Comments

Kristine Jan 10 2023 12:18 am It would have been really great if the writer/director knew anything about law enforcement. The suspension of disbelief required is ridiculous. He set off a bomb and no arrest or law enforcement or policeman at his door to the hospital bed? They have no clue where to look for the fugitive who kidnapped someone even though he was just caught hiding two people one for years in his basement? Parasite inspired? And the officer is alone in the basement with partner upstairs and the fugitive is out in the open and she still doesn’t notice him? They never checked the guy for weapons? A few twists. Pity some of the problems. The villain’s mother is not the cause. The family should have gotten police protection. A mob tracking them to a location of a relative and throwing blood and hitting them I don’t doubt happens there. Seen enough dramas. The family is punished for the actions of one. It’s like North Korea to a degree. There is a notion that the dad murdered so his wife and son are murders too is rubbish. I can see why the police were suspicious of the fingerprint with the ID found without the wallet in that manner. The pressure of the press and public and politicians to find someone to pin it on is huge. I think the mom left to give the son a chance disconnected from the family and without the same accusation. They already destroyed the relatives restaurant. The hate really spread to anyone and everyone. Korea is a tiny place. Hard to hide. The teacher the real Saint trying to encourage and financially support the person he saw would kill him. And he got a stab in too.

Fullheart5 Aug 27 2022 12:18 pm Ju hwan portrays a sick killer……..there is no loving……..no excuses…….no sympathy.'

URose Jul 04 2022 3:27 am I watched this drama because of Taecyeon and Yeonhee but in the end I fell in love with Juhwan. I think his character is stronger than first lead

Nash Oct 15 2021 7:43 am I've got no idea as to why there's so many hate comments..but honestly It was a good drama..I really enjoyed watching it .could be due to the fact that I'm a huge fan of horror and mystery dramas..I would recommend this to anyone who's found of mystery dramas..just watch and see ,don't go by those negative comments..from the plot to the cast everything was perfect..I'm pretty sure that you won't regret

Mine Oct 05 2021 3:44 am The storyline quiet boring compare the others thriller genre. The main lead couple don't have any chemistry at all and their acting is so emotionaless. I watch the half eps only. But ljh acting is so superverb and he played his roll very well. 5/10 for overall.

Eevaa Sep 26 2021 1:28 pm 9/10 the story and directing was amazing. But the main couple expression could be better. Overall it's a great drama

Stacy Jul 15 2021 1:27 pm Too boring, I took almost a week to finish this drama. Too many unnecessary scene. I dislike the way of Joon Young acting here, no emotion, so emotionless.

Kdrama fan Jun 26 2021 9:05 am Main villain is actually quite pitiful. Circumstances and people around him made him into what he is today. His father is also innocent but was framed and jailed for so many years till he got terminal illness and later killed by another character just for nothing. The only wrong thing he did is to take the money from the victim's wallet and passed the wallet to his wife to use, instead of reporting lost and found item to the police.

Villain's mother is really bad. I thought that she will commit suicide but end up she chose to abandon her poor son just like that. That's why I was not surprised when the son end up to be such a villain.

Kdrama fan Jun 26 2021 8:25 am The kid actor acting as the main villain's childhood, he is not bad in acting. I think he always act as those bad, creepy or villainous kind of child role , just like in recent kdrama Mouse, he was also acting the main villainous psychopath childhood.

Kdrama fan Jun 25 2021 9:41 pm Good show and good acting from both the male leads.

Iampra67 Apr 25 2021 6:23 am It started well. I really enjoyed some episodes. Whereas some scene seems unnecessary but the storyline was intresting. I really like ok TaecYeon.

Danish Mar 15 2021 9:38 am The dram was boring. the first episode was fine I guess. but it focused the most on unnecessary romance.

JI L. Vargas Jan 13 2021 7:38 am The story should have been good if the girl detective is smart. She is to naive to revel information to anyone so simple. The male lead as well as Lim Ju Hwan did justice to their role though. Good thing the show have them. I would say for Taecyeon, this is the best so far where he portrait a character, i initially though that he just an idol but his acting here is beyond my expectation. Good work also to all the support character, they did well.

NANA Nov 18 2020 9:22 pm I know Do-Kyung did unforgivable things but he truly is a victim. I couldn't careless for Tae Pyeong, his hardships were nothing compared to Do Kyung's. Do Kyung is a product of his environment. All he needed was someone who cared for him. I was so annoyed through out this drama because I truly thought if someone sincerely apologized and tried to understand him things would've gone much disfferently. Anyways it was a good watch. Taecyeon was stunning and Lim Ju-Hwan is a brilliant actor, everything else was meh.

Kimchi Aug 15 2020 5:17 am SPOILER ALERT!!

Maybe this is the first time I feel bad about a psychopath. I can understand Goo Dokyoung feels. His father was accused of being a murderer, when he reported to police they didn't believe him, the reporter who kept chase him since he was a kid, his mother left him, when he wants to live as a good person the people around him keep teasing him and said “no matter how good you are, you gonna die infront of the police”

Who wouldn't be frustrated if he was told he was going to die in front of the police? Even Kim Taepyung tried to commit suicide with Goo Dokyoung with a bomb! Kim Taepyung did a lot of mistake to Dokyoung.. Yeah in the end Lim Juhwan's acting here is really good!! He played his role very well

NightGems Aug 07 2020 1:34 am I really like the plot of the drama, also with Lim Ju-Hwan's acting. But I can't recommend both TaecYeon's and Lee Yeon-Hee's acting. They are so emotionless when compare to what Lim Ju-Hwan has done. Also the way they build up their relationship is too cringe, which make me sometime wonder if they were really in love with each others or not. Overall, a solid 7, for Lim Ju-Hwan's acting and the plot save the film

xxabixx May 19 2020 4:03 am i think this is the saddest drama about psychopath. i never pity or feel sympathetic to the psychopaths but in this drama, somehow the psychopath is really pitiful. his past is really hurtful to the point makes him taking such measures to take revenge. i don't say i can feel his pain, i agree him being a victim, but ever since he murders a person, he already becomes a perpetrator. no matter how painful his past is. im ju hwan really shows those painful, hurtful, loneliness feeling his character has. i don't know why people say bad things about this drama but i think it's great. the acting of leads isn't really bad like what people said. 7.5/10

Tai May 14 2020 10:10 pm I really tried to like this drama b/c I'm a fan of Taecyeon, but this drama was beyond stupid. It's one of those stories that should stay on paper and not be adapted for tv. Not only was the stupid, some of the actors did a bad job. Taecyeon did not shine in this b/c it was not a stretch for his ability. There was too much going on with his character from the beginning but his character didn't have any depth. I couldn't feel sorry or upset about anything he was going through because the character was one dimensional. Also I think it would be nice if he didn't always play a character with special abilities

jhv Apr 30 2020 1:11 am a good one!

gdik Apr 25 2020 2:11 pm I didnt understand limjuhwan at first because i know he can look/feel more evil with his acting skills but i understood his character at the end of the series.

This is also a good way of saying in a subtle way that the media plays a big role in disseminating info, thus it needs to be accurate. As readers/listeners we also need to watch out for fake news.

Lee yeon hee and taecyoon both need to date anyone publicly. Not necessarily them as a couple. I feel like they still hold back their emotions as actors. They need to let go a bit. But i guess that's who they are, i feel like they would have limited roles to play if they dont go out of their comfort zones.

Great job to the cast and crew. The story needs a bit work, it develops really slow i had to forward some scenes because it is cringey.

It still is interesting though. Thanks

Over all rating: 7/10

Itoy Apr 11 2020 9:03 am I love Lim Ju-hwan, his acting is great. Lee Yeon-Hee is pretty, I like her face though, but I think she can't act. It seems like she is playing the same character in all her movies/dramas, lacking of expressions.

gi Apr 10 2020 8:18 am I don't know if anyone realized this, but as I watched episode 9 (the beginning of episode 5 if you watched it 1 full hour) there was a detail error. At 28:37 where the scene showed the little hyunwoo went to police station following his father, there was a scene where little hyunwoo leaned on the wall and I saw a poster behind him and it was showing a picture of touchscreen smartphone (maybe it was a poster telling you how to do something with smartphone). I mean it was a scene happened 20 years ago and how come there was a poster showing a smartphone back when a touchscreen (like in the poster) highly probably not release? or am I mistakenly saw it?

Kunur Apr 10 2020 2:42 am To be honest this drama was good thanks to lim ju hwan . Taecyeon was not so into his role and i couldnt feel the emotion towards his acting. The storyline was a bit predictable but somehow i kept on watching this drama because of lim ju hwan's role . His role was a success . All the scenes between tae pyung and joon young for me a bit plain .

Cha Apr 09 2020 11:23 am Finished this drama so wan to write some of my opinion on this drama. First, Lim Ju Hwan is Daebak!!!, Honestly i was about to give up watching this drama but lim ju hwan acting keep my interest toward this drama. I wish they could change the female lead ,its like her acting is mehh. The romance? Well better no romance at all for me. Yup , lim ju hwan just save my time.

anf Apr 06 2020 4:14 am after all these years taecyoen still cannot act his way out of a paper bag. the rest of the drama is decent.

Fajrina Mar 29 2020 1:19 pm This drama made my heartbeat so fast. I really appreciated with all off the cast. Although, the story line was so predictable. I could see the rapid progress of OK Taecyeon. Thumbs up for you. Keep up the good work. Can't wait ay longer to see him in new movie and drama...

Julia Oran Mar 27 2020 2:16 pm This drama is not even as bad as everyone in the comments is mentioning....

Kiznaiver713 Mar 23 2020 7:23 am I tried to watch this drama to the end but everything became too predictable and I lost interest.

Ron Mar 20 2020 8:11 pm Best acting Lim ju hwan. He should get an award for his role. He shd be cast aa a lead role. I have seen him in so many dramas but he was the best here..

Yogi Mar 17 2020 9:26 am Lim Ju-Hwan woah debak it will be flat w/ him. The logic was off. not about seeing death when we all know it's fiction drama, but like no security no cctv in Tae Pyeong big house until he can kill teacher baek in his house? no dna in 17 girl nails? no dna in pipe? the detective so stupid until they don't know about chamber secret in inspection Ko Do Kyung house, they had a chance to shoot ko do kyung -when the girl detective face to face with him & in the roof top in case he's not push the button- but i really really gave Lim Ju Hwan standing aplause for his natural acting and making the drama vibes and ambient more dark

jessica han Mar 16 2020 4:13 am This drama has so much potential but somehow it went plain. I don't understand why does in kdramas they love to show the stupidity of s. korea detectives. Thumbs up to lim jung hwan at least for his superb acting. The only reason why i keep watching this drama till the end is because i want to know how they deal with the bomb attacks and thats it.

Terrelyn Thomas Mar 11 2020 10:20 pm Ep.15 was a long snooze fest. Why did she do exactly what he told her not to do so now look where she is, that's just stupid.

Ron Mar 10 2020 2:25 pm Taec won looks dashing but a script lacks too much of thing. First if all lead actress detective has a loud mouth and goes on telling secrets. The girl cd hv been saved if taecwon has given photo on time. They wait until the last moment. Communication between detectives too slow and parents of that girl too dumb to leave her alone. Lead actress detective is too slow. I m Not going to spend more tome after ep 6 now..

Yuri Mar 09 2020 9:10 am Congratulations to Lim Ju-Hwan for his acting!

KoreaBOO Mar 05 2020 4:08 pm why do i feel bad for Goo Do-Kyung? yes he is a serial killer but who tore his life in shatters to begin with? they were the innocent ones. His father was innocent but they had to suffer scrutiny, pain both physical, mental and.spiritual. They were broken and battered just because they were the suspect's family??? the people harrasing them and the reporters making their life hellish and unbearable.

Black parade Mar 05 2020 2:43 am I just fast forward when I'm watching cause there's nothing new anyway, same repetitive script. Still got 3 episodes left, I want this to end soon.

jestine29 Mar 04 2020 11:12 pm honestly, i only watch this drama when there is nothing else for me to watch. I was very excited that this is Taecyon's come back drama BUT i dont know why it keeps disappointing me..and boring me. I hate that im complaining coz i really looked forward in watching this drama.

Law in Kdrama or Korea? Feb 28 2020 9:16 am Why in the world is there even a statute of limitations for crimes like serial killing of innocent young underaged girls?

Honestly, prison sentences in kdrama in general make little to no sense. 2/3 years for rape/pedophiles, 5/7 years for multiple murders, 13 years for small time thieves/embezzlement, life sentence for unproved/falsely accused crimes and death penalty for old women who killed lifetime abusers in self-defense.

Like. Actual. W.T.F. If this is even a slight representation of the real world, we need some serious reformations real fast.

indre Feb 27 2020 8:16 am eps 20 really good

joongang Feb 24 2020 8:07 pm This week episode is the definitely best episodes so far

Holi Feb 23 2020 6:12 pm Everyone needs to stop saying this drama is dragging. Good suspense builds up, there doesn’t need to be something big going on at every moment. Also it’s pretty clear as to why Do-Kyung hates our main boy. This kids watches his family be ruined by murders his dad apparently commits and then works hard as a kid to make sure he doesn’t become like his dad, only to be told by some kid that he’s gonna die basically as a criminal. His brain was warped by his hard childhood, trying to explain his actions is useless.

GreenLova Feb 23 2020 1:46 pm I just started watching it and stuck in episode 11-12. I kept thinking that I do not want to ended up in a hospital where a person lost consciousness and no doctor or nurses in sight to even try to perform CPR. ? so I gave the show up ??. I will wait until the last episode and watch only that. ??

Ellen Bay Feb 21 2020 2:07 pm Good show although it's frustrating... Typical Korean show... Why is it that when someone ask a question that's needed an answer, the camera focuses on the person who should answer , and he doesn't answer ?? Camera close up for 20 minutes still no answer !!! WTF !!! I usually just turn it off !! Maybe you guys should really think about this type of thrill cause it's not !! It just makes us angry !!! I guess that tells the difference between American tv and Korean tv huh??!! Very annoying... Good show but annoying show ....

Maple Feb 21 2020 5:03 am I know Koo Do-Kyung was a villain. However, I wish Koo Do-Kyung win in the end... The leads are annoying! Wasn't doing they job! The only things they do is to provoke KDK, rather than focus on the real crime. Hire KTP as a consultant, really speechless... Police in Korea really useless...

heynandho Feb 21 2020 3:23 am I wouldnt say the plot is dragging, i would say "slow". "Draggy" is where the plot is getting nowhere, but i learn something new every ep.

But of course, I was kind of dissapointed about how the story focused on. I though it would be "criminal" type of story where Tae Pyung helping the police solving different case, instead they focused on the "Drama" between the main lead. But its ok, i'll take it.

Do people really didnt know the reason why Hyun Woo hates Tae?? its simply jealousy, "If i cant have it, you cant have it too"

Also since they already arrest Hyun Woo without warrant before, they need to find evidence to arrest him again, which they're struggling at.

moymoy Feb 21 2020 2:24 am [warning!: MAJOR SPOILER for new watcher]

how many time you will drag this plot, dear writer-nim???? i love taec, but i will drop this drama. you choosed the wrong scrip, Taec... T.T

i just dont know, why Jo Hyun Woo a.k.a Goo Do Kyung hates Tae Pyung so much? is it because he told about how he will die? i dont see any other reason for it.

i was waiting for plot twist, but i think it will not come. or... the naration being read by Seo Joon Yeong in the end of 17-18th eps "i thought the one who throw the blood from the sink was Go Do Kyung, but it was did by Tae Pyung. The sad look of Tae Pyung, turned into anger", will be the twist plot??

Ivanka Feb 21 2020 12:40 am The plot Is dragging on too much and I’m tired of it. I love you Taec yeoni but I give up. Will watch your next drama oppa.

Minnie Feb 17 2020 1:54 am Drama was going smoothly before the jo pil doo debacle. If your dad was wrongly accused why would you forge evidence if your his son?... what?? Hang dong woo guy is very suspicious it might be a twist later on.

Black parade Feb 13 2020 10:55 pm Can anybody tell me why Ko Do-Kyung hates Kim Tae-Pyeong so much??

Lalalala Feb 13 2020 9:56 pm This drama is dragging too much....they know who the killer is already but they cant catch him....it’s getting stupid...would have been a good drama if the killer is actually going around killing people and Do Kyung help the main leads to catch him and free his dad...

Cilee Feb 13 2020 7:46 pm This drama makes me pity the villain and hate the non-villain (that reporter)

Please Don’t Be Incompetent Feb 13 2020 8:36 am So... they have all the information now. Are they seriously going to run around in circles for the rest of more than half of the drama left? Because quite honestly, they could very easily just wrap everything up... plenty of evidence for both serial killer and Mi Jin’s case.

Unless there’s like a real twist and some unknown factor revealed in the upcoming episodes... I’m afraid the second half of the drama will simply be occupied by (unrealistic) police incompetence and repetitive interactions.

Shine Feb 12 2020 5:48 pm Taepyung x Joonyoung's scene is really like moment of breathing in this fast-paced beautiful crafty plot-twisted drama.

This Shows Drain My Emotions Feb 10 2020 5:30 am What actually all the police detectives do ? The female also just running around suspecting things. No action whatsoever. The male lead secretly running around investigating and complicated things. This drama is unrealistic, they should a few moments first to believe the male lead, but they didn’t even suspect him. Yes, we viewer knew because he’s the male lead, but what if it just another mysterious character. The female lead are pathetic to just willing depend on male lead although she’s a police officer who got experience. And seriously, does the male lead just brush off the fact that he’s gonna be the cause of female lead and not even hesitant to work together ? 4 episodes, they only going around the same plot. They should add a filler case in between and not catch the villain too early.

And seriously tae pyung blames the chief for the sketch ? While he had the sketch all the time but decided to running around with it not showing to anyone like it’s not important. Yes, the chief should be blame, but it’s also goes to him. Not to mention he completely dismiss the real killer image in his head. Pfftt...

Fiza Feb 09 2020 5:19 am The thrill and curiosity didn't go away even after 2 days watching. Maybe because I'm not watch thriller much but also because how good this drama is. They even smartly insert viewers opinion in drama via media how netizen mocked the police (spoiler alert) because they let mijin died under police's surveillance, and how Taepyung blamed chief nam woo hyun for not letting him do criminal's sketch. Good stuff. So sad for mijin's oemma she in devastating state and emotionally unstable and didn't get support from her husband in that state. The blow up media about her child's death somehow triger her too to did that. Her husband should follow her around after that phone call, even when she still upset. TT Shout out to crime division team 1 fighting. It will so heartbreaking if taepyung's prediction really happen.

Jared Feb 07 2020 6:18 am The dramatic effect are too much though the plot are just so so. The detectives are the worst one among all the kdrama I watch. Why it takes them too long to connect all the dots. How about the real killer ? Did everyone just forget that since the one in prison revealed to not be the killer. What’s up with the detective team that have no function at all. The male lead ? Why must he acted alone and not just tell the detective everything. I’m so frustrated with this shows. Not to mention ep 9-10 basically a recap and the scene was always been played in each episode. I get it !! Move on. And for god’s sake the villain is Forensic doctor, does the detectives really expect him to leave the scene as a mess. 2 episodes since they catch the villain and there’s no development at all.

ABC Feb 07 2020 6:05 am The detectives shares every information to the villain, but when it came to catching him, everyone too shy to share information. This shows really drain me out. Pftt.

klover Feb 07 2020 2:45 am So why hasnt he drawn the murderers face yet? I am completely confused as to why he hasnt done it yet... It's almost unforgivable since they are investigating it... speechless

Davod Feb 06 2020 11:56 pm Koo Do-Kyung is more the victim than the villain. He's doing horrible things but considering what happened to him and everyone messing him up you should be angry at everyone else for being stupid. kinda felt good when Lee Joon-Hee was grieving. Karma.

zzz Feb 06 2020 11:44 pm If you think about it it's more realistic. Most kdramas would be about a son of a murderer who was falsely charged and that son would grow up to prove to society that his father was falsely charged. But this one is more realistic I would say considering his age. Father was falsely charged of murder and as a result the son would be shunned and influenced by society and police and due to the specific turns of events turned maniac after losing belief in the system.

zzz Feb 06 2020 11:36 pm Episode 9-10 was literally a half an hour recap.... that footage time... not sure whether that was worth that footage time...

deb Feb 06 2020 10:40 pm Lim ju hwan is evil..i know it he always plays the evil person lol

Nia K. Haryanto Feb 06 2020 7:50 pm I love this drama. Writer-nim, give us the happy ending, please.... :D

Lalalida Feb 06 2020 6:56 pm He should have draw a picture of the actual killer...

@Blunt Feb 06 2020 4:46 am I completely agree with your summary. The actors are really good though.

Abc Feb 06 2020 4:30 am Everyone’s kinda stupid in this drama. The police, the male lead, the villain, the victim. Everyoneee. Once I accepted that. I think I will able to watch this not to expect any typical brilliant plot.

Blunt Feb 04 2020 7:58 pm

SPOILERS*. The first 2 eps. of "The Game: Towards Zero" were really fantastic, and I respect all the actors, but now that I've watched eps. 3 & 4, it looks like the script is going down the drain. Characters that I thought intelligent are now showing the IQ of an earthworm. For example, the "prophet" sees the killer's face in a vision. The "elite" police knows this, and yet, never asks him to make a facial sketch. After 2 days or so, the "prophet" decides to make a sketch by himself, but puts it into an envelop and goes peacefully to sleep (even though a small girl is about to get killed!). Then, he follows the "elite" police around during half a day more, never bothering to show the envelop. The killer himself is not much brighter. He knows the "prophet" can see the clock on the table, but never has the idea of setting the clock to the wrong time, in order to mislead the police. All this is insult to the human mind.

juri Feb 03 2020 7:36 am From Seo Joon-Young's point of view, Koo Do-Kyung is not nobody. Even though they just meet, they been acquaintance for a quite time. He's work as National Forensic and been helping of her team's investigation. They sort of comrade, of course she thought they can share some of needed information. Even for Do-Kyung this was not the first time he heard the name of "Kim Tae-Pyeong", he heard it too from Soo-Hyun (KCSI team). Joon-young is so competent as detective, what are talking about?! Trusted by her team because of her ability. She's passion combine with smart, fast but with cool-headed decision, insightful analyzing with sense of justice, even more she has leadership with good personality. Fierce with criminal but considerate with the victim and their family. She's great detective.

Anna Feb 01 2020 11:45 pm I do like the drama and the plot but there's so many loopholes esp with Lee Yeon-Hee's detective character, being a cop she is disclosing too much information in front of the antagonist and they're just not being discreet about the cases at all, it's just not believable.

Iness Feb 01 2020 12:09 pm This is so great - really like it - great acting, great chemistry between all the actors..really engaging!

Bin Fulan Feb 01 2020 4:42 am Its great Its a great story But thereis a one big hole in the plot From where he got all the money He didn't work for any bussines corp or make any consultation From where his money comin?

Ferdie Jan 30 2020 11:32 pm Superb!!!!! I think the pathologist is the murderer, because he's way of burying his victims are similar of him as a pathologist. And maybe the reason why he cannot see the death of the girl because maybe the girl is the reason of taecyon's death in the scene where the death of taecyon where he is holding a necklace, where the necklace might be came from that girl. He's dad know the answer why he cannot see the girl's death and maybe also, the reason why he is blind right now. During the episodes 3-4, I was like, "Hurry hurry!!!!!" While furiously moving like a crazy person here hahahahahha. So much excited for this drama, MBC the best!!!!! Expecting more for the plot twist of this drama.

offtopic Jan 30 2020 9:30 am I think taecyon acting has improved so much.and chemistry btw him n lead female is good.storyline so far so good

Jjevoc Jan 30 2020 3:55 am Wow this is aamazing drama, so intense and interesting story, must watch

Vy Jan 29 2020 12:35 am I think The villain is the doctor.

Mimi Jan 27 2020 6:12 pm After watching the first episode, the morgue/autopsy guy probably also have future sight. He might be related to the main lead. The dad overused his eyes and that’s probably why he’s blind or he couldn’t take seeing deaths through people eyes and went crazy and did it to himself. That’s why he might not want the main lead to help the girl so it won’t happen to him. I also think you can’t change fate and if you do something worse will happen to the victim and probably involve more people.

futari Jan 27 2020 6:31 am Amazing camera work with amazing cast and detail story, also mood BGM that made you glue on screen. I felt like I was investigated along with them. Curios about development characters and plot. It was so nice in 2 hours episode I feel already connected to many of them, not just the main cast. This will be my go-on-ride weekly drama.

Sweemeys Jan 23 2020 11:56 pm Lay people more over pollice officers should know how to do CPR correctly. Before doing chest press, airway should be opened first, check for breathing and combined chest press with delivering rescue breath. Not like the detective has done in the movie.

Amor Jan 23 2020 1:25 pm Definitely a great drama to watch. Hooked by the acting, writing, and filming. Alot of suspense i was sitting at the edge of my seat at the final scene of the 2nd episode. I like the pace... not too slow u would get bored... not too fast that they miss details and not understand....it is just the perfect pace to enjoy the drama. Looking forward for next episodes.

oma Jan 22 2020 9:38 pm i thinkTaecyeon should wear contact lens (special/rare/unique color/design) cos they kept focusing to his eyes....

Sally Jan 22 2020 6:50 pm The first episode was really good. Fascinating plot. Looking forward to this drama.
