There was a time we complained that the Korean drama market was oversaturated with romance. Solution? More crime/police dramas.

From Wikipedia:

An undercover investigative squad of homicide detectives is formed, and their extra-legal methods include wiretapping, communications monitoring and deep-cover infiltration. Among its members are Cha Gun-woo, a former SEAL and SWAT member who pursues his targets doggedly and is secretly on a revenge mission after his girlfriend’s death; principled and perceptive team leader Jang Mu-won, who was granted permission to form the squad and will personally face the consequences if it fails; Yoo Min-joo, who’s skilled in disguise, psychoanalysis and martial arts; and sly Choi Tae-pyeong, who gets information from shady back-alley connections.

What I like most about American crime dramas is that they are usually procedural so I don’t need to follow them week-to-week. I don’t mind serialized crime dramas but what I generally dislike about Korean ones is that the first four episodes will be episodic to introduce the characters then they’ll spend the next 12 on one case. And in order to stretch that story out, they’ll add many boring and obvious twists and red herrings. Please don’t be like this, “Hidden Identity.”
