5/10
Entirely too much angst slows the momentum

Warning: Spoilers
If your goal is to watch interminable close-ups of Ji Chang Wook, then this is the series for you. The scriptwriting wanders all over without clear logic; the killer starts out with a specific motive for targeting his victims but by the midpoint, it appears he's become just another serial killer choosing his victims indiscriminately.

No one seems to share information that would lead to finding the killer or killers. The ML develops some insight as to the killer's motive about a quarter of the way through but then goes off on a tangent agonizing over the FL and his developing feelings for her. Similarly, the FL withholds information, thereby putting herself in danger, and equivocates endlessly about her own feelings.

The prosecutors involved are much more focused on their personal relationships to the detriment of getting any real work done.

I'm halfway through and would like to see how this mess gets resolved, but don't know how much more slogging I can tolerate. I, too, chose this series because I've seen Ji Chang Wook in better series and this is a disappointment.
