I started watching this drama with no expectations which is probably the reason why I managed to thoroughly enjoy it. The description wasn’t really detailed but another police drama, sure, I’ll give it a go.

And oh boy, did I get hooked.
Cha Soo Young is a character I had a love hate relationship with. You can see how genuine and determined she was but sometimes I thought to myself “how the heck did she manage to finish the police academy.” In the end, I ended up actually adoring her. (Bonus points for actually resembling a detective and not a runway model from a Police themed collection!)

Hwang Hwa Young is a character who didn’t manage to have her full story told and I am a bit disappointed, although I absolutely loved Jin Seo Yun’s acting and the portrayal of the character! I always appreciate a strong woman in a drama and she definitely delivered.

Oh Hyun Jae is just a whole rollercoaster ride, that’s all I am going to say. (Jang Hyuk’s acting was also amazing, God, it was so good.)

I liked the storyline, but I feel like the writers had too many ideas at once and instead of narrowing them down, they just rolled along with everything. I felt like a lot of backstories were only partially told, I wanted to know more about the Ji Min and Chief relationship, the relationship between Hwa Young and Yi Soo. The ending felt like it was rushed, as if they wanted to expand more but they ran out of tape or something.

Aside from that, I absolutely loved the chemistry and the subtle portrayals of friendship and closeness between character, especially Hwa Young and Detective Man Soo, and just Team 2 in general, but that’s just probably me. I also really enjoyed the weird relationship between Soo Young and Hyun Jae, especially in the last episode.

My advice to anyone wanting to watch it: start it with absolutely zero expectations and just go with it. A lot of people seem to have had high hopes and ended up disappointed but I found this drama to be pretty enjoyable and involving.
