Theresa M @RT11245684 Jun 9, 2026 Great dark comedy with noir thriller vibes. Outstanding performance from Lee Young Ae and Kim Hae Sook. Would be great to have another season. See more Apr 8, 2022 A gem. Not for everyone, but if you like the well made unusual story with a smart and witty script, great cast and a fabulous soundtrack this is well worth the time. Really well put together with great characters, odd, but wonderfully human. A plot with lovely curves, as twists would be too obvious. Cannot wait for season 2, as just enough loose ends left at the end of season 1 for a new story, but the continued development of the characters' story. Stylish, funny and a delight. See more carlos t @RT67858720 Mar 10, 2022 Minha opinião: Esta série #Coreana fala de uma ex-policial neurótica, fora da caixa, depressiva e que é viciada em jogos on line e de bebida. E que é contratada para pegar uma serial killer. Que é uma jovem Kim, que é extremamente meticulosa e calculista, que quando dentro de sua visão e pensamento a pessoa é ruim e merece morrer. E toda estória corre ao redor disso. 12 capitulos não era necessário para esta série. Com 8 serie o suficiente. Pois ai começa a embromação. Tanto Lee e a Kim trabalham bem nesta série, e todos os outros trabalham bem. A estória tem várias reviravolta. Roteiro: poderia ser melhor. Vale apena assistir? Sim, se você não tiver uma outra série que queira ver. Nota: 6,5 See more Dec 19, 2021 Really enjoyed it, its so charming and witty, the actors are extremely good and its shot really well with some animation scenes added in, I'm glad i gave it a chance after having barely any info on it because i was on the edge of my seat watching it and laughed quite a few times.
