I laughed so hard I got a headache
When I saw the synopsis of this drama last year I was convinced that I wouldn't ever watch it, but thankfully the creators and actors had different view and found something in this absurd idea that I couldn't at first. Thanks to them I am now able to appreciate this perfection of a drama with their flawless execution and humor!
Comedy elements seemed so fresh and unexpected to me, I was surprised so many times that I couldn't predict anything anymore, which is always a huge plus in my eyes! I want to take a moment to appreciate the glowing lipstick, going home by a bus stuck in a window frame, the great hair loss (how many legs our poor Gwang Sik had to touch to get such a bald spot? :')), a cute side story of Ye Bun's aunt and Jong Muk with My Liberation Notes references, Ok Hee introduction and her friends with Eonni guy always being on her command, some relatable embarassments of our characters, Mi Ran tragically developed spying abilities and many more.
There was a great balance between comedy and mystery. I liked that before the main serial murders case we had a few smaller ones which were a nice and hilarious introduction.
The plot moved dynamically from light to heavy and the characters were used very cleverly to achieve this. I especially liked the moments of Jang Yeol's cooperation with Ye Bun and Gwang Sik, who along with a few other characters added a lot of uniqueness and originality to the series. A diversity of characters and their potential motives for the crime made it impossible to quickly guess the killer, especially after so many unexpected situations at the beginning. The creators were able to skillfully deceive the viewers (or at least me) until the end.
Lee Min Ki was perfect as always.
But most importantly, I had so much fun watching it that any flaw doesn't matter to me!
