Predictable but entertaining
I sincerely enjoyed this drama. As usual, I only really picked it up because I saw a funny clip from it and impulsively decided that I needed to watch it.
The drama is well balanced in tones - it maintains humor, mild mystery/thriller, and romance very well. At no point did it become too dark or too sad without some comic or romantic reprieve.
There *is* a small love triangle and Soo Chang *does* get kind of petty out of jealousy, but it wasn't dragged out terribly long, thankfully, because I could have seen myself getting annoyed with both these factors.
The story is very predictable - I knew who the murderer was behind all the "mystery murderer" cases when the character was first introduced. I also knew how the ending would generally play out. But while Two Cops was predictable, it was particularly enjoyable. I did not find myself bored even though I had a pretty good idea as to what would happen.
This is directly due to the fact that Soo Chang's character was particularly entertaining when he was in Dong Tak's body (so really, I found Jo Jung Suk to be a great actor portraying 2 different characters!). The dynamics between Dong Tak and Soo Chang was also pretty hilarious (with Dong Tak having relative meltdowns thinking he was crazy being frickin hilarious!). And I also really enjoyed seeing all of the "gangsters" and "thugs" become sidekicks to the investigations. They were pretty cute! Even the side stories were pleasant to watch (Ko Bong Sook and Dokgo for example).
Overall, this drama was well paced and a great balance of tones and genres, even if relatively predictable. Not the best drama of it's genres out there, but worth the watch for sure! Also, Jo Jung Suk and Hyeri have some HOT kisses - I'd love to see them as main leads in another romantic relationship in the future!
