Review:
Good story, nice flow, attentive characters. In these sort of dramas at the beginning the we get to see the start of the story and the exposure of the main characters, then we start wondering who's the villain in the series, as this pattern always repeats itself. Afterwards we try to guess what is the "case" about and what's the story behind it...so basically we accept the protagonists and antagonists as they are given to us, And afterwards we are given the background about the "villains" and we watch it and ask the same question again and again "what the hell?! couldn't they show us that from the beginning!!!!" but then the story would be different as without knowing the facts we chose to symphatize with one specific character as he/she looks decent and has a good reasons so we automatically "forget" to ask the reasons behind "villain's" story. Well that's normal, I like this genre and always see this pattern, in other dramas too not only korean dramas use it.
Well the "villain" is someone who had a big dream but unfortunately chose the wrong way to get it. As YJH tries to solve the cases he finds out the ugly truth about other people, and considering that he depends on government for his work, that is a big obstacle. Sadly enough not everyone understands the importance of forensic science especially nowadays with so much cases. A lot of things can be prevented because of it, but when u depend on officials it would be hard to solve it accordingly.
As Hobbes said about country, which can't survive without government as it would lead to "state of nature" and endless wars, so there's no alternative, people can't live without government", even if corrupted.
So basically it means that we should learn to deal with obstacles rationally, which our characters do. As skilled and intelligent people should do.
