Gukyeongi

I am totally in love. She is the most impressive person I have ever seen since Arnold and ABBA. Yes I am old, like that hehehe. But this is good. So good. I am only onto episode 2, but I am so impressed. So much fun, so impressive I just have to say Thank You for this.

Such a good concept, mesmerising intro, and the best soundtrack I've seen in k-drama so far. Lead is really strong too, it has real Death Note vibe. Shame that action is going downhill pretty quickly. It's not bad, but it could be better. Visually 10/10, writing let's it down...

This is so nice to see Lee Yeong-ae surrounded by amazing cast and display her talent as a serious, clever and funny character. This is a refreshing portrait of a drunk devasted detective ! Original as all the clues come and go. We appreciate all the roles and it is cool to see this gang becoming attached to each others. Lee Yeong-ae is perfect and the outfit is legendary. We get more in 1 season than we usually get from other series, this shows how generous korean series are ! This serie has some flaws but overall it Is so pleasant to watch that it is ok.

Inspector Koo, or A Wonderful Sight is cleverly written and fairly stylish. The performances are all good-to-excellent, especially the leads. The best Korean comedy/drama? Perhaps not, but I have never seen a show have its imdb rating score swoop about so much!

At this time of writing, 88 out of 117 viewers rating it gave it a score of 7 or higher, with the largest group by far giving it a "10". Yet it now stands at 6.6, which might put future audiences from giving the show a try. Give it a try, anyway, I say.

There are claims it is trying to be a Korean version of Killing Eve. In a way, it's closer in feel to Sherlock. Not at that level of quality, but in the sense of it using graphics and structure to tell a story about a deeply flawed detective using almost superhuman skills to track a killer of near-supervillainous talent.

Inspector Koo is a fun play on manga comic books, and has some great comic moments. I would actually rate it a 7ish but felt there should be something countering its low score.

For some, this show may take a while to get into. The deep intricate (not weak) plot and constant switching back and forth between past and present; and between sets, requires one's full unflinching attention to fully capture its mosaic-piece revelations and contextualise the manic scene jumps.

Having freshly emerged from Saimdang into Inspector Koo, one needed to reset one's expectations to appreciate this completely different genre. Not something to watch whilst multitasking, especially when fully reliant on English subtitles.

Thanks to TheReviewGeek.com episode reviews, the lights came on and Inspector Koo turned out to be highly enjoyable kooky hilarious life manga cat and mouse thriller. The cast chemistry fitted well together apart from a really annoying hapless Santa. Both female leads were stellar. A

Lee Young Ae was very brave to have accepted this role, which goes to show her versatility and willingness to explore/ portray vastly different genre characters. Initially off putting to see her eccentric character, however in hingsight she fitted in like a glove. The showcase was Yi-Kung's character

Crime dramas are best told in 1-2 episodes but this has managed to pull off 12 hence a little protracted but highly engaging after all (on third take).

Actually rather entertaining with many cartoon moments which (if you flip the switch) can be hilarious.
