The cat-and-mouse story between Nam Han-joon and Han Jae-hee is the most exciting part of the series, and it remains to be seen whether it lives up to the promise.

At a few points in the show, characters are shown to have supernatural strength — running fast and scaling buildings. Our Take: While the premise of the show seems fun and entertaining, it is unfortunately a little bit undercooked. The main issue is that Nam Han-joon feels like an extremely self-obsessed person, and the characterization comes off more like a caricature than anything else. As he’s investigating a hit-and-run case involving one of his client’s husbands, he is introduced to Detective Han Jae-hee (Oh Yeon-seo), forming a slight crush on her while she investigates him, setting up a cat-and-mouse game for the series.

Jeong Man-sik is hilarious as Jae-hui’s second in command, a detective who prefers easy cases and looking the other way.

Later on, Han-joon’s group find out about the team that has taken the hit-and-run case, but find themselves interrupted by the appearance of someone dubbed “Looney.” And, while they search for her, we see that it’s in fact Jae-hui, who has been rummaging through the shaman’s belongings in the hopes of finding something suspicious. When the two meet, it’s clear that suspicions are aroused, as the famous detective seems curious as to how a shaman could have known about the case in so much detail. In time, the group head out to find the dead body, realising it is in a memorial park, and acknowledging their need to discover it before Gyeong-ho’s secretary can after some astute deduction. And, despite Du-jin’s grievances over the employment of such a person, he’s told to stick it out by his boss, observe Jae-hui, and get rid of her when the timing is right so they can climb the employment ladder together. It does bear fruits for the client too, of course, as the man is able to catch his fleeing ex-wife, but we’re left to presume that any work Han-joon does incurs a hefty cost. But such a fancy way of living is not shared by sibling Nam Hye-jun, the NIS worker he lives with, even if the shaman’s workers appear to adore what they do, and the enamored fans waiting outside buy into this idea of luxury.
