Slow clap for the worst police ever.  They should get an award for how stupid ALL the police work was in the ENTIRE show.  They were outright incompetent.  So much so that they were unable to do anything without the main couple.  What.the.heck.  This was tolerable in the beginning, when the police work wasn't that necessary for the plot, but by the end, it had us screaming in rage.  It also dragged out the ending to be super lame and annoying.  All I wanted was for it to be over, and it was not.  But, as bad as the writing and police plot of this show was, the main couple almost made up for it.  Yoochun has to be the cutest man in the world.  He pulls off aegyo and is a namja at the same time.  How does he do that.  But Nam Goong Min... how in the heck were we supposed to deal with that?  He's creepy.  Let's talk about how creepy he is while showing him without a shirt and being all sexy.  They would literally send such mixed signals about him, forcing us to be attracted to him against our wills.  But he seriously was amazing in his role too.  Yoon Jin Seo had some amazing parts... if the rottenness of the police didn't ruin a lot of them, she was still cool.  So basically we have a bunch of cool characters trapped in a crappy cop show with horrible plot writing, not necessarily bad other type, just in the flow of the story and plot devices.  Romance wise it was good, natural, cute relationship development, but the rest was super bad.  So it's good and bad at the same time.  Super enjoyable and then ridiculous.  Just don't take it seriously and you'll be fine.  More details about it in this post.  It definitely has tons of laugh out loud moments.  Both intentional and not so intentional, so it's fun.
