I remember the original British drama. It was great if you understand British humour. Very NOT politically correct.
The US version was even funnier and also so NOT pc.
I do hope they keep the humour with the Korean rendition. Tunnel was tame by comparison though the genre’s the same.

Again…and again…
Korea lost their creativity, and adapt the other series.
I hope its the last korean adaptation series.

Just finished watching. I complete it in a week. Story Interesting but ending is mot realistic – it will not happen in real life – I think.
I watched till the end bc Jung Kyung Ho is very charming smart “investigator” 🙂
