Good but with some shortfalls
This drama was quite intriguing, I really enjoyed the first 10 or so episodes (well if you consider it as 16 total eps, the first 5 or so episodes). I enjoyed the mystery that it started with, especially with regards to Cha Wookyung’s past. The focus on the topic of abuse was also reasonably well handled, I felt for the children and got the message they were trying to impart for the most part.
However, by the end I felt it lacked a strong ending. Like, I understood what they were trying for, but it felt a bit flat. The focus was also heavily on Wookyung, and while I didn’t mind since I was invested in her the most, it made the underdeveloped police leads stick out like sore thumbs. They just felt like plot movers, especially the female cop. And since they mostly drive the story, it made the plot feel like the writing was more spontaneous than well planned. But still the story was pretty good. I also did enjoy the music and the acting (mostly from Wookyung and Jiheon). Solid 8 from me.
