OP has only seen ep 1 so far, and although the drama is likely to be amazing it should be mentioned that the drama should come with trigger warnings for

violence, child abuse, murder scenes, mentions of rape, and more.

I'm very curious about this drama
Let me know how turns out and if I should pick it up

I've watched up to ep 3 and I think it's amazing. It reminds me of American crime dramas á la Criminal minds or NCIS, which I love(d).
It is, however, very disturbing sometimes, especially ep 2-3 that has child abuse as its theme so I wouldn't recommend it to casual watchers or persons who cannot watch tv shows depicting violence (as in the two mentioned previously).
(The violence isn't gratuitous violence though if that helps any.)

I like those type of show so I definitely check it out

I really like it. Jang Hyuk is always so shouty but for this role it works for him.

Will check it out for the plot.

Jang Hyuk in a new drama. ;~; I have yet to check this out unfortunately.

Lee Ha Na kinda scarred me for life in King of High School so hopefully I will able to swallow her this time around.

I am watching this one since episode 1 and super excited about it. So far is awesome I am loving as much as I loved signal. The female lead is really good a strong gentle and super professional character with no usual unnacessary dramaqueen actions they love giving to females. She even has this cold aura cause she is too focus in perfecting her job and ignoring the bullshit they give her all the time in the police being sexist about her.

The male character is good too he makes sense cause he is one of the jerks that has being left alone and is trying to cope with this strong female lead that they all painted in a really bad light.

I hope they keep the great story, so far is my favorite drama ongoing and I suggest action/police drama lovers to watch it.

I think it's great so far. It's got that Korean chill factor of not being explicitly gory (guys. they censor knives.) but having extremely messed up and cray cray antagonists. If I've learned anything from (reading spoilers of) korean movies, its that they do messed up incredibly well.

I really like that the ~super power~ the show is built around has a relatively logical explanation and every character seems pretty believable as a human so far. And Im excited to see the team properly assemble.

i adore this drama! originally i was interested in it only because of jang hyuk (jfc he is always SO good) but the plot is so gripping. third episode (and it was highest rated ep for ocn drama in general, if i'm not mistaken) is one of the best kdrama eps i ever came across. that case with a child was so well written, nervewrecking and impressive. it was a hell to wait a whole week for the ending!
i'd love to learn more about the writer because the more episodes i watch the more i become convinced that this drama keeps me so stressed and entertained because of brilliant construction of narrative. this writer has a great ability to keep the suspense.
also i find it rather odd that i saw multiple complaints that voice has too much gore or violence because lol.... it's super tame (especially for cable drama like ocn). but maybe that's because most watch mainstream dramas.
still sad that there were no eps last week!
