In one word: disspaointed.
If you are wondering if to watch this show - the answer is that if you really don't have anything else to see right now and you like crime shows with investigation, sure. Would I highly recommend it? No.Most of the cast did an amazing job, and the story begins so promisingly, with great chemistry and tension between our hero and the villain.
I won't get into what happened as I want to keep this review spoiler free for anyone thinking of watching this show, but they focused on so many characters and minor story that really didn't add up to anything, a plot that in my opinion didn't have enought or any 'big revels' and really sloppy writing. They focus less on the actual invatigation and more on the characters (most of them annoying and have flat personality) that again, seemed to lead to nothing. The first couple of episodes were great and then everything seemed to go downhill. A shame really because the start of this show was so good and I was ready to love that show.
Maybe I'm too harsh. Maybe I came with high expections, compering this show on first glance to Mouse or Hannibal, two shows that I really like. But, as someone who sees a lot of k-drama and other crime shows from worldwide media, this was not a good enough show, in my opinion. I will rank it somewhere beneath middle. I gave it 6 because to be fair it's watchable and if don't you have anything better to watch than it will be fine to see it but honestly, if I wasn't watching it one episode a week I probaly would have dropped the show by now.

Great show, bad start
I was really close to dropping this show. Watched the first episode a while ago and found everything annoying and weird, and the start of the second episode didn't help either.But then in episode 3, the show turned into a new, interesting direction. I could finally understand what they were going for.
Overall, I enjoyed this show but I wish they were doing everything less "stereotyped" and exaggerated. As someone studying art for games right now and taking coding classes, I found it really annoying. The artist was a "free spirit" while the "nerd" was a computer geek, which they also made very robotic-like. I understand the idea behind it, but I wish they would have tuned it down a bit.
The after-credit scene was to live for. Wish they had a second season to expand that.

Mouse; two different shows combined together
So.... it's been a couple of weeks since I finished watching it. Still don't know what I think about it.That show is... it should have been a couple of seasons. I think, honestly, that is the reason a lot of people who watched this show feel like it's a mess. It's because the first half of the show felt like a completely different show from the other half. Honestly, the first half was ok. Not bad, but not good enough for 8.8 rating.
Then the second half came and everything changed. I don't remember a lot of shows that the second half was actually far better than the first. Usually it's the other way around. It almost felt like the writer got bored with his own story and decided to change it completely.
The second half was great. I needed this. The problem was that everything was rushed; they did not explore enough things. It was like they finally understood how to make this show great, but didn't have enough episodes to do it because they wasted it in the first half.
I cried at the end of it, and I'm not a person that usually does it. This is why I find it so hard to love this show - it brought so many emotions in me but only from a certain point. All in all - I think you should watch this show.

Honestly, I am not sure what I've just seen
Before watching the show, I thought I was getting into a slow-burn love romance.I was both wrong and right.
What can I say about this show? Let's start with the negative.
-the effect of the change in the eyes around the person was too much neon kitty for me and it distracted the viewer from the very decent effect they have done on the eyes themselves.
-there wasn't really any character development from the characters. I am still not sure what is the deal with both of them.
Positive:
-The actors were ok. They've done their best with this weird plot and characters.
-Decent production.
I am honestly not sure what I think about it. The main thing, aside from the lack of character development was the weird plot they've gone through. Up until episode, 7 things were nice-romantic BL, and all at once, it became a suicide-murder-tv show. I know they have shown how hard it was to resist the colors but I wish they have shown more than half an episode on the main character. He was turning mad at the colour too fast for my taste. It felt like it had so much wasted potential.
However, at the same time, I finished the whole show in one evening. I don't how to explain it. The show really wasn't good yet so addictive.

What perfection looks like
I am a series addict. Seriously, you don't know how many shows I have watched in my life. So, believe me when I say this show is perfect.Bromance. Revenge. Drama. Family.
I felt like I was watching my favorite show, Hannibal, all over again.
Great acting, and a storyline that keeps you on your toes but not to a point where it's getting ridiculous like in many other shows.
If you are tired of the same old legal drama and want something refreshing, this show is for you!
Highly recommended.
