The tv drama is better, I recommend it, but for Sumoni, there's no romance either.

This was an interesting one. The plots weren't too complex and the characters were easy going. I was hoping for more romance than what was given, but I suppose it's fine. I recommend others watch it at least once. Especially if you like crime dramas. The opening song is a little silly though.
