From the trailers I could guess that Rain is going to be an amazing character in the drama and that too with a double role in parallel worlds. So much excited for both plot and actors. 🙂

I love the story!! im quite surprise that i really like rain here..hahaha..n both actor has good chemistry..waiting next eps

Lim Ji-Yeon Only does her ROLE as Detective Ra, So for me as a Kdrama watcher, I Do understand why she acts like a Noisy,Terror-Action style of woman
In other world because that’s what their director intended her to demostrate the moment she is acting in front of the camera.

can’t keep my tears while watching the latest episode, Rain was superb! good work guys!

Enjoying the drama, but can’t stomach the violent killings. So unnecessary. On one hand, there’s a cute family love story, then this wicked evil killings. This writer takes me to the Disneyland, then to hell. This drama ride is very bumpy, and I’ve been ready to get off. Thankfully one more week. Korean dramas have been going dark – to the culture of death.

Unlike other thriller series, this one balances the violence with the sweetest love story ever. Not enjoying the violence side of it but it added to the intensity of the emotional side of the story. Rain has definitely come of age and I have enjoyed the new freshness he brought on board. Ratings or not, have really looked forward to this series, week after week.

Is there no drama airing after this show on MBC on Monday and Tuesday nights at 10:30 P.M.?? Does any one know??? Nothing is posted.
October 26th, 2019 at 6:30 pm
Looks like MBC is re-running Two Cops on Monday and Tuesday in the night spot. That is all they are showing is re-runs. Ever since they went on strike they didn’t seem to come back as strong as the other stations. They used to have a lot of dramas running prior to the strike. Not happy about this at all.
