Comments

Bea Jan 25 2026 11:59 pm I personally love this. As someone who enjoys mystery/action genre, i find this a hidden gem. This series started off good and i hope it will keep the momentum till the end.

If you are looking into a series that share the same vibe as Family matters, Mercy for None, Karma, and SLine, then you will absolutely find this exciting. Even the soundtrack used here sounds quirky and cool. I swear short dramas are starting to interest me, the whole cinematography looks like a movie, its usually fast pace, and the storyline isn't boring.

KST Nov 26 2025 3:40 am What an amazing drama. I finished watching it the day before yesterday. Lee young ae and Kim young kwang has a great performance here.

Vivian Oct 30 2025 10:23 pm Part 2 please

Hmm101 Oct 30 2025 12:02 pm Watch episode 1-12, and my opinion is Lee Young-Ae, wasn’t fit for this drama. I love her especially in Inspector Koo l, one of my favorite actress, loved it till ep 9-12.. it kept getting silly and more silly.. like come on., ep 12 when she tried to stab the villain with a gun pointed her at her, at least make the story or acting more believable and also everyone was at the warehouse bit ML gets to save FL before cops gets there.. everything was just bad even the acting part, I think the writers and directors could’ve done better. 5/10.

Tammy Oct 27 2025 3:16 pm I feel sad for Eunsoo husband. Since episode 1 through end.. he has cancer.. then every scene he is always sad, hurt , injured and eventually killed. Huhuhu.

sf Oct 27 2025 4:07 am To me, it seems that the writer kept the door open for season 2.

marie Oct 26 2025 6:11 pm Need more episodes! Wish it was onNetflix, both leads are so good… well everyone, but the ending

Sophia Oct 26 2025 1:37 pm Horibble ending. I'm very dissappointed. Seems like they ran put of ideas for the show. I feel like I've lost 12 hours of my life.

Maguinyc Oct 26 2025 10:06 am Strangely episodes 11 and 12 are not out when they should have been on sat/sunday. Anybody else has that problem?

Erra Oct 26 2025 1:33 am One of great dramas in 2025. The story is giood, the chemistry is great, the plot is smooth. But why doesn't it get a lot of attentions? Why is it underrated? I binge watch it during my weekend. Still waiting for the last two episodes. Hope the ending is satisfying.

sf Oct 25 2025 4:40 pm One of the most exciting dramas I saw this year. I'm curious to know how it will end tomorrow.

Meowster Oct 23 2025 7:50 pm I'm only on episode 4 so I don't know how it will change going further but kang eun soo really gets on my nerves.

Tammy Oct 21 2025 6:32 pm Just tried to binge watch this without any expectations... now Im so hooked. Can't Wait For The Last 2 Episodes!

country bumpkin Oct 20 2025 1:28 am golly, the casting, they are not playing.

Jillibean Oct 14 2025 1:18 am Great cast and intriguing story. Love seeing Bae Soo Bin again. He's such a great actor.

Gia Oct 12 2025 8:13 pm Anyone know what's happening with English subs for episode 7 on Kocowa? They're not working for me.

naya Oct 05 2025 9:31 am the storyline kinda all over the place with such many characters and conflict so i'm really excited how they'll wrap all these into one end.

LAAR Oct 04 2025 3:41 am ep 1 is boring with the running and catching and the police seemed stupid not to be able to catch the culprit..but i will continue watching this because its Kim Young Kwan!

Nina Sep 29 2025 9:21 am Just watched up to 2 episodes. I didn’t expect it to be this exciting. It truly lives up to the expectations with such great actors.

Han Sep 26 2025 7:00 am Ep 1 and the police are a bunch of idiots. Not sure if I will continue to watch it

Chey Sep 22 2025 7:26 am @Kharma you may watch it on Viki

Seraphim Sep 21 2025 2:43 pm 2 promising episodes..

sf Sep 21 2025 2:27 pm It just started the drama, but the female lead character is already walking on my nerves. She acts so stupidly that she seems to tell everybody that she is wrong.

Kharma Sep 21 2025 10:26 am Wer to watch this series?

CM Sep 20 2025 11:01 am Excited!!!

Jillibean Aug 23 2025 1:32 am Great cast. I will definitely be checking it out.
