Nothing special.
The investigation and the actors were the most enjoyable part but the romance was nothing special. I did not feel chemistry between the 2 leads, their romance was weak. The best performance was the main villain, Jeong Hyeon Su and the support lead, Ji Hae. I wish she had more screen time and a better storyline, I wanted to see more of her.There were things that were left unconclusive unfortunately and some things that dragged on way too long. Ji Chang Wook was great but I did not really believe that he was head over heals for Bong-Hui. The actress is very talented but I just did not really feel any chemistry with JCW. They were doing their best but sometimes it just doesn’t work out! I just finished it because I don’t like leaving things, but probably I will not watch this again.

I will be honest and say that I've managed to get through this drama because of two big reasons: Ji Chang Wook and Dong Ha. I re-started this series because after witnessing JCW's splendid acting in Healer I've decided to slowly go through his entire body of work. And since I wasn't able to finish this one in the past I decided to start off my journey with Suspicious Partner. Of course he didn't disappoint although I feel his acting capabilities were not really taken advantage of to their fullest in this one.
The acting on part of the cast is good and there are some really heartfelt moments. But the show stealers for me are definitely those two. This was my first drama with Dong Ha and I was really impressed with his acting! He was fantastic as the killer and I think his character had the most depth out of the entire lot. I definitely anticipated the scenes he was going to be in with great interest! I truly look forward to seeing him again.
The romance aspect of the drama was so so. I felt the leads had more chemistry as very good friends rather than romantic partners.
I think the real issue with this drama is its length. It was too long and there were many scenes that I felt had no relevance to moving the plot forward. It really felt like fillers. If this would have been a 16/32 or even less episode drama I believe it would have tightened up the story a lot more. As it is now the story just meanders through some seemingly established plot points and doesn't make use of its screen time to develop the characters or build the tension of the action scenes that inevitably happen in this type of series.
Overall a so so drama. Not too bad but not the greatest either. Will probably not rewatch it

The cast were amazing and the plot was close to perfect which is why I gave it a ten. I still think about it frequently even though I watched it a month ago

I love the plot of the drama, not too much heavy and not too much light. This drama gives me to continue watching it because mostly it has a suspense ending of each episode.
2. Ji chang wook
The reason behind why I watched this drama because of ji chang wook, this is the first time I watched him acting on screen. (I haven't watch the healer yet but its on my watchlist) I really fall for him, he is one of my ideal type, he is perfect! The way he stare at Bong Hee, the way he feel so concerned of her, it makes me fall in love for him more HAHA! For those who are Ji Chang Wook fans, I understand you all HAHA!
3. The hot scenes HAHAH!
Ji chang wook is so hot! I don't have much to say! It makes me feel "butterflies in my stomach" lol!I don't know why I love their hot scenes, I can't get over it after haha! Both Nam Ji Hyun and Ji Chang wook have a good chemistry in this drama! I know they are 9 years of age gap but for me, it is not really obvious.
4. Cute ending
I know most of kdrama fans don't want a sad ending, if you are this people, suspicious partner is good for you! The ending is more sweetness to the both of them. They end up with each other.
5. Style of drama
I don't like much the style of it because there are scenes that are suspense but then it started to slow down and a lot of talking inside their heads and there are scenes that keeps repeating all over again. I think its not a good timing. This is the reason why It's not my 10/10 rating
Overall, I enjoyed the drama, It's hard for me to move-on! I cannot sleep after watching, I always keep thinking about it over and over. For those who don't like heavy drama, this is a "must watch" for you

Entregou quase tudo que prometeu
Esse dorama já apareceu nas minhas recomendações diversas vezes, mas ele nunca me chamou atenção e eu sempre tive receio de começar a assistir por ser um dorama mais "antigo" (não me julgue, eu amo doramas antigos, mas a maioria costuma ser uma bomba), decidi assistir My Suspicious Partner no impulso quando minhas férias escolares começaram, logo no primeiro episódio o dorama me prendeu totalmente. Eu sou rendida a doramas que tem um plot interessante além do relacionamento dos protagonistas, principalmente sendo um caso criminal.Logo no início eu gostei muito da FL, ela tem um ótimo senso de humor, não abaixa a cabeça pra ninguém e sabe se posicionar. Eu já conhecia o ator do ML mas nunca tinha visto nenhum de seus trabalhos, e agora me encontro adicionando diversos doramas que ele participou apenas por ser ele atuando, ele tem um humor corporal que me faz acreditar que ele é pai do Rowoon, suas expressões faciais são únicas e eu amei o jeitinho desse personagem, eu amo os surtos dele no trabalho e principalmente o fato dele ser um pouco fechado e reservado mas sempre demonstrar afeto do jeito dele pra FL sem se importar com oque o resto das pessoas vão achar.
Esse dorama tem 20 ep e eu achei um número bom por causa de tudo que eles precisavam desenvolver no plot.
Os primeiros episódios foram perfeitos, tinham um ritmo bom e não ficavam enrolando muito, mas, como eu sempre sinto em todo dorama que eu assisto, os últimos ep diminuíram um pouco o nível. Eu sinto que eles focaram muito na história do assassinato e fizeram um trabalho impecável, mas, no romance do casal principal eu senti falta de um pouco de química e momentos só deles, além disso, achei desnecessário eles demorarem tanto pra desenrolar toda a questão do passado deles por causa da morte de seus pais, eles tiveram ótimos diálogos e uma ótima comunicação no dorama todo, e eu imaginei que eles fossem se resolver de forma mais rápida, mas entendo que é um típico clichê de todo dorama ter esse momento de conflito do casal e achei até justificável eles darem um tempo, mas não tão longo quanto foi.
Continuando no tópico romance, o casal secundário pra mim era totalmente descartável, a história deles foi confusa no começo e eles demoraram tempo demais pra fazer a grande revelação de que não teve traição nenhuma, e pra mim foi inútil eles falarem disso porque no final das contas eles não conversaram sobre isso com o Jiwook e não mudou em nada na história, eles agiam como se fossem adolescentes e como se o relacionamento deles fosse totalmente proibido, sendo que o Jiwook já tinha superado e estava em outro relacionamento.
Voltando ao tópico crime, uma das histórias mais bem escritas que eu já vi em dorama foi a do Hyun-soo, ele foi muito bem interpretado por um grande ator que merecia mais reconhecimento, porque ele entregou muito bem em todas as cenas em que ele aparecia, nas suas expressões faciais, corporais e até mesmo o tom da sua voz. Mesmo sendo o vilão de toda a história eu não conseguia odiá-lo pelo fato dele ser tão complexo. Eu assistiria o dorama todo apenas pelas cenas dele. Oque me decepcionou foi o seu final, eles esqueceram dele em alguns episódios finais e finalizaram a história dele muito depressa, eu queria mais desse personagem tão bem feito, acho que faltou uma cena de impacto dele sendo preso e aceitando seu destino, ou algo assim.
No geral, acho que esse dorama vale muito a pena, e fiquei chocada com as reviews e notas tão baixas, mas entendo as críticas e gosto é gosto.

To be honest it took me about three month to finish this drama. I don't know why, but I watched a bunch of episodes all together and then stoped because I get tired,but then, after a while away I would comeback for more, by the middle of the series I would find myself a bit bored from watching it and I would stop again. I think that the drama should had just 32 episodes, they stretched the story line to much so in the middle it just got bored. But at least the ending was quite good.
The premise for this drama is interesting. We follow the lovably and naive (and a bit crazy too) Eun Bong-Hee as she becames a trainee prosecutor under Noh Ji-Wook our other main character. As the story moves foward Bong-hee ends up becoming a suspect of a murder and it's when the mystery part of the show starts, as both Ji-Wook and Bong-Hee try to find the real culprit.
During the drama we have other small cases to fill the holes and a whole character's backstory wich makes everything connect or disconnect (when you watch the show you will understand). Something that made me a bit sad it's how poorly, in my opinion, the second couple story was handled and how they let to the very end to tie up everything, which made everyting look rushed. I really liked Eun-Hyuk and Yoo-Jung chemistry during the whole show and I think their story deserved better.
Hyun-Soo divide me, because I really hated him, but by the middle of the drama I was in love, I just wanted to know how everyting would turned out. In the end I think I felt a bit sad for him. I also loved all the support cast from Mr. Byun to Mr. Bang and his amazing personality, but the one I loved the most was Ji-Hae, she might not have a big role in the drama, but that girl is kinda of amazing, I love how sassy she is and the all love-hate relation she has with Bong-Hee, simply amazing. (But in the first half of the drama I hated her a lot, but she gets much better after that).
Cast / Acting: The acting was amazing, Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji-Hyun were amazing together, and I just loved the way Chang-Wook portrayed his character, I just fell in love. Nam Ji-Hyun did also a good job even though at some point in the middle of the drama I felt that her character was a bit to naive and to innocent for her age, but that's not the actress fault, it's more the writer fault. She did a great job despite that. Choi Tae Joon and Nara were great too even though I think the writers didn't do a good job with her character, Yoo-Jung was there, sometimes, not as much as I expect from a main role, but she was there doing her job, and I kinda liked her character more when she was drunk.
Dong-Ha, I don't have words to describe the mix of feelings for his character, like I said before I really hated his character but for some reason I also liked it a lot so I'm confuse. But overall his portrayed of Hyun-Soo was simply brilliant I really want to see more of him in the future.
The cast was brilliant and I really could feel the overall chemistry between them!
Now let's talk abou the whole romantic comedy mystery thing. I mean it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. I think they weren't able to blend well the two genres together, so sometimes we had a lot of romance and lack of mystery, other times we had to much mystery a lack of romance. So it wasn't well balance principally by the beginning of the second half of the drama, the romance and the murder mystery were unbalenced which originated a regular romance and a regular mystery, it didn't outstanded and I felt a bit disappointed.
I liked the OST, was not the best ever, but it really suited the moments. I liked the cinematography, the light thing they did in the kiss scenes looked kinda pretty and it was like a sign that something romantic was about to happen.
Will I watch this drama again? Maybe, but like any other mystery or suspense drama, it is intriguing just the first time, because you don't know what to expect, but when you have already watched, it kinda lost the fun, but when I forget about the plot I'll maybe give it a shot again, maybe. I recommend this drama if you like cute couples being cute and brutal villains. It's not the best in this new trend of mixing romantic comedy and death but it's not the worst and definitely deserves a shot at least once.

It could have been done in 25 episodes
Got so bored halfway through and had to force myself to finish it and only by skipping through more boring parts. They could have made it 10 episodes (1/3) shorter. I did really like the twists and turns with Jung Hyun Soo's story and the actor that played him did an incredible job. Really all the actresses and actors did a great job. They were able to convey so much feeling, gah, I mean Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun were the main characters. That is all that need to be said. They were the reason why I came, and the reason why I stayed (and for Hyun Soo. Bad characters are even harder to act out). I particularly loved Na Ji Hae and Eun Bong Hee's relationship/interactions. and Eun Hyuk and Section Chief Bang.Still, they could have 100% left the drama about their fathers out.

The story is interesting, but I agree with others that it got a tiny bit draggy sometimes. Yet, there is still enough to keep you watching so I wouldn't say it's negative. There are a lot of comedy scenes in this which loosen up the otherwise more serious story about the murderer. I loved how the story makes Ji Eun Hyuk not a second male lead that also falls for the female lead, but a supportive friend who's secretly cheering for the couple and encouraging them.
What I loved the most was the cast and wonderful chemistry. Ji Chang Wook and Nam Ji Hyun make such a cute couple on screen. The other actors such as Choi Tae Joon, Nara, Dong Ha, Kim Ye Won, Yoon Bok In, Nam Ki Ae and Lee Deok Hwa (to name a few) were a pleasure to watch as well and totally fitted in making the whole drama complete. I must admit that the murderer gave me chills. Very good! They all portrayed their character so well. I knew Jang Hyuk Jin from Mad Dog already and enjoyed his wonderful acting here again. He became a favorite of mine. :) Just because of the cast this drama is worth a try.
The music picked my interest and I like it. It's fitting the drama very well and contains nice ballads such as "The Same Day" by Ra. D, "The Memory Of That Day" by NELL or "How About You" by CHEEZE aside lighthearted tunes like "Why You" by SEENROOT.
I'll definitely rewatch this when I want something more lighthearted. The scenes with Ji Chang Wook with others from the cast like Nam Ji Hyun or Choi Tae Joon alone are worth rewatching. XD
The 30 minutes long episodes are easy to watch in between.
Overall I highly recommend this drama to anyone who enjoys law themed dramas with a good portion of romance and comedy. I liked how well they balanced the different genres. It's funny without giving you the feeling of forced slap stick humor, is exciting without being too dark and has just the right amount of law to not make it boring. It's one of my favorite dramas now.

So..."Suspicious Partner" is very unrealistic, don't think it is a serious drama about Law and Thriller, it's actually more a RomCom. I love Ji Chang Wook (I miss him so badly TT) but I prefer seeing him in more "serious" or "action" roles, like "K2" or "Healer".
Nam Ji Hyun it's such a cutie, even her voice is cute!
The chemistry between these two was awesome and adorable.
Nara is pretty AF
The drama is very funny and enjoyable in every minute.
