It has been a long time since I have not had a super satisfying ending I guess. This doesn't mean this show is bad, but its definitely not amazing

It was starting off pretty good, but something very unexpected happened halfway thru the show, and at first, I thought, since it is different from what shows normally do, this could be really good. And it could've been really good.

I think I really would have preferred if they did another arc, something like the backstory of one of the leads, instead of just one arc the whole time. This is because, at one point, the show got stale. The main character wasn't doing much at all, and it wasn't really a detective show at that point. It felt a bit like they were adding extra scenes that weren't necessary, to make the arc last the whole 16 episodes.

I liked the relationship between the male and female lead, but they definitely could've handled it better. There is a part, where something happens to the male lead. When that happened, the female lead finding out / helping him was really underwhelming and could've been much better.

I also would've liked it if the main male lead, was treated more like a lead, instead of a side character, who is smart, but sometimes you forget he's there

All in all, I would recommend this show to someone looking for a detective drama, as it is still not bad. But I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for a very good drama in general. This show is not in my top 10, but it is still an above-average show I guess.

Recommendations:

One of the main shows to watch that are somewhat similar, are Memorist, which was a great show, personally a better detective show than this one.

Secondly, 365 repeat the year, a criminally underrated show. It is not super popular, but it has some amazing twists and turns. However, there is even less romance than this show, but it still somewhat hints at it.
