Comments

BecStar May 21 2026 11:55 pm This KD has an excellent storyline and premises but ruined by a lack lustre script and lazy direction. The love triangle wasn’t required and it seemed like an add on. Errors of scenes made throughout with settings and camera angles all mixed up and the fights scenes were lame. I was expecting tension and got yawns. The lead actress clearly needs acting classes as her timing and line delivery is poor. She created no chemistry with the male leads. Plus the character was meant to be strong ended up just stubborn and stiff making it about “her show” was stupid. Pity the mistress was killed to early as she was excellent and really made the character a stand out. The actors who played the husband and detective were good and clearly tried their best. The score was painful especially on the so called romantic or sad scene, piano was excruciating. I will watch it to the end!! Haha

Zeila Mar 15 2026 8:17 pm Watched this because of Jang Seung-Jo. Disappointed because he played a bad guy again. Lots of loopholes and disconnects in this one. (She pulls up to the house in a white car. Secretary leaves and white car is gone, but his black car is there???) Also hate when dumb people confront a murderer. Seriously? Like they've already murdered, don't you think you could be next? Like one of the posters below, I also felt sad for JSJ's character. He did wrong as a teenager, but his thug father would not let him deal with it the right way. As a result he destroyed his life. He really loved his wife. Did not like the relationship of the leads. She did exactly what she accused her husband of. I should mention that the only character I really liked in the whole thing was Kim Myung Soo the detective's side-kick who did all the work. Played by Yoon Jung Hoon, he brought a smile and some liveliness to the drama.

Mochimo Mar 05 2026 9:34 am This could have been much better without the unnecessary love triangle. The female lead starts off strong and determined, but her character quickly becomes inconsistent and easily swayed, hardly someone trying to “uncover” anything. The acting feels awkward, the chemistry with both male leads is lacking & the plot drags. Honestly, the mistress sometimes feels more convincing as the female lead. It’s like the priority is romance, not actually uncovering anything. Skipped a lot of scenes.

chicdeal Feb 03 2026 8:20 am the story is good but tge lead charcter is not effective in playing her role..

cast is great except for the lead actress..

Lee Bum Suk Sep 05 2025 9:40 am This was not one of my favorite K dramas. It dragged, and the heroine spent way too much time staring with an expressionless face.

Zaneta Aug 24 2025 1:28 pm I have no idea how anyone cam defend the husband. He was ao anoying. Just a selfish, weak, self-centered, manipulative creep. I had thouble finishing the series because of this terrible character.

Rabapyca Aug 17 2025 11:38 am Dragging too much. 12 episodes should have been enough.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

I get it the husband made a mistake back then hiding the accident. But, Jungwon’s father didn’t make a difference by recoding the crime-in-action. He should’ve just call the ambulance/police right away. Forget about being a reporter, he should’ve been a decent human being in the first place.

Jungwon acting like she’s a saint, but she forgot that she also walk away from Eunsae when she could have save her in the earlier episode

AHJUMMA J Aug 04 2025 7:33 am I watched this drama because I am a fan of Kim Haneul. But I did not like her chatacter in this drama. Although her husband cheated on her because of his weakness, she became insensitive and almost cruel to her husband who was showing his sincere and deep remorse and regret, and his deep love for her. She was unforgiving and let her anger be taken over by rekindling her first love.

There is too much unnecessary crying on FL's role where in some scenes she should be more courageous and put her mind to work to get out of a critical situation.

The lover detective should back off when he has seen the sincerity, love and care of the husband.

GanIrene Aug 02 2025 7:32 am My initial apprehension was soon overwhelmed by the grippingly, exciting and thrilling plot. I was completely sold. The Positives. The two MLs were superb and impressive. I am a fan of Jeon Woo-Bin. The unpredictability of each episode leaves me eagerly anticipating for the next. The Negatives. The FL is not at her best. She also does not resonate with the character. Perhaps she is the wrong choice to begin with. I find her too old for the role. Is the drama worth watching? Certainly Yes.

Liquette marie pierre Jun 06 2025 11:38 am ....Heart wrenching performance by J S J...

The subtlety of the acting made this worth it..

angksud510 Sep 12 2024 2:58 am Nothing Uncovered feels quite similar to Hide in its dark, mysterious tone, especially with its intricate investigation and psychological tension. However, the obsessive love-line becomes uncomfortable, dragging down the otherwise gripping plot. Honestly, watching the 10 episodes without that overbearing romance would be much more enjoyable. After Kill Heel, seeing Kim Ha-Neul’s characters just feels exhausting, as they carry the same emotional heaviness that’s hard to sit through.

Miss C. Jul 23 2024 8:08 pm I love watching mystery/thriller/investigative drama. One of the exciting character is Yoo Yoon Young, but it's so early she died. The exciting episodes was until Yoon Young died. I am just disappointed with the last episode. Because when Jung Won together with her daughter visited Woo Jae, she is not smiling at all. How come? Can she just pretend that she is happy for her daughter? And also it's unbearable to watch the relationship between Jung Woon and Tae Hoon even though Tae Hoon is handsome. I pity Woo Jae because he really loves Jung Won.

anna watcher Jul 14 2024 4:07 am Bad acting, no chemistry, too dragged, unnecessary plot twists every episode. shouldve been 6 eps max.

HoneyB Jul 11 2024 10:05 am Time I will never get back. The actors are so stiff. Especially Jung Won. No expression nothing. happy sad scared angry all same. The detective seems to have no clothes and looks so bad in so many episodes. Could be better.

btw Jang Seung Jo looks like an alien. His eyes and ears.

Magda Jul 01 2024 12:54 pm Unfortunately I have to agree with some of the reviews. Kim Ha Neil’s was expressional! Her role was poor, yes she was also at fault for her husband behavior, due to her greed for work power! Though it doesn’t make it right for him to cheat. She was also very selfish with her treatment of the Detective. There were so many unrealistic parts. That I skipped 4 episodes. From the beginning it was a given that the actress was stalking Jung Won, and that she was her husband’s mistress. I mean that was way to obvious! I think that if here in the States, an Oscar would be given to the husband, actor Jang Seung Jo! Great acting, depth, emotional and intriguing. I also liked him in “Chocolate” . The Detective Kim is also a Very good actor! This series to me personally 1 to 10, 10 being excellent. Was a 6.

AJ Jun 20 2024 7:58 pm Unfortunately, one of KBS' series that will be soon forgotten by many. Rather poorly written, especially the romance -- they try too hard with it, and it is rather poorly executed as well.

Not Kim Ha-Neul's finest hours, shall I put it mildly. I don't think she truly fits in investigative or thriller type dramas -- romance and rom-com are her forte.

Ah well, when it comes to KHN, we will always have "On The Way To The Airport" to reminisce and savour ...

Mee Jun 04 2024 5:01 pm I watched this drama just because I wanted to see Yeon Woojin.. I like his character in this drama.. I hope YWJ plays dramas with the action genre like this again. ❤

Saya May 30 2024 3:51 pm Agreed to same comments here the fl soooo annoying and selfish no expressions on her face she doesn't deserve her husband love the romance between fl and 2nd lead totally unbearable and unnecessary hated watching there rom onther thing i didn't get who is the father of actress baby

ninistar May 16 2024 3:44 pm so messy and so long, forcing myself to watch this. all ik is im loyal and only watching for woojae bc my man did nothing wrong and is a victim to all of this, dw imma get u out of there bae xoxo

KDramasaram May 15 2024 3:29 am If only Jungwon's father didnt keep recording and helped Woojae to bring Nari to hospital instead. He was such an asshole. But he made the story anyway ?

Belle May 14 2024 3:44 pm The 1st two episodes were the best then it just became stupid. The FL is a terrible actress & the writers created an unemotional woman who could not answer a simple question. Like others, I also hated the romance between her & the 2nd ML. Unnecessary. This isn't the worst show out there, but it definitely isn't worth a rewatch.

Aimen May 11 2024 11:28 am The most Joyous person in the whole drama was our little MiSo.....Gwwddddddddd, she's the most Adorable kid everrrrr....

Overall, I loved the drama(but I do agree that this should've been a 12 episode drama)....♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Hawraashi May 08 2024 10:00 am Their daughter was the cuttest thing ever ?

Minnesota Sue May 08 2024 3:54 am The 16th episode is a Masterpiece!

   What happened to the three principals after the Award Ceremony Confession

Was poignantly and brilliantly executed; Compassion, 3 or more years for reflection (Including time for a Baby Girl to be Born)was given to each. Reasons for Joy, Hope, and a Path Forward were given to each. Bravo! I love this drama and I Thank everyone involved for a very Meaningful Experience. Minnesota Sue

Emerald V May 07 2024 11:54 pm Love this drama Sooooooooooooooooo muchhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's all I can say. I love all the lead casts, and some supporting casts as well. Just finished watching the final episode. Satisfied with the ending! <3

sf May 07 2024 3:22 am Too many errors regarding the dates when the different actions were happened. I only remember two dates, 2009 when Seol Woo-Jae committed the accident, the fire started earlier by the crazy Yoo Yoon-Young on the same day and the fact that

Yoo Yoon-Young married Seol Woo-Jae three years ago from the current day. I don't remember when her father died. How did Seo Jung-Won's father manage to be right on time and place filming when the accident occurred?

wnnny May 02 2024 9:00 pm Weirdly, Seo Jung-Won can't decide to divorce her husband Seol Woo-Jae as it seems /appears that Seol Woo-Jae has been lying, she decided to hurt her ex-bf Kim Tae-Heon years ago! Therefore, IF Seo Jung-Won starts to doubt her feelings towards her husband and develop feelings for her ex-bf Kim Tae-Heon, then it would be her husband's fault.

wnnny May 02 2024 12:44 pm In ep 7, it seems ridiculous that as a journalist, Seo Jung-Won is not aware that her husband Seol Woo-Jae is tailing her to Kim Tae-Heon's place.

wnnny May 02 2024 10:52 am In this drama, watched up to ep 5, it seems Seol Woo-Jae's face/chin 'moves' too 'upward' so it is not quite natural.

wnnny May 02 2024 7:11 am Start watching this drama today ep 1, I understood that Seo Jung-Won touched her father's body years ago. However, now she is no longer a teenager so it is ridiculous she did not call the police but touched the 2 victims' bodies!

Lili May 01 2024 7:55 am Okay, I will focus myself on the dragged crime investigation. I will just turn a blind eye to the stupid romance.

Can't stand the FL character Apr 26 2024 10:44 am I love JSJ he's the reason why I started watching this drama. I feel so sad for him. Yes he's the one that cheated but it's almost as if the love in his relationship is one sided. The FL is just soooo selfish and full of herself. I don't hate the actress just that her character is very annoying and frustrating. I get frustrated every time watching her being so mean to her husband and developing feelings for her ex bf. As a fan of JSJ who cant stand watching him in pain, the romance between the detective and the FL is just unbearable ?

Ashburn Apr 23 2024 5:46 pm Totally agreed with some of the other commenters who mentioned FL (KHN) as having lost her touch in this drama. I also wished the writer will stop trying to make the FL & 2nd ML romance happen!

Drey Apr 23 2024 11:02 am Can the write not bring up any romance between the 2nd lead n the fl ..Tf is this draggy thing..?? It looks like a force relationship btn the ex and the fl..Pls concentrate on the investigation

Hi Apr 23 2024 7:34 am This drama is so good. I watched this because of kim ha neul, but they all are actually good too. Almost stop watching but turns out the storyline and act are really good, I must say best drama 2024 (no exaggeration). Could you guys please add the episodes or season ?

5 stars Apr 19 2024 4:07 am Watch all episodes that’s out so far, gotta give a 5 star.. I was hoping the writing would get better or is it cause of the FL. She is a tenured actress, but for this drama she lost her touch. Not sure what it is, maybe this drama doesn’t fit her personality cause the ML Both ML, carried this drama.. either way the writing is just predictable and made no sense most of the time. What a 5 star, still hoping for the best, but not sure till which episode I can go up to.

Such a let down Apr 17 2024 6:06 pm Both the ML gave their best. In specific,Jung seung Jo nailed every expression in every frame as depressed, kind, cynical, angered, sad , dubious and what not. Kim ha Neil lost her touch , you would understand if you watch it. The writing at times made no sense or was forced just not well thought , though it had potential to go big.

5_ooo Apr 17 2024 1:51 pm literally every single character in this drama either has something wrong with them or they make the wrong decisions most of the time like damn..

and the FL needs needs to work on her expressions, its kinda disappointing

(SPOILERS)

only started this for JSJ, his character is so pitiful and heart wrenching yet hes done his wife dirty.. but then he realises hes in the wrong so he tries to fix it and help his wife yet she doesnt give two shits (understandable as she has literally been cheated on) but i just dont get how someone can move on so fast and go back to their old "love"? maybe its the bad writing or something but i think there should have been more scenes of the FL expressing her feelings to her husband + ex bf. bc rn (up till ep 12 has been aired) it feels like the FL just decides to throw out her husband and go full forth to her ex bf, emotions wise.. and idk why she does it bc wouldnt their relationship be controversial if its a detective w/ a reporter? lmao anyways i hope we get closure to some of these characters (i need woojae to be happy for once?)

Hyukiie Apr 13 2024 11:57 pm Yeon woo jin detective looks very attractive .The rating higher when rocom king and queen started romance in ep8.

jewel Apr 13 2024 11:47 pm I watched it because of yeon woo jin. His acting is on fire ?

Kwan Apr 13 2024 1:06 pm Is Jang Seung-Jo ill? He doesn't look like he's in good health, at least not like the last time I saw him in "The Good Detective."

Queenie Apr 10 2024 8:40 pm So far so good.☺️☺️☺️ The mystery, thriller, and the love triangle. ??❤️

Marcia E Wilson Apr 09 2024 7:14 pm I am enjoying watching this drama. The husband did not do it. It has to be the Assemblyman or the father. Those are the two that seem suspect. I love all the twist and turns. This one, I'd recommend.

Yazmin Mar 31 2024 10:24 pm Am I the only one hoping the husband is innocent? I love JSJ so much that I can’t see him as the killer! I have a feeling the Assemblyman has something in the murders, you will no present the villain at the begging and later forget about him!

Melissa Mar 31 2024 4:55 pm The big mistake that the writer can do it's to make a romantic scenes between KHN and YWJ cause a lot of us watch this drama just for JSJ

Ahjumma Mar 28 2024 12:55 am The story is a little bit similar to Wonderful World... the wife is popular figure in society and then the husband who acts very in love with her is cheating.

Miza Mar 21 2024 6:32 am I agree with you @DeeDoo. Whether the victim is dead or alive, a reasonable person would immediately call the police. They can then freak-out to their hearts delight.

Mystery Mar 21 2024 2:11 am Mom I'm still in epi 1 but I don't like FL acting and style.. not suit her character

Pimil Mar 20 2024 2:50 pm It seems that actually husband is probably innocent. But not sure why anyone would go with such complex intrigue, maybe they want to blackmail his father.

Dreamhigh Mar 20 2024 12:53 pm I just started today, I watch because I like KHN and JSJ. I have never liked YWJ.

DeeDo Mar 20 2024 7:09 am The story may seem good but I get annoyed when FL always touch the dead bodies whenever she arrive at crime scence. It makes no scence. She just need to call police.

Blooms Mar 13 2024 6:42 am assa! journalist again and thriller mystery ୧| ͡ᵔ ﹏ ͡ᵔ |୨

Emerald V Jan 19 2024 2:12 am looking forward to this drama. woooo!! i like both actors!! (actress and actor)

Alice Jan 15 2024 11:11 pm Ahhhkkkkl sound goood alreadyyy?
