You must pay attention, because there is a LOT going on!

My husband and I can never agree on anything to watch. I'm alone in watching K-dramas because he doesn't want to read subtitles. Well, I convinced him to give it a try and we were both hooked!

This show is full of action, drama, corruption, subterfuge, tension, comic relief, and enough tension to cut with a knife. I'm not going to go into the storyline at all, except to say that just when you think you know who the guilty party is, someone else comes along and you find out you were on the wrong track. I am not, however, saying that this show was full of red herrings that didn't make any sense. This was a tightly-written and well-executed show.

The cast was exemplary. Everyone was perfect in the part that they played. I saw a lot of familiar faces from other dramas I've watched and was surprised at the range that they were able to achieve. Someone that I've always seen as a good guy was chilling in this.

Two of my favorite things about the show were 1) discussions and demonstrations on what makes a family. It's not always genetic, but a family unit can be just as strong by people going through shared experiences. 2) The relationships. The police detectives were just so bonded as a unit, and their interactions were so funny. You know, you give someone a hard time every second of every day, but when push comes to shove, you'd take a bullet for them.

I actually have that "let down" feeling that I get when I finish watching an excellent show. I've invested time and come to know and care about the characters, so I'm kind of at a loss. Upside? There will be a second season, beginning filming in October 2021!

Oh, and I don't remember if there was a tag for romance, but this is NOT a romance. I normally stick strictly to romances, but I'm so glad I branched out this time!
