So Lee Jong Suk tends to play a similar role in all his dramas, but I've got to be honest, I'm a complete sucker (pun intended) for them anyways. This drama really hit the spot for me. I didn't a drama that didn't have too much angst and this was light hearted and angst was replaced by thrill and suspense.
Plot: I liked this drama a lot. It's kind of cliche but I think it's almost a perfect interweaving of something fantastical with a typical crime drama. Also, I really, really, really appreciated that the second male lead was not whiny and he didn't make the whole romance dynamic weird. And for the male lead to know and be okay with it; I loved that. I don't think I've ever seen that in a KDrama before. I also really liked that there was an open ending for a lot of the characters. They tied everything off nicely. I thought I got spoiled by the comment section, but it was fake news so I ended up being pleasantly surprised.
Acting/Cast: Suzy is one of the few actresses that I've always liked, which is a bit rare for me. Lee Jong Suk has played many similar roles, but I thought the "cutesy" aspect was endearing/hilarious, so there's that. Also Jung Hae In is one of my favorites, just in everything. He really excelled in his role here. To be honest, I've mostly only seen him in melodramas, except for Prison Playbook, so seeing an even greater extent of his comedic exchanges blew me out of the water. Also! he! had! a! scene! with! facial! hair! What a blessing. Thank you KDrama gods.
OSTs: Cute and catchy; I found myself singing along.
Rewatch: Probably at some point, but it's maybe not high on the list for a full rewatch. I'd probably just got to youtube to watch certain clips again.
TLDR; This was just what the drama doctor prescribed. Kind of full of cliches, but well cast and produced gold is still gold no matter how cheesy.
