easy-going 60s era crime drama

I love the vibes of the 60s era. I have to say they did a great job. I like that each episode represents different case and I love the way they solved the cases. I like that it is inspired by Korean history and how difficult it actually was to catch bad guys.

I am amazed by the first half of the drama as it has really funny moments and the dream team was build. To be honest for the the second half was loosing its charm. Also it is upsetting to see that no one cares about normal people except the unit 1 and the corruption is on different level. I guess nowadays it is the same but they cover it much better.

The drama is easy to follow as the cases are not that difficult to follow so it does not need your full attention.

nice concept of the storyline but not executed very well

Despite the rating the comments are very positive so I gave it a try. To be honest at episode 7 I was loosing interest and I wanted to drop the drama but it only has a 10 episodes so I finished watching it.

The concept of the story is good but it was not executed very well. Unfortunately nothing about this drama stands out for me. Also I don't like the open ending, specially if there is no sertency that there will be another season.

The acting is okay as their performance is average and I did not build any sympathy or feelings towards the characters.

I really liked the edvanced technology they showed but it is a shame the drama is lacking in so many ways.

You will love the journey with uncle Samsik!

It is very easy to watch and follow the events even if you are not familier with the Korean history. It is story how the politics really works to gain money and power.
The acting is great and I love the relationship that uncle Samsik had with San. Samsik is real genius who's always come up with the plan and it is fun to watch as he is always ahead of everyone. I was so surprised that in the end he is betrayed and oversmarten by someone you would not expect at all. Till the last minute I was hoping he has other plan to get out of the situation. The ending was very emotional. I guess it ended as it should as in the end the money and power always win. It would be great to see Kim San to take a revenge....

To be honest I don't understand why the rating is so low and the drama is not very well known.

Real drama of 90s - Chang Wook amazing transformation

I think it is the most realistic drama I had seen. The production is great and the atmosphere of the 90s is so real. I love both ML leads. They have done great job.

I love the development of Seung Ho and his fenomenal transformation from cop to thug as he really became one. And build thrue friendship with Ki Chul. Also Hae Ryeon character was great and she was the main character to comparation to Eui Jung as her character/acting did not left any expression on me.

Despite it has sad ending, I have to say it is great ending. Everyone gets what they deserve. Specially the fat cop as he was the most enoying character ever. I felt quite bad for Chul as he put his trust to wrong people and because of that he lost everything and everyone betrayed him. I could see the pain in his eyes as he confronts them and he had nothing to live for anymore.

I wish they could walk together through the streets of Gangnam forever. That last seen made me quite emotional.

Great drama for the first half after that it is disappointing.

It could have been so good if they carry on with the story as in the first half of the drama. The first 6 epidosed are great. It keeps you engaged and you don't know what is gonna happen next between the taxi driver and the culprit.
But once the culprit went to China the storyline went downhill. I wish they would finish the drama around 6/7 episodes. It is a real shame as they did not use all the potential and it could be a great drama. The story keeps you engaged through the whole drama but I was loosing interest towards the end. I will not even talk about the imcopentece of the detectives...The villan character was perfect as probably the olny character in the drama. To my surprise a didn't even care how it is gonna end.

Overall it is a good drama but could have been great if the focused more on the storyline.

Good drama - was expecting much more

To be honest I was expecting much more from this drama after I read so many great reviews. The first half was great but the second half started dragging the story and it wasn’t so interesting and I had to push myself to finish it. It is real shame as the story was great but not executed very well. After finishing the last episode I didn’t feel any joy or sadness as it haven’t leave any impact on me as other great drama did.

The acting of the main lead Ha Kyun was great he’s really good actor. He has done outstanding performance.

You cannot compare this drama to a masterpiece Mouse or Flowers of evil.

Great drama—that is the way to beat corruption

The drama has a great storyline, and I like how they introduce new cases every two episodes, and it all leads to the closure of the main plot. It is nice to see how the team comes together and works to beat the corruption. I love the way Ha Kyun portrays his character; it is perfect.

I love the interaction between Sin Cha and Dae Ugn, and I wish we could see more of it.
It was fun to watch, and I was hooked from the first episode.

The acting was great, especially Ha Kyun, as he carried the show.

The drama reminds me a little bit of Hot Stove League, which I absolutely love.

Let's hope for another season.

The acting is fenomenal but not fully developed drama.

I was so looking towards the Tyrant as Seon Ho is one of my favorite actors. I think it would be better if they stick to the plan and made a movie as it is too sort for a drama and it did not fully developed the storyline. To be honest if they made a proper long drama it would be amazing as it has interesting storyline and the cast is on fire.

The acting is just fenomenal!

It is shame that they did not take a time and properly edited the screens as it could be great movie.

Also I don't really see the point to add English to the drama.
For me it is waisted potential.

Fast paced drama full of action and intrigues.

It's a fast-paced historical drama based on real events. It all happens in 24 hours, so there is a lot of action, plotting, and tactics. It's interesting to see how the events are going to turn out as life beside palace walls is a matter of life or death. I like that the queen is a great tactician and thinks a few steps ahead.
I did not mind the sexual scenes as they fit well in the drama. They could make more episodes to fully develop the characters. The acting was great, except for Jong Seon, as she does not fit in the drama. I can't help but feel her expression is just ruining the experience for me. Chang Woo and Soo Hyuk did a great job portraying the king and the crazy prince.

Apart from that, I really enjoyed the drama. It was a great watch, but I don't like that it ended at the best part. And I am not sure if we are getting a season 2.

it is a nice story that could have been beautiful

It's sooo good, I fell for them after the second episode. I love how they try to protect each other, especially from the abusive father. And it's nice to see Do Hoe smile when he is with Yu Young, as his life was so hard and he had to endure a lot.
I wish that the drama had stuck to the story in their teenage years, as the 10-year later jump is not that interesting and it doesn't have the same charm. It's a real shame, as the first two episodes were perfect.
In the end, I understand why Do Hoe behaved terribly, and we got a lively last episode, but it does not compensate for the middle part.
Overall, it's a nice story that could have been beautiful.

love horors/thrillers but could not get through this one.

From the beginning, it was hard for me to stay focused, as the drama did not impress me. This was surprising to me, as I usually enjoy thrillers and horrors. I'm not sure if it was the way it was filmed. I tried several times to watch another episode, but by episode 7, I gave up and dropped the drama. I had been really looking forward to it, as it had a high rating and great reviews.

The story was good, but the execution fell flat for me. The production could have been better, and I didn't connect with the main characters. The female lead was particularly annoying, and the way the three of them interacted was just strange. The only positive was Dong Woo; I really liked his character.

Nice and easy watch...no stress!

What a nice surprise! I got hooked from the first episodes and was rooting for Yi Heon as he tried his best to put things right. It was refreshing to see someone teaching others the right way of life, and he was spreading his wisdom. I loved his friendship with Se Kyung and the positive influence he had on him. It is nice to have a friend you can rely on and who wants only the best for you. I liked the storyline, and the ending was satisfying for me as everyone was punished (that does not happen very often), and he could fulfill his dream of becoming a student.

It was a really nice easy watch, especially as it was refreshing to see the story in reverse, as we saw the worst happen at the beginning and after that things got better and better. No stress.
