SpinalTap Apr 29 2025 4:27 pm This was great!

First two episode was kinda dull but after second episode it gets great on each episode. I really liked it.

wnnny Mar 17 2025 11:23 pm The drama Parole Examiner Lee has an intriguing story line, good actors and actresses. The story line progresses smoothly from inception to end of the story. So far the drama is the best I have watched since January 2025.

Aviyen Jan 22 2025 1:11 am Such a good drama. Ms. Baek Ji-won stole the show for me. Her character was Thee Best!!!!!!

Parolee Dec 30 2024 1:01 pm They’re right. First 2 eps are a bit slow but as the story progresses you find that you won’t be able to stop. Recommend for a 2 days 1 night all nighter binge watch. Perfect way to spend the holidays. Vicariously fighting evil through the drama leads while eating chicken and beer.

aL Dec 25 2024 7:16 am this drama is so good, watching for Yuri, but staying for the plot. So freaking good

sominterain Dec 24 2024 4:43 pm The best show made my Mon-Tues everything was great and the ending was the best

Nimi Dec 22 2024 8:29 am This is my best weekly drama…love it so much especially the megalomaniac ost Lmaoooo

winter Dec 02 2024 7:39 pm The show is great from ep. 2 and as the team forms the story got much better. These types of dramas build they don't just try to grab attention at the start.

I feel dramas that start high end up disappointing in the end. This is give just the right amount. People nowadays are impatient with dramas and end up missing out on good shows.

Darey Nov 23 2024 4:36 am (in my opinion) eps 1 & 2 are a bit boring, took a long time to watch. like not really interested in watching the next scene. I imagined this drama would be like jtbc's "The Good Detective", but it wasn't. they should have interesting characters and use more cast members.

I watch for Lee Hakjoo, and yes, he always gets a little screentime. (_ _) I'm going to stop watching for now and will probably come back to it after the drama ends.

Kdramafan00 Oct 01 2024 11:53 am Yes finally a date. It's been long since I watched a drama with Go Soo but I have watched Yuri's dramas and she has grown into a great actress. She is for sure a natural actor when it comes to her facial expression in different emotions. I'm look forward to this pairing.

Blooms Sep 10 2024 3:33 am can't wait for the next show (⁠´⁠∩⁠｡⁠•⁠ ⁠ᵕ⁠ ⁠•⁠｡⁠∩⁠`⁠)

Snow Aug 27 2024 1:28 pm October's hit drama

Merry Aug 06 2024 3:14 pm I'm watching the Missing the other side 2, There's a part of it that I cannot continue to watch. It was because the "daughter" Jun ho appeared and the mother of Bo Ra ? I'm sad. I really love watching it. But suddenly I feel sad. I cannot finish it. Sorry

Ah ra May 12 2024 2:03 pm @Anony08 sorry I was wrong Lee hak joo and Baek ji won are main role too

Ah ra May 12 2024 1:50 pm @anony08 still? Who says she's not anymore? just tell me She is the first and only casted female actress for the main role Alongside Go soo and for suportting roles Lee hak joo and Baek ji won

Anony08 May 11 2024 7:14 am @Ah ra wait really? Is she still in this drama?

Ah ra Apr 16 2024 3:01 am Where is kwon yuri she is the fl
