It really was amazing . It was excitjng, intriguing , suspenseful and realistic . Then after the episode it just dragged on and on .
It felt like.they were prolonging the series until it covered 16 episodes. It should have finished by by the 10th episode ( if not before )
. The female reporter Jin , was pushing boundaries . She was strong, persuasive, relentless, fearless and very ambitious , selfish and yet sensitive at times too . The character was played very badly by the actress. She actually made her character very boring and weak. She had a big part in the series . An actress who could act would have changed the whole dynamic of the show.
However the rest of the actors and actresses were fantastic !
This seriesshowed how unglamorous police work is. And that police officers are subject to corruption but that doesn't make them a bad person or a terrible cop. Corruption in the police force happens world wide and not just in South Korea.
They've been many cases whereby senior police officers in Scotland Yard, UK have been arrested for taking huge bribes for many years .
Team 1 police officers were very likeable characters . What I found confusing were all the names. The Korean names were very similar so hard to know which character people in the series were talking about . And in the translation they'd shorten the names or totally misspell the names which added to the confusion I googled the list of names , with pictures of the characters . And often the names translated were misspelt , giving the character a totally different first name or surname . I only recognised the character by their picture .
I'd love to know why wardrobe dressed Eui in ill fitting , diarrhoea coloured trousers throughout the whole series . In fact her jacket and sweatshirt were dire too . She was a teenager ,not an old hobo ! . When she went to live permanently with the detective and his sister , they could have put her in a pair of jeans and a decent sweat shirt or T shirt .
I read from one review on here that series 2 is better , so I'll give it a try by watching a few episodes . I love Korean crime and horror and have been watching it for years. It's much better than the rubbish Hollywood produces nowadays .
