The drama starts with Ji Bai our resident cop and Good Samaritan fighting on a train with a couple of hooligans that were bothering the passengers. If the opening scene was exciting, then that’s about it for this drama. Everything else was a bore after that.

The psychologist rookie they brought over as a profiler is supposed to be eccentric I believe and smart. She walked around looking at things with her head tilted, staring at crime boards, and looking at people with dead eyes and she still can’t manage to profile anything special and all I saw her do for the most part is speculate. They wanted to present her as the odd perceptive kind but she just came off odd.

The pacing for the drama was uneven. They spent time dragging out on plots that didn’t need it while blasting through the ones that could have benefited a deeper dive. Because the investigative methods were uninteresting, even when you find a plot that catches your interest, it won’t hold your attention for too long.

The biggest flaw of this drama would be how the investigation unfolded. It was basically a narrative, meaning they tell us what their conclusion is after the fact rather than walk with us through the process of how they got there. They present it in a way that makes them sound superior while they smugly look at the perpetrators or suspects and tell them “look how smart I am, I figured out what you did”. It was boring.

The romance was ridiculous. As the title suggests the Snail is shown falling in love, slowly focusing on his expressions, his feelings, worrying about him and slowly realizing that she is falling for him. However we are told the snails counterpart, a lion, who has been treating the Snail as a rookie under him for most of the drama, is out of the blue in love with her. There was no stolen glances, no electricity, nothing that would convince anyone that there is romance between the two.
