Lacked detail and depth

It felt rushed, especially the relationship between Soo Yeon and Yeo Reum. It didn't seem like there was any emotion connection or struggle then bam, they're in a relationship. Im honestly left wondering the entire time, what does Yeo Reum see in this guy? Their whole dynamic is very awkward.

The resolutions of day the day storylines within the airport are also fairly disappointing and a bit boring. Apart from the episode with the foreign actor, a lot of the airport cases were very textbook kdrama and didn't make use of the airport setting well.

I wouldn't really bother with this one.

Its a light and fun drama that mixes crime, romance and comedy pretty well.  I was far more invested in Guk Doo's duel with the kidnapper in comparison to Bong Soon's relationship. The cronies provided some comedic relief but it got pretty drawn out and annoying after a while. The same can be said about Min Hyuks and Bong Soons relationship, as it's just not very interesting but bearable(i love Park Bo young, but her crying in this drama is super annoying) .

Overall its an entertaining watch and pretty fun to watch, i ended up watching just to see the kidnapper get caught because the character is so evil and smart at the same time. Definitely not the most compelling drama i've ever seen though.

Not as good as Season 1

Still a very engaging and interesting drama, with great performances all round. But the storylines and characters are no where near as engaging as season 1. It feels like each episode just fizzles out instead of a heart warming/breaking resolution like in season 1. Its also really disapointing that they had to use the loan shark trope for Woo Jin, and Eun Jae's initial issues with surgery/self prescribing drugs are just so far fetched. I feel like people are a star struck by a more attractive and high profile couple this season. The soundtrack is really lacking as well, season 1 had amazing BGM that could matched every situation so well. I didn't find alot of depth or sentiment overall with this drama. Again, It feels like they just wanted to use LSK and AHS' star power to carry this drama. Its still pretty good, but a far cry from season 1.

Very entertaining but not too much else

Quite a unique drama with some interesting themes. Seo Yeji is a stand out for me, her acting is brilliant and she plays her moody and dark character perfectly. Also very found of the support cast, all the character have their own interesting quirks and relationships, very likeable and funny as well.

What i don't like:
I'm 10 episodes in and the main story has started to unravel itself, but even still it's not that exciting. Kim Soo Hyun's character has to choose between love and his family, and is leaning towards the latter because he feels guilty. Not anything out of ordinary for kdramas.Why he feels guilty is what kind of annoys me, like dude, you were a dumb kid,

I'm also not a fan of the main relationship, i feel that there is a lack of chemistry between the leads. Seo Yeji's character kind of just forces herself onto him, and he basically does the bare minimum to reciprocate feelings. Pretty disappointed in the "met at childhood" trope that was used, kind of a cheap way to build the relationship from a character perspective.

Overall the relationship is odd, we've seen the male leads be the 'carer' of the female lead in a bunch of other kdramas before, but this one is taking it literally which is funny.

Regardless, i'm going to finish it because it is still fun to watch. But beyond that, there isn't a deeper level to this at the moment from i've seen. Maybe ill change my mind by the end.

Good, but not great

An interesting premise, and explores a side of crime dramas beyond the usual clues and characters having an einstein moment. Where the drama falls short is in the character development and the amount of them which are redundant. A lot of characters are introduced but don't really drive the plot or serve any significant purpose. Case and point is the journalist and her boss. They don't affect the plot whatsoever, and are pretty redundant outside of giving the Behaviour Analysis team an interview. Yet we see them every single episode bickering. Same goes with the data analyst on their team, he doesn't contribute anything apart from helping them bounce ideas and just stays in the office. The two leads also lack chemistry, we don't see them learn alot about each other. There are also some pretty underwhelming resolutions to some of the serial killers.

Compared to Signal or Beyond Evil, it falls short.

Oh boy, here we go.  Before even watching this drama the first thing that stands out is the all star line up, it has to be good drama right?
The story line covers every single K-drama trope that exists and brings nothing new to the table. Acting is alright( as you would expect from this cast) however PSH is an absolute vegetable  as K-drama law demands and gets tossed around by the two main male leads. Soundtrack is pretty bad also, whenever an emotional moment is occurring, the soundtrack blasts "Love is the moment" into your ears and kills the entire mood, just a poor choice of song. The beginning of the drama is also pretty cringey, starting the in California(LMH's english is painfully bad and dialogue is awkward).

Overall, i would not recommend.
