[edit]Synopsis

This drama focuses on a group of detectives in the Seoul Gangnam Police Homicide Division who solve crimes based on real life cases with their variety of skills and investigative methods. At the forefront of the team is the impulsive and hotheaded detective Park Se Hyuk and the cold, commanding police chief, Jung Il Do. Park Se Hyuk's passion for his work and rough personality results in a tendency to take action first before thinking later, in contrast with Jung Il Do's by-the-book style. However, his greatest weapon is an instinctive knowledge of a criminal's tricks and mental workings that he gained from his father, the legendary thief, and his own childhood in the streets. Together with the other members of a special team formed to catch Lupin, a notorious burglar, he juggles work with his own personal quest to find his father and confront his older brother, a crooked detective.

    I came to this crime drama because it paired my favorite couple from JUMONG: Song Il-Gook & Song Ji-Hyo. I stayed because I enjoyed how the drama developed & how the detectives solved their cases. The supporting cast (especially Min-Joo's over the top office mates) all handled their roles well.

    One of the pluses for me was seeing a softer side (& a smile) to my favorite perennial bad guy: Kim Gyu-Chul. The other plus was Insooni's contribution to the OST: loved her Farewell/Goodbye!

    Overall, this was a very enjoyable drama & by the end, when the story's main issues were resolved, I was glad I watched it.

    I watched this because Kim Joon is in it, but I ended with enjoying all of the actors!!! The story is great although I did guess "who done it" from pretty much the beginning. I think that is because I read a lot of mystery books. Anyway the plot is well organized and makes perfect since. They keep the love low key which is good for me, because I was watching this as an escape from my usual romantic comedy. I also like that this wasn't a teenybopper type KD. The actors are more my age and older and that appeals to me. The theme song is awesome. I listen to it all the time. Overall I think this is a well written and well acted read more
