Great detective story with lots of eye candy

I admit, this is one of the productions with the most good-looking cast I’ve ever seen. Even the supporting actors/actresses were pure eye-candy (which is pretty much the premise of the story). But this is also a great detective story. Even if I guessed “the villain” and his identity almost right away, the storyline and unraveling of the case(s) was interesting. The twists and turns were nicely executed and kept me a bit confused as to exactly why and how - that’s always a sign of a good story. And even the romance between the main leads was nice to watch with a natural flow to it.
Character wise, I liked that this FL was smart but not overly smart and her martial arts was really good but she wasn’t invincible nor was she fearless. A character that wasn't one-dimensional. I found ML to suit the job, since he had to be highly intelligent, calm and fearless. He had a strong presence.
Acting wise this was great and the chemistry between the main leads was good, not sizzling but suitable for their respective characters.
So, if you like an intriguing and romantic detective-story, this is definitely well worth watching.

This drama is pretty interesting despite the low production value. Not so much cringey acting and the characters behave like most people would. Despite the very short episodes and rushed storytelling, I lacked the patience to not fast forward in the last few episodes, but that's because I'm here mostly for the romance.
The ML is just weirdly obsessed with taking responsibility after having a one night stand with the FL, while she is hilariously trying hard to tell him 'no thanks, I'm good'. He's very good looking though, his physique and the eye make up does help with his character, he should have been No. 1 on the Handsome Men list. The FL is sensible and loves her career as a thief. All in all, this would be a good drama to binge on a weekend day.

As such nothing MIRACULOUS of the sorts

Now that I have seen enough eerie in the drama this one felt little subtle to me .. but who are green to this genre might find it very refreshing. The story had balanced amounts of blood shed romance action horror suspence but still couldn't convince me enough as a viewer. Reason why ?
1. Start was amazing but gradually story lost it's pace .. only two cases in the beginning were interesting ( brothel case and plastic prince case) later ones were not.
2. Story continuation was sort of abrupt , the dots of events were not connected properly making it a little confusing.
3. Main villain was lame ..I mean he was giving that villian vibe from the beginning but for all the buildup to his character as a villain final face off was too FLAT.
4. parallel couple was so unnecessary, I still can't understand their chemistry. I would rather have this male actor for the role of fourth most handsome men and portray the love rival for the main ML. (Casting him as a lame lover boy was such a waste)


It's not that the drama is totally un-watchable try watching few episodes and stick as long as you find it interesting.
