If you want a good detective drama, skip this one

First of all, I picked up this title because 100 Days My Prince was real good. Also, I like Do Kyungsoo as an actor (and an idol). So while my motives may be biased, me judging this drama after watching 12/12 episodes is not.

I keep seeing ratings that are 10/10... seriously? If this site is going to be filled with biased reviews such as those, I may as well not look at user reviews here. Anyway, if you sincerely liked the drama, that is fine. I am not judging your tastes (maybe). But really, while the acting may be fine, the script feels forced. The "bad" trope feels forced. The cliches feel forced. Whatever is not important is emphasized. The good, "just right" story flow is not present (the pacing is really, really, really bad). The plot twists could really just, IDK, make your brain cells twist in despair. What more can I say when the villain can just kill off other people but not the main character? Really? Just so we can have a plot? This drama could've ended in 6 or so episodes if the villain really just used his brain a little bit more and killed off the main character.

For a detective drama, nothing makes sense in this one. If you want to use your brain while watching this, well, no, you can't. You might as well just close your eyes and cover your ears while your brain shuts down during the time you watch this. The writer(s) must have thought viewers just turn off their brain capacity by 180% when they watch tv shows. Well, that's what it felt like. I felt like I am being treated like an idiot for having to put up with the ridiculous plot twists and whatever they come up with. I put up with 12 episodes of this because I want to write a review with credibility. One that can express fully how insufferable the plot is.

Anyway, no hate for the actors. Snowball is super cute. Watch it if you like DO.

Edit: those who have 8 or higher ratings must be dandanies...well, not that I am still one, but I have his Empathy album because it is good. My point only: not all fans can be biased in reviews (although there's pretty much so many of them who gave this drama a high rating).
