Sadly not a masterpiece and surprised by the ratings
I really wanted to love this, i like Lee Joongi and the synopsis looked interesting but it was really disappointing. It started interesting but then it keeps getting worse and worse and it gets ridiculous in the end, not enough attention to details to be a crime and thriller drama. Everything was too predictable, full of cliches and it get so frustrating at some point.I didn't hate the male lead even if he keeps doing the same mistakes again and again, he has a good character development throughout the show (sadly it all get destroyed with the last episode).
Joongi was amazing as always but even his acting couldn't save this drama for me but the little girl and her relationship with him was one of the few things that i loved, i adored every single moment with them.
The Fl was probably the most disappointing character, she keeps trusting the male lead and stop trusting him within a second and it gets ridiculous and irritating. She doesn't looks like a detective, she continue to be handcuffed with extreme ease, she also makes very serious mistakes. I liked the actress but not when she was crying or screaming (and it happens a lot) i'll like her more in other dramas probably.
A thing that i loved was the villain, WOW, his acting was so good (can't wait to see him again) and i loved his character despite all the clichés. The drama would it be so boring without him, it's thanks to him that i didn't dropped it. If you love evil characters usually you will love this one as well.
The other detectives and the journalist didn't shine for me honestly. I didn't felt attached to anyone .
The Ost was not bad, little few good songs but that i'll probably won't remember for a long time. We mostly hear the same song and it gets tiring at some point even if it was good.
Loved the cinematography though.
It doesn't even come close to be a masterpiece in my opinion. I'm honestly so surprised by the reviews, maybe i should've not have such high expectations.
If you want an intense and good thriller, a good crime with a lot of suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat this is not the drama for you.
But if you prefer a well acted melodrama and cheesy romance full of cliches then you will probably like it.

A thriller that didn't feels like a thriller
I read the reviews before watching this and i was expecting a masterpiece but this wasn't even close to be one.The first part of the drama wasn't that bad but the second part was so slow, predictable and it gets boring. It has very little suspense, we could discover and imagine what happened already in the first episodes and for the remaining 6 episodes we were basically waiting for them to discover and arrest the villains, it didn't feels like a thriller.
Dongshik's character's was good, i loved that he was unpredictable and creepy sometimes.
Jungje was my favorite and he was the most interesting character, you will probably hate him at first but trust me you will root for him in the end.
Jihoon was so cute and lovely, i wished they could 've write him as a more interesting character to know better in the second part of the drama but at least he was a breath of fresh air during the boring and unnecessary long episodes.
I liked Jaeyi, she was pretty and caring but her character wasn't that special for me, especially the unnecessary interaction with Joo Won? I don't know how to explain this but they made it look like there might be something between them, i'm not a fan of romance in crime drama but maybe it would've made things less slow and boring in this case.
Special mention to Changjin that was the only villain that caught a little bit of my attention.
I couldn't see the big family they were bragging about, they didn't look like they cared for each other at all.
Same for the bromance i had high expectations for it but the main leads kept pointing fingers at each other and arguing for basically 15 episodes with some little glimpses of affection in the last one.
The city was deserted and it was really weird and the others cops have been very forgettable for me.
The ost was good same for the acting but i really can't understand all the people saying it was a masterpiece.
The plot was weak, it was predictable and didn't have suspense, the villains weren't that good (usually they are my favorites), one of the main lead was annoying and had a little character development only in the very last episodes. It should have had no more than 10 episodes in my opinion.
If you want a good dark, psychological and super intriguing thriller that keeps you on the edge then this is not for you.
