Kinda mid, but season 2 should be better

The premise of the show is good. A spoiled rich kid who becomes a cop and uses his connections/money to help solve cases. The part of this show that was an investigative comedy was pretty fun. And for a crime show with a rich kid as the ML, it was surprisingly very sensitive to victims of crime as well. But what I didn't like was the plotline the ML had with his past, it really dragged everything down. It took the main positive - the quirkiness of having a rich kid as a cop - and replaced it with another predictable storyline.

I liked Isoo's character a lot. He wasn't annoying at all compared to other shows with similar characters. I especially liked how casual he was, even his quietness at times. Early in the show when he doesn't know much about being a cop, you can see him just watch from the background as they're investigating. Usually characters like this tend to always want to be the centre of attention, but with Isoo you could actually buy him as someone who wants to be part of a team. So when he does flaunt his wealth it's always funny, rather than making you mad.

I'm optimistic for season 2, I think it makes a lot of sense to have a sequel here. Now that we got all the personal drama out of the way, it feels like the show will be able to go back to being a more fun comedy.
