That kiss. WHAT. It was by far the first K-drama kiss I've seen that didn't make me cringe with embarrassment and feel uncomfortable. The female actress actually engaged and DID YOU SEE HIM THROW HER ON THAT BED. WHAT.

That story with Chief Tiger and the innocent victim. I was calling him a piece of shit because I thought he covered up the victim's death by passing it off as Gap Dong. But to find out Gap Dong had been watching him and completed his ritual even though he didn't kill the woman. So there wasn't necessarily a 7th killing, but initially 8?

The ending of episode 12....MY FACE. I knew it was too easy for the slow guy to be Gap Dong. But THE CAPTAIN? It makes the scene with Mu Yeom make so much more sense, if he truly is Gap Dong. I didn't really suspect him at all because he never gave off a vibe until he became way too interested in Maria for my liking. That means he knows who she really is.

This scene is my favorite. Joon was magnificent. The crazy thing about the scene is that it was very difficult for me to watch, even though I knew it wasn't real. Get this man an award TONIGHT.

I was suspecting Mr. Yang, I was suspecting Kang Sang-Hoon, I was almost sure it was him!...but my jaw literally dropped when I saw it was detective Cha! I did not expect that o:
Can't wait to see next episode :)

I marathoned this show over the last couple days. The red-herrings don't feel as forced as other crime/mystery shows.

Ha Mu-Yeom is an annoying character but I'll deal. Male main characters in crime shows are usually the rash-impulsive type or the cold-calculating type. Both can be campy and annoying at times.

Yes, OP, how that kiss played out was surprising. Although, Ha Mu Yeom bothers me every time he engages in physical interactions with Maria. It's clear that she's uncomfortable but he continues until she resigns. It's such a gross message.

When this show is over, I'm going to have to watch everything Joon related that is cute, dumb, and/or sexy to cleanse me of Joon-Ryu Tae Oh impressions.

yes, I fully agree
Lee Joon is seriously amazing here, if he doesn't get some awards I'm going to fly myself to SK and demand justice !

Detective Cha tho, did not see that one coming *.*

This show is going to make me suspicious of EVERYONE! Next it's going to have me thinking Ji Wool has had plastic surgery and is actually Gap Dong. Is what it had me thinking while watching the episodes... then the ending came....

I wish I wasn't so Joonie biased because I'm amazed by him even when he's just like being president of the nose booger association sooo how am I supposed to express how amazing he is being lately! lfajlkjfdkljfaaa aaahhhahah He makes such aaaaahhhaah I can't deal with it. It was difficult to watch him but wowwwww!

I don't like Maria/Moo Yum. Maria bothers me. I need to know more about her.
