This kdrama just entered my top5

Past few weeks waiting for every weekend so I could watch new episodes was so much fun and even though it was only 10 episodes we went through so many stories with Unit 1 that I didn't even realize how short it is in reality!

I must say that all of those stories and all of the characters were so well done made. I was bit confused by the ending but then I did little research and found out that actors of detectives of Unit 1 aren't here with us anymore so that ending made me tear up a little not gonna lie.

Anyways, I'll miss weekends with you Detective Park, Detective Kim, Detective Cho, Detective Seo and Chief Yu! I hope that in some universe you're together still investigating and catching the bad guys! I promise that one day I'll come back and spend the time rewatching this amazing drama again! Totally loved it!

THE DRAMA WHICH WILL MAKE YOU FEEL JOY AND YOU WILL SOB TOO....

This drama depicts if one want to do Justics Can be prevailed
Lee Je Hoon is one of the actor who can do this type of roles fantastically, I am always amazed by his acting
The other actors also did spectacular Job portraying their characters
This is such a wholesome series although it should had more episodes but still it is spectacular
If you are person who cries Easily you'll cry for sure.
The last 10 Minutes of the Drama will make you sob so hard cause the ending is just so wholesome ?
I wish I could watch the actual series "Chief Inspector" the original which is no where wo be found

The story is good but not satisfied the ending

The overall story of this drama is good from actors, story, production is on point however the ending was not satisfied. It left me hanging what happen to his team. After the promotion within the team, goes to the present day and they all dead like what happen?

Overall, applaud to the actors, production team for a very good experience that justice can still serve with the right authority. We will just hope to this day that we can still hope to be served to common people.

I love everything but.....

The only thing I wish is if the old YeongHan is portrayed as happier than how it's currently being presented

I mean I understand if the funeral scene is meant to be sad, but I wish to see more smile/laughter in other scenes. I don't know, there's something about his look that is just sooooo sad. I mean, for a great life he has lived, i really wish to see a happy old man.

Plus, he looks like a totally different person than the younger version of YeongHan. Not just in looks, but in overall being. Perhaps, age has taken its toll on our young YeongHan :)

Besides that, I love the show very much, especially the part on the FL! When I first sense romance in the show, I'm like "you better not give me another cliche where the FL needs to be saved". Thanks God they know better than to do that and deliver us an FL role that we all love. Like, we can really see how she is the support pillar for YeongHan and has been helpful in many ways. I really love such portrayal of FL than the typical K drama tropes

The ending is extremely satisfying, especially when they did the last recap of all characters. The story is wrapped up very tightly and neatly. Well done

Of course, the acting, the story, and everything is great. I love that it's in 1958 and it gives us cases that is somewhat different from the modern day cases. That said, somehow there's a gloomy undertone throughout the show, despite some funny moments. Maybe, it's the nostalgic vibe of the 50s!?

The highlight for me? Lee Jee Hoon! Ngl, I'm here for him and he totally delivers! Brownie points? Seeing him in 50s trench coat is a look I never know I needed to see this lifetime and he's so dashing!!

Overally, I enjoyed it- I just wish it's a little funnier and. a little lighter in tone. But, that's more of personal preference than testament of the quality of show.

If you love a solid crime, action, detective show, with amazing cast, go for it. Every single team member of unit 1 is very lovable!

I RARELY WATCH ACTION KDRAMAS (AND ALL GENRES OVERALL actually), BUT THIS ONE IS A MUST WATCH. The casts are amazing, they can represent their characters so well. Up to episode 2, the plot is great and enjoyable so far. And i have to mention about the SET that is CHEF'S KISS, well created. I can tell that the budget is budgeting. I LOVE IT

Lee Je Hoon pegando a los malos? si por favor

Comence este kdrama por Lee Je Hoon, si bien al principio le cuesta un poco arrancar desde el caso de los niños creo que dejan un buen final . En ciertos momentos, dudaba de la legalidad de sus metodos asi como el abuso de poder que hacían pero ha sido grato ver un kdrama de detectives ambientado en una epoca que no es la actual. No voy a negar que habia ciertas escenas que eran las tipiccas de risas enlatadas pero eso no ha conseguido que lo dejase , como he mencionado el caso de los niños y el último me han parecido sublimes. Me hubiera gustado que profundizasen un poco mas en lo de la mafia y los polícias corruptos (ese cambio de la unidad 2 en el ultimo capitulo se me ha hecho artificial). Me ha gustado la serie, no es el novamás pero se agradece ver a Lee Je Hoon pegando a los malos. La gente estará harta y dirán que tiene que probar otros papeles, que no lo niego pero sinceramente, a veces una chica necesita ver a Lee Je Hoon pegando puñetados para olvidarse durante una hora de sus responsabilidades.

Nonton ini karena penasaran. Chief Inspector, drama detektif populer Korsel yang udah 18 tahun selalu disebut kalau nonton Variety Show apapun. Nah, drama ini prekuelnya.

Prekuel ya, bukan sekuel. Latarnya tahun 50an, kasusnya banyak diangkat dari kasus-kasus saat itu. Jadi lumayan tau cara kerja detektif yang minim teknologi buat ngungkapin kasus. Kasusnya selesai dalam dua episode. Cepet, sat-set dan banyak komedinya. Kirain seserius di trailer :))

Drakor seseru ini cuma 10 episode, sayang banget sik.
