Hope this drama turns out nice and exciting. 😛
Will there be any romance between the 2 leads bc Choi Kang Hee is married to a prosecutor (not Kwon Sang Woo) in this drama…… ???
March 9th, 2017 at 7:33 pm
Looks like it’s a good drama to watch.
March 10th, 2017 at 1:59 am
Spoiler alert!!!
Choi kanghee will definitely have a divorce with his prosecutor husband in this drama, cuz you know…. in order to have a romantic relationship with the male lead :p
March 12th, 2017 at 7:08 am
Looks like it’s a good drama to watch.
March 13th, 2017 at 1:23 pm
Been waiting for this…. Love him, Kwon Sang Woo

A very good action filled start to a comedy. The leads make a good combination.
April 7th, 2017 at 10:17 am
Weird or mystery .. You decide
April 7th, 2017 at 11:36 am
The first 10 minutes are not interesting at all.
April 9th, 2017 at 1:14 pm
Not creative. Too cliched. Boring.
April 9th, 2017 at 7:19 pm
I love it, it has detective conan vibes.
*spoiler
When robery case in 2nd ep. turned out to be murder case … Detective conan’s OST playing in my head.
April 11th, 2017 at 8:16 pm
after watching 1st and 2nd episode, I find it quite interesting. Will continue watching 😛
April 13th, 2017 at 8:18 pm
This is an underrated drama that deserves more attention. The chemistry between the leads is priceless. Their comedic timing is in sync and you often forget they are reciting a script. They act like married people and it is the highlight of the drama besides the excellent Sherlock Holmes crime solving power of the female lead character. It is great to see Kwon Sang Woo, the male lead, back in a TV drama(. I wait for him to smile in every episode which just lights up my day)
April 15th, 2017 at 1:19 am
Watda dum-dumb drama? Wasted my precious times. Why this woman so annoying and unappealing look to me? I respect middle-aged and grandma but not this married woman who like to meddle everyone business and seem like the policemen and detective are so dumb can’t know how to solve a problem. It’s not comedian or hilarious dramas, didn’t make me excited but just boring to look at their characters.
Quitted, no more talk…..

@Gangnam Gangs, I almost want to say that but you said it all. Lousy drama, hate the main actress and actor, both too pretty and handsome for me to tie them up in loveline story.
Gangs, let us watch “Tunnel”, “Whisper” or “Chicago Typewriter” better than this drama.
April 22nd, 2017 at 8:40 am
Oh wow! I absolutely love this drama. This is so underrated. I’m already in episode 6 and can’t hardly wait for next week for the next episode. I love both the lead actor and actress. The chemistry is great! They are still my favorite! Every scene makes me excited and I find it cute and funny! Queen of Mystery Fighting!
Love Kwon Sang Woo (Stairway to Heaven, Bing Thing and Choi Kang Hee (Glamorous Temptation, Protect the Boss, 7th Grade Civil Servant and Heart To Heart)
April 28th, 2017 at 10:24 pm
I love this drama, very entertaining, hilarious and the actress I love her too funny and of course the leading, so sweet and funny..
April 29th, 2017 at 6:50 pm
So far I like this drama. It is a mix between comedy and mystery. Choi Kang Hee look kind of odd to me in this drama, she remind me of panda all the time (mainly her eyes). This drama is not for everyone, some will like it but others will hate it. I will suggest give it a chance, watch 2-3 episodes and decide whether you want to continue. I like this drama myself, especially the last two episodes 7 and 8.
May 4th, 2017 at 7:12 pm
The main lead actress.. something is wrong with her eyes.. Seems not natural.. I dunno..
May 5th, 2017 at 6:36 pm
Nice theme music by A.DE.
May 6th, 2017 at 2:19 pm
I stopped watching at Ep 8. It is sad, obvious that there is no love line between female and male leads not even a hint, no romance at all. Female lead happily married so impossible, I don’t like it. Sorry
May 7th, 2017 at 10:56 pm
I love this drama, crime, mystery…so entertaining.. I love the lead actress, so funny and adorable and of course the lead actor..so cute and funny too…no boring episodes, hilarious and i love the story..
May 8th, 2017 at 1:42 am
Will there be any romance between the 2 leads
May 12th, 2017 at 7:12 am
very good drama ^^ please i need more ep not 16 or another season pleasssssssssssssssse &&
May 13th, 2017 at 10:02 am
Been watching dramas for many years, but have yet to understand why reviewers beat a drama they don t like to a pulp, criticize the actors and actresses, and then ramble on about all the other wonderful dramas playing. Well, if you dislike the drama so much, why are you still hanging around taking up space.
May 14th, 2017 at 3:27 am
I really love this drama so much! No boring episodes! The characters are all cute and funny! I just wish it doesn’t end in16th episode! I want more! I want more! Wish even just until 20 episode.pls. I can see jelousy on the part of the lead actor but it has to be more episode so we can see… yes why do boys teasee girls… because they like them.
May 14th, 2017 at 6:20 am
I really hope this one goes on past 16 episodes. The characters are very interesting, it would be such a loss if their stories aren’t explored to some extent. The cases so far have had such intriguing twists too.
It reminds me a little of “The Mentalist”. Though honestly this drama is just addictive n keeps me rooted till the episode ends.
As for the romance… I find this rather refreshing. Its not the typical sequence people are used to and that’s what makes it totally worth watching.
May 18th, 2017 at 3:44 pm
please more EP please &&
May 18th, 2017 at 4:33 pm
Plsss more episodes pls…. pls…. I love the casts more than I love the other dramas. No other drama is interesting for me than this drama! I love Kwon Sang Woo and Choi Kang Hee so much! Love their acting and the 2nd lead is so cute and naive hahahaha! I wnt more episodes please 😊☺😊😊😀❤❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌸🌸🌸🌸
May 19th, 2017 at 12:22 am
I love this drama, funny, cute lead stars, yeah more episodes please..i love sang woo, he sang amazingly and kang hee is perfect ,funny, energetic, cute in acting her role..awesome ajuma..love love this mystery drama..
May 19th, 2017 at 9:50 pm
This drama is really interesting . I love the plot and the story line . It is funny and light but at the same time you can feel the tense and the mystery vibe when they started investigating the case . Also , there’s a lot of suspicious character which i still don’t know about them (i was watching until ep 10 for now) and makes me curious more and more
May 20th, 2017 at 1:48 pm
I like this drama a lot but also find the pacing of the drama a little bit weird. It only start to show the story between the main actor and actress families until the last two episodes. Before that, episode 13 and 14 was totally unrelated story with very little consequence.
May 25th, 2017 at 5:50 am
Please please let the lead actor sing an ost of the song Lies Lies I loved his voice T_T
This series warms my heart it has been a long time since I watched such a creative story and amazing actors.
Supporting Seol Ok and detective Ha from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
Thank you for the wonderful and amazing series.

Hey, I’m a fan from Europe, I’m from the Czech Republic.
I love this show. I translate it into Czech for fans from the Czech Republic.
I love humor, which is in the show. Still I hope that the relationship of the main characters will move forward.
Because it’s open ending, I hope they make a second series.
With love from the Czech Republic Bri

I was irritated that the action and detailed background just got exposed in the last of the drama. Then, it ends abruptly with clear evidence that there must be a season 2. They could have completed in one season with about 20 episodes total. I will watch season 2 because I like the acting talent. Storyline got weak at the end.
May 26th, 2017 at 10:02 pm
I ageee with # 35 that :-
1) storyline weaker as it nears the ending. It loses it’s the audience interest to find out the mystery in hyuk soos death
2) it started with a good feel of the storyline and thr chemistry between the main couple. But as the drama draws nearer to the ending, everything fades. Storyline weak. Chemistry between the main couple (I love the couple and they click very well ) also fade as they’re too lazy to work up the chemistry !
3) even if it implies to have a 2nd season, then this should end with an exciting bang that should get us frustrated and impatient to know the conclusion
4) I still think it could just end with one season with 20’episodes
May 27th, 2017 at 8:43 am
I doubt there will be a second season, the show is losing audience toward the end. I have hard time understand the writer and director, the story seems to be moving climax at times and then suddenly the stories stop. I won’t say this is a bad drama but I am very dissatisfied after the last episode, it start with potential but the potential was never fulfilled.
May 27th, 2017 at 11:30 pm
When I was watching episodes 1 to 6, I was wondering why the ratings were low when It was enjoyable to me. However, when I was into EP 7, I began to be irritated to watch the male lead and other officers as detectives being dumb and follow the lead of a housewife. Guess that could also be the reason for viewers dropping this drama. It could have been a very good drama if both leads are on equal par since Kwon is a popular actor. To see him as such a dismal and dumb character and supporting the lead actress is really a big disappointment. Anyway, on positive note, the plot is still watchable so I will still continue watching.
May 29th, 2017 at 9:10 pm
Huh? So what’s with Mr Kim looking for Hyun Soon? Why was the ring belonging to Hyun Soo on the skeletal finger? And why is she alive? So what was the case that was covered by Hyun Soo’s case? So many questions still hanging in the air and the drama ends … frustrating!! Hope there will be season 2 and this time please let there be romantic development between the leads and give more credit to the male lead on detective work instead of the actress.
August 25th, 2017 at 4:26 pm
i dont really like korean drama especially when it comes to investigation theme…but Mystery Queen is the exception.. i like it a lot.. hope they will make season 2 , this time with more romance between the lead casts..
September 4th, 2017 at 7:06 am
I loved this drama .. i am waiting for season 2
The comedy is really good .. and the main actors .. are really funny 🤣🤣🤣… it remind me of detective conan .. 👍👍👍👍
September 16th, 2017 at 6:01 am
