An interesting way to start and end the drama. We go from an innocent man being framed for a murder he didn't commit to an evil man who ended up framing that innocent man being framed himself for a murder he technically didn't commit. Karma anyone? Same with the police. Thinking they did right in the beginning but was wrong only to do wrong in the end but ended up being right because that was the only way to get the villain, play at his own game.
There are 2 sub stories in this drama but the amount of attention of these stories are pretty much ignored until the very end. In a way it bothers me because I see importance to these sub stories. These sub stories could've led to character development for some of the characters, including the 2 male leads but at the same time, you wouldn't want it to overpower the main plot of this drama. While one of the sub story does have a little connection to the main plot, the other doesn't. I rather the writers not mention this at all if there wasn't going to be much focus on these sub stories.
Romance? More like Bromance. You just see the developing bond between the 2 male leads from start to finish. They really do ended up being close as bros, not just with each other but with their whole detective crew as well. I will admit it, I am disappointed how there weren't more scenes with Ji Hyuk and Seo Kyung. They had the connection & chemistry with the little scenes of them together. I mean the writers even threw in a monkey wretch at the last episode, showing the viewers there was something there between Ji Hyuk & Seo Kyung. There scenes were cute. I'm just sad that their relationship didn't evolved as much as I would've liked to see.
Only one character that really stood out to me and that was Eun Hye. She had a good character development from start to finish. From being hopeless and depressed to having hope and living her best with dreams. Through all of her issues, she managed to overcome the hurdle she's been stuck in for so long.
To summarize: This drama focuses on 1 case so there are no other cases that play a role in the plot other than a past case being connected to this only case. While this drama seems serious, there are a few comedic moments that will give you a laugh. No big romance between the ML & FL but a big brotherhood between detectives is definitely present. Plot is easy to follow, OST music is pretty absent in this drama, & a good twist in the final episode, a lot different from your usual crime investigation dramas. I say this drama is average but good enough to watch.
