Hi. This is my first review. The reason I am writing it, is that I am greatly disappointed by this overrated drama.
I started it cause I read so many good reviews. Man, that was not true for me. I am still confused, why viewers praise it so much. I mean why? I really don't get it. Good acting ok, yes. By two out of the three leading actors. I hated the female lead, but I will come to that later. Good cinematography ok. But other than that? A messy plot, a messy scenario, too much illogical stuff going one, plus a stupid ending, with too little conclusion , too much suffering with inadequate retribution. Hell, why did this guy had to go through all these? What was this ending, really? I honestly ask you, did you all like it and were satisfied by it? Really? I am just shocked. Cause I felt betrayed and disappointed. Let me just write you a list with everything I didn't like in random order. Cause I let two months pass after watching it, to see if I will calm down. But no. I didn't.

1. The actress they chose, not a good choice. Bad casting, to start with. I didn't like her. The past tense of her, being naive, idiotic etc enraged me. Ok that was the part you say. They shouldn't picture her like this. I disagree. Why should she be like this? Why couldn't she be clever from the start. Inexperienced still but clever. And the actress, played this part, terribly. It didn't fit her. She couldn't convince me. Acting kind of sweet and innocent, didn't fit her. It felt just like she was trying too much, but with no result.
2. The radio element. Bad choice. So, although the two male leads were connected in the past, he finds the radio by a coincidence?? Ya, right.... This is a joke. And they could speak for only one minute??? And it was the same radio item that they both had? The same machine? And it was working at present without batteries??? Hahaa well that was the scifi element mentioned. Too many inconsistencies.
3. All these corrupt cops. Dang. There were too many.... My nerves....
4. Was justice served? Hell, no. I waited and waited, just for the plot to become more annoying, and then, Lee Jae Han has noone to rely on, he has to give up everything, how he did it, with no money beats me, I don't get it. How he survived, I don't get that either. And why did he hide in a hospital? Was he ill or not? Anyway, even she didn't help him in the past. Why? Cause he didn't ask for her help. And how come, the bad guys didn't find him, so many years? Were he pressumed dead? Did he stage his death? They don't tell us anything. This was never explained.... Noone thought to keep an eye on his dad, and see if he is meeting his son.
4. The first episodes were too confusing, and they didn't gave us enough clues, the cases seemed not connected and I was asking myself why I was watching all these. I must confess that I dropped it after episode 4 for quite a while. I just couldn't get hooked.
5. Why did the hero became a policeman afterall? Who would do such a thing, knowing how corrupt they were. He thought he could find the bad guys? But we wouldn't if there wasn't this radio, right?
6. After all these misfortunes, his brother isn't saved.... I wanted to break everything. Those episodes were so annoying. That was what I was expecting and the reason I kept watching.The poor boy gets coldboodly murdered, because LJH gets delayed by her, spraining her foot, omg what a silliness. And he couldn't sent another one, or call the boy, and tell him to leave the house...... Ok LJH gets rescued but only for a while.... What? The script was a disaster. Why everyone liked it, again?????
7. The main villains were roaming around and lived their lives until the last episode, doing whatever they liked. That was unbelievable. And the rapists were NEVER punished. So, what was the message, the scriptwriter wanted to convey? That you should never give up? I totally believe that she failed her goal.
8. So, so much illogical stuff going on. The note LJH wrote. How did he know that Park Hae Yeong, will find it for sure? And why didn't he write the main story, the main case, the most crucial, in the top of the list? And so many other crazy stuff. I will only mention this. In the past LJH gets murdered. And she, his partner,, his coworker, that was in love with him, never succeeded in solving this case. Why? Cause she was stupid , that's why. And the few first conversations that the two men, have through the radio, why were they messed chronologically? The timeline was not consistent. I wanted an explanation. I deserved one. First, he is in the abandoned hospital rooftop, gets knocked on the head etc then while talking to PHY from the future, he gets shot. Ok wow, and I am thinking is that it? Was he a guest role? No, no, no. Silly me. They talk again and then it's some years before that. Why? How? Did she write the script urgently? Was she in a hurry, or she was just pushing everything by the hair , just to be illogical, and hence intriguing, different, hence unique, well it was just pissing me off. Even in a series like this, I want you to convince me. I have seen Kairos recently. And it was written brilliantly. It didn't left me believing I am stupid. This one did. Or you are all jeniuses, that like it. I don't know anymore.
The two male leads were great. I respected them. And they were the only thing that kept me watching on and on. Also, the curiosity where all this was going ,and the need for justice. But I wanted that to happen in the past. I wanted so much that I didn't get. Justice for me would be, for his brother to live , the rapists to be punished, and Lee Jae Han's life not to be ruined. Maybe he would be safe, get a raise, and get married and have family with that idiotic police girl. In the past. Be happy. Ok that's too much, i know. Well just be alive and not hiding. That was one of the worst finales for me in a kdrama.
