I've been watching a ton of Korean movies on NF in the last two years, and now they're starting to get Korean TV shows, so I decided to give this one a try. The first episode was very well done; funny characters, good acting and directing, good music with little or no synths, and an interesting plot. We figured the rest of the series would be the same, but it got kind of repetitive after a while; the same music cues repeated endlessly, sometimes inappropriate for the scene, and almost always overly sentimental. They milked the Dickensian plot for twenty episodes, and it got kind of stupid after a while, but you get hooked because you want to find out who the killer was, who ordered him to kill the mother, etc... The humor (a lot of it unintentional) also kept us watching. It was aimed at a younger audience, so there was nothing in it that wouldn't fit into a G rating. In the end it was worth watching, but the same music cues used on all twenty episodes (maybe they were too cheap to hire a composer) drove me nuts.
score 7/10
