Comments

Michelle Dec 19 2025 8:17 am One of the best comedy drama that I've ever watched (♥ω♥*) The chemistry between the main casts is amazing and the comedy is brilliant, makes me laughing so hard. If there's season 2 , i will watch it again for sure (♡´▽`♡)

Cheryl May 10 2025 8:10 am I really loved this drama. I first saw people commenting about it on Tiktok and so I thought I would give it a try, as a lot of viewers thought it was funny. The first episode I was not too convinced but I never judge a drama on the first episode alone. By the second and third episode I was laughing out loud and was falling in love with the cast. It's not all fun and funny and there are some poignant moments, which I think adds some depth to the comedic element of the script. The cast did an amazing job and the team felt like a family, which is always something I love in a police drama. If you are looking for something light and fun, this one might do it for you!

seun May 02 2025 10:16 am cant finished this drama in one seat, i watched it halfway and continue the remaining after few months.

probably cause it has a looong story telling. i was ok with the sense of humour but i think to solve a case, its unnecessary to take 2 episodes to tell / show the story, especially when the culprit-caught scene was like easy and direct one. it ended up dragging.

the last 3 episodes i think, started when Detective Jung got stabbed then i think this drama has finally showed interesting plot and scene.

anyway, overall ok, can still be recommendable for a relax drama to watch with family.

San Apr 10 2025 4:00 am My bad was thinking that everyone has the same sense of humor. This is a very good drama in my opinion, I enjoy every single episode, those who say some of the comedy is not necessary, but that's what makes me really enjoy the humor. And also the cases that are presented is very well.

But I think there is something that needs to be considered again in the pacing of this drama, I guess it would be better if the case that is solved is only 1 case per 1 episode. This drama could be only shown 16 episodes instead of making it 20 episodes. That might be a problem for some people who can't enjoy this drama because it's too slow and long in for resolving every case.

But overall, this is very good comedy crime mystery for me

Arasuka Mar 02 2025 2:41 am Recently I don't like long episodes drama but watching this drama I didn't get bored. I like dong gu character. And the plot is interesting for me.

Amie Jan 13 2025 9:52 pm What are the chocolates he eats. I want to.buy some but can't find it anywhere. Love the show! Hilarious!

Amanda Dec 28 2024 2:14 pm 1-4 eps stressed me enough bc the cops were too miserable to be true and the jokes were not that funny, then it gets more funnier actually you guys just need to keep watching! Eps 14 can't stop laughing ??????

helena Dec 17 2024 4:51 pm enjoyed the drama, so heartwarming. felt good to watch it.. waiting for 2nd season

fbrn Dec 14 2024 12:46 pm I really hope this drama will have season 2 with same team!!??? Love the plot twist, love the ending with all name of the characters, love everything in this dramaaaaaa..... I will waiting for season 2♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

KDW FAN Dec 14 2024 10:24 am This is a sitcom. This is a chaotic comedy. No need to take anything tol seriously here. I really enjoy the series,l??❤️❤️

Cess11 Dec 05 2024 1:22 am I laughed so hard while watching this drama. They're highlighting each character in every episode. Love it!!

V Nov 17 2024 2:13 pm I like Dong-go character. Season 2 please!

Lauren Nov 15 2024 7:40 am Kim dong wook should do more comedic series from now onwards. It's nice to see a different side of him. There was this one scene when he was mixing his bowl of jajjangmyeon, his expresions was so hilarious.

Kae Nov 15 2024 2:29 am These series have potential for a S2 but unlikely to get one. The drama feel so short despite having 20 episodes. That is how good it was. Love the plot twist jeng jeng jeng.

Aberon Nov 06 2024 1:10 am I love this comedy crime story and fell in love with all the main characters in this series and hope there will be a second season.

Jojo Nov 05 2024 5:07 am I nearly pulled all my hair out by the end of Ep 1 - this comedy was not funny at all... the young boy in the team, Jang was a pain in the butt, and it became more painful to watch by episode 2... the only reason I stomached episode 3 because I wanted to find out who the killer was... nope! I couldn't stomach another 17 episodes, this comedy series is a real turn-off. The actors are fine, the story and comedy sucks.

Jeni Nov 04 2024 1:49 pm I just can't stop laughing with this drama and I hope there seasons 2 with comedy like that.

Siksakso Nov 04 2024 4:31 am Okay, I finished this drama yesterday. After the episodes went by, the humor in well places, but sometimes kim dong wook randomly give cheeky smile with no reason like ??? In this drama, he's like serious character, giving weird smile is not it ?

Also the plot twist, I can't say it's plot twist. Yeah yeah the killer wes... But he's not really involved to the story. On shows up few times and boom "yeah I'm the killer"

Annoyed Nov 02 2024 9:05 am I find it so strange with those that comment about the crime or mystery being subpar or character development being unnecessary... It's a comedy First and everything else second. The comedy is Insanely funny and I feel sad for those of you who cannot appreciate it. The chemistry of the cast is really good!! Best stress reliever drama of the year!

Siksakso Nov 02 2024 7:58 am Watched 1 eps and already thinking the comedy was unnecessary. The placement is not smooth and not funny at all. I know this drama is more like Comedy Crime rather than Crime Comedy, but still.

If there's season 2 of this drama, I hope the comedy is funnier and put smoother than this

Darey Nov 02 2024 4:11 am disney+ korea wants to create something new. often creating crime stories and adding comedy to them. like watching a sitcom. actually, the comedy here is funny, but there are also lots of silly and strange scenes that deviate from the topic.

and I think a lot of things are unnecessary. for example, the background story of each member is too detailed. I feel like there's no point because it's quickly forgotten. every minute of this drama there are always ridiculous scenes, such as prohibitions on normal scenes. but that didn't make me laugh.

the cast is very good, specifically the chemistry. the concept of this drama is very similar to 'Dogs Know Everything' which also aired at the same time.

kdramagurl Nov 02 2024 3:28 am Love this!! Very light and a good stress reliever!

LovingKdrama Oct 31 2024 10:42 pm I have a lot to say positively about this drama, but I'll try to be brief as much as possible. First off, most viewers say this drama is a comedy and had made them laugh most of the time. But actually, in my opinion, this drama has a lot more meaningful scenes rather than the comedic ones. I lost count on how many times I've been touched by every story either from the case or the characters backstories. The comedy aspects of this drama is good, but their meaningful and serious aspects actually far exceed my expectations. I love it, shout out to writernim! The plot in this drama is actually complex and every arc in this drama bring a weightful meaningful messages about life to the table.

Ok Annkyu Oct 30 2024 2:51 pm thank you for this masterpiece!

AnxiousPom Oct 25 2024 4:49 am The comedy is fine but in terms of mystery it really lacks details. This definitely feels like the writer create the comedy aspect first then the mystery, 6/10 so far

Haein Oct 19 2024 12:23 pm @Reggie kary Why ? ??? I had high hopes for them plus captain yubin is 7 yrs older (I'm not used to age gapes like that ?)

Aren Oct 19 2024 7:56 am Loving this shows so much!!all the actors are top notch and the comedy never fails,. Don't want it to end!!please make,season 2!!!

Hoosierr Oct 17 2024 4:52 am Our team of detectives and their shenanigans are very cute. Show has a nostalgic feeling to it as if it's one of those investigation show we enjoyed every week for years. I thought it had 12 episodes then i found out not only it has 20 episodes but also this show will have a serial killer plot too. When will they stop relying on these serial killer side stories in most random shows? Why would a crime comedy like this one or regular rom-coms need any of that?

NFS Oct 14 2024 12:08 pm please make it longer or at least season 2 .. everything is just out of the box and it's never boring episode

Reggie Kray Oct 14 2024 9:27 am @Loona Yeah, it's still airin' mate. new episodes drop every wednesday on Disney+. They’re goin up to 20 episodes, I reckon

Loona Oct 13 2024 5:27 pm Is this drama still going on air? I watched it till ep 12 tho. If yes, in what day?

Reggie Kray Oct 12 2024 8:12 pm @Haein Nah, no chance, mate. Detective Seo should’ve ended up with Captain Yubin

Haein Oct 12 2024 5:58 am Guys I just finished ep 12 and I think prof sim and det. Seo should be together in the rest of the eps

Tam Oct 11 2024 7:07 am OMG! This has become my Favorite de-stressing series!!! I love it so much, laughing so hard! I hope it will have more seasons please. So worth it to wait every week.

Minh Oct 09 2024 3:27 pm Finished episode 12, never laugh so much in a long period of time. These 2 last episode brings humour, bring kindness and curiosity, which is a very good ending. Looking forward to upcoming episodes. Just want to say watching this film is so healing

Hi Oct 08 2024 7:51 pm Love love love love this drama so much. Love the characters, the plot, the cinematography, everything is so perfect. Such happy healing drama to watch. Love It.

Jojoanna Oct 03 2024 11:08 am Just curious on this... Since moving into their temporary office at the Day Care Centre, Jung Jung-Hwan has been taking all the different dinosaur from the centre and bring home gifts his daughters. Isn't that considered "stealing"? If yes...does Jung Jung-Hwan qualify to catch killers, murderers, perpetrator? Kinda bothers me each time i see him pop up on screen...

hello Oct 03 2024 9:52 am this show is hilariously good! Must Watch Lol

Park Sewan Fan Sukawati Oct 02 2024 9:57 pm This team is absolutely hilarious and have bunch of 'easter eggs'! I saw Yonhee University from episode 7 that reminds me of other SBS kdrama, especially Cheer Up. I heard 167 cm from one of inspector at Songwon Police Dept, a reference of Park Se-wan's height. I saw Indonesian-built Hyundai Stargazer X drove by Jang Tansik, which I presumed that it will be introduced into Korean market soon or later. And more. My favourite character is Seo Minseo. She is fearless and diligent among all 5 characters in Seoul Busters. Thus, I'm a big fan of Park Sewan since 6/45 and most of people called her as "North Korean IU" thanks to her role in 6/45.

Bin Oct 02 2024 2:15 pm Anyone know the moon hyerin instagram? The friend's daughter one shot chiken owner. Thanks

Buster Sep 26 2024 1:14 am Was the dance contest a poke at Park Se Wan's Just Dance character?

Sint Sint Sep 22 2024 8:40 am Such a happy and nice drama to watch

Shini Sep 20 2024 2:08 pm Who plays the secretary in ep.3 she kind of looks like honey lee

Gimbiya Sep 14 2024 5:23 pm This is such a fun and funny series. I love the characters and the comedy. Very fun to watch

Zaga Sep 11 2024 9:13 pm So far so good, all the characters are funny ^^^

Jungwonie Sep 11 2024 11:12 am Finally a drama that makes me laugh the whole episodes so far LOL give me vibes The Fiery Priest

Ryunami May 17 2024 3:48 pm The first drama after Kim Dong wook saying goodbye to bachelorhood and married his girlfriend.

Vera Apr 03 2024 5:52 am Wow!! It's seems like good! Thanks!!
