I liked it despite what you are going to read below
The first part of the first episode got me, what the hell is happening to those children? The sensation Is quickly pushed aside by the unrealistic depiction of the investigator's works.
The main investigator, Ryu Sung Joon, falls inside the archetype of the eccentric genius detective, the problem is that detective is just an eccentric moron with anger issues. Usually, those kinds of tropes make sense in a way because genius detectives are forgiven for their eccentricities in the hope their genius deductions skill will help the investigation. The real question is how that guy was able to become a police officer in the first place.
The other investigators are sloppy and the investigation is so slow.
The screen direction was poor, getting stabbed and then falling in the direction of the stab wound. Weird changes in scenes, contrasted with the seldom genius camera play, so I really didn't understand.
I often felt like the show was written by someone who did not research the field of investigation, medical and psychology much despite the story revolving around those 3 spheres. The misdirections are awfully written as well as the plot twists, so much so that it removes the realism those kinds of stories are supposed to have. Another effect of weak writing in mystery shows is that you come to think of the clues as may be part of the bad writing, sometimes clues were overlooked by the investigators.
There are also inconsistencies in the writing, making established facts malleable later in the story to create another, not needed, plot twist in the last few episodes, a plot twist already obvious by the 6th episode. (obvious only if you trust that the clue in the 6th episode is not a part of the sloppy writing)
Pro : I was genuinely intrigued about the kids and their implications in the story. The little they give at the beginning is interesting. I did take time every week to watch it, so they did something right.
Despite some of the episodes feeling like they dragged the story, at least they did not rush the ending of the story.
In conclusion, if you are the type of person who watched thriller shows without really thinking about it, you might be surprised by the story plot twists.
In contrast, if you are a little bit interested in mysteries, this show won’t surprise you at all.
