Yeah, something about sisters-in-law fighting back. I was tempted to watch since I like 李宝英. But rated quite low so I skipped it. Too many higher-rated shows out there.
Last one I watched was Signal.
Saw entire series in 2 days

It was engaging in beginning but ending was so bad I decide never to watch another k drama...

The Zombie move Alive! Is very good.

Also in my queue. Not in front though. The only reason it is in my queue is Krystal Jung.

Which r the higher rated ongoing? I watching Hospital Playlist 2... quite heartwarming but each episode quite long

Hospital Playlist 2 very highly rated. 9.5 at douban. Mine is at 7.4.

At mydramalist, Hospital Playlist 2 is rated 9.1. Mine is rated 8.3.

For ongoing Korean TV series, not that many higher than 8.3 at mydramalist. I guess you can try Devil Judge.

For me, I usually watched completed series so I have many older but higher-rated ones waiting for me to watch. My next three series are all Japanese. Watching Higashino Keigo Samayou Yaiba (彷徨之刃) now. Not really that great at ep 3. But will still watch since there are only 6 eps.

Next will be Cold Case: Shinjitsu no Tobira 3. The first 2 seasons are very good. Better than the original US version.

Ya not many good Korean dramas at the moment... so will wait for Kingdom 3... watched the movie prequel of the origins n its all about the hatred fight from start... 

Seems like Cold Case is interesting...

Signal is good. Actually all the Korean dramas are like that for their endings. Always happy ending and always one episode too long. Many Korean dramas would be true classics if they dare to end on a tragic note.

Another good one is Flower of Evil.
I was watching my favorite Thai drama on Ch U last Sat at friend's place. Kena lectured by this friend for wasting time and doing nothing...  Undecided

Netflix don't have. Must watch in VIU.


Did you watch the little 3 Korean show in Netflix?

 Is this nice?

Yeah, Signal is really good.

For the detective/crime genre, you can try these:
  • Missing Noir M (2015). Do note that Missing Noir M has an open ending just like Signal. But it does not impact the earlier cases. Some cases take 2 episodes to resolve. Some take 1 episode to resolve.
  • Stranger Season 1 (2017)
  • Tunnel (2017)
  • Children of Nobody (2018)
  • God's Gift - 14 Days (2014)
  • Partners for Justice Season 2 (2019). Need to watch season 1 which is quite good.
  • Designated Survivor: 60 Days (2019). Considered political genre and I preferred this over the US original.
  • Kairos (2020)
  • Punch (2014)
  • Law School (2021)
  • Ghost (2012)


There are two others which I really like just until the ending. They are a bit like Signal. Great just until the end.
  • Life on Mars (2018) - Remake of UK series. There's a US remake too. Great till just the end. The ending not that good just like Signal.
  • Nine: Nine Times Time Travel (2013)


If you prefer a more recent series (besides Kairos and Law School which are listed in the first list). You can try these (in order of my preference):
  • Monster
  • Mouse
  • Flower of Evil



If you want to venture outside the detective/crime genre, you can try these:
  • My Mister (2018)
  • Mother (2018) - Remake of Japanese series.
  • Misaeng: Incomplete Life (2014). I prefer the Chinese remake.
  • Live (2018). Can be considered Detective/Crime genre but more a slice of life series of a few cops.
  • Go Back Couple (2017)
  • What's Wrong with Secretary Kim (2018)


They are are others but I think enough for now.

6.6 on Douban
6.8 on mydramalist

Higashino Keigo Samayou Yaiba is definitely watchable. I just finished it last night. Not highly exciting but realistic and with a message. It has the same message as the Korean TV series Law School with the perspective from the cops instead of prosecutors in Law School.

Maybe because its plot is simple thus the message is stronger and touched the viewers more than Law School's.
Vagabond.
Some1 recommended me Vicenzo more than 1 mth ago.

I think the CEO of Babel has more energy skills than the main actor. Even Inzaghi is cutter than him.

But overall, lawyer fighting the bad classic story. The best of this Drama is their long list of spanish, classical, movie effects . . .  67 songs in total.
