Despite it being somewhat "plain" (non-toxic or overly dramatic), it is actually very sweet, cute and healing.

If there's one thing I wish for, is an actual kiss scene instead of camera angle, coz hey, that would be sweet.

Oh and producer, I understand it might be a budget thing, but that public bathouse is reallllly dirty that its a bit icky when i was watching it, like I really want them to get out and wash clean haha

Other than my minor rant, it's one of my favorite BL really!
