I didn't watch Taxi Driver, so this episode reminded me of Squad 38.
I have fun with shows like this, but I struggle a little being faithful to them.
I hope I can keep up and enjoy the ride.
I wonder if this will be a team I'll come to care about, since that's the main thing that makes me stick around (Lookout, YAS, Fiery Priest, S38, etc).

I like the FL, but it kinda felt like she's carrying with everything. I don't know what's with her boss. And I didn't get to appreciate the charisma of the other two members of the team. I liked Lee Min Ki's character.

For some reason the scammer was the highlight of the episode for me. He was hilarious. Like Doug Judy from B99. LOL

I don’t know Korean road or traffic laws but if a guy “accidentally” killed three elderly pedestrians and severely injured another, at minimum it looks like this guy can’t drive and is a safety hazard. Why didn’t they revoke his driver’s license at least??

Had a lot of fun with this first episode (and the second one for that matter).

This team is really just a bunch of loveable misfits that are actually pretty good at their job, with the missing link being the ML. Compared to the 2 women, he might not be a good fighter, and apparently isn't able to drive a car, but he's incredibly smart and attentive, which is exactly the type of person this team needs. And I just love this premise.

Hopefully the show keeps this up and doesn't swerve off the road only to crash into a truck of doom.

we need this team in Tallinn. Cars rule here, pedestrian is a nothing. we have no rights. Basically the law is on their side. if you get hit, it is your fault bc you were not fast enough. im not religious but I feel like praying every time I step outside. all development is in the name of cars

I was pleasantly surprised by the first two episodes. The title in particular had led me to expect more mindless action. In contrast to "Dare to Love Me", I mostly like the humour here.

I'm just surprised that someone who has caused several fatal accidents still has a driving licence. But maybe that explains the Truck of Doom...

CRASH was a very pleasant surprise.

I think I'll watch this, not AN ATYPICAL FAMILY. This has characters that are much more engaging, there is a sense of humour woven through it, and it held my attention, so that's saying something considering that my other livewatch now is LOVELY RUNNER (I'm catching up fast with the episodes) and DOCTOR SLUMP (Park Hyung-Shik is always first rate in rom-coms).

I actually giggled my way through the first episode! The Chief wondering what police force BTS was really had me in splits. I liked the action and the car chases were really good.
I hope this comedic tone stays for the whole series, because there's nothing I love more than a funny police procedural. I was hoping Chief Inspector would take up FlexCop's place, but with the more serious route it's gone down, it looks like Crash will do that job for now.
Also, I've liked Kwak Sun Young in her other shows, Behind Every Star and Brainworks- she has a certain je ne c'est quoi that I like in leading ladies. And I really hope Lee Min Ki gets to smile in this series - he didn't do much of that in any of the 3 others I've seen him in- but who can forget that radiance at the end of Behind Your Touch? Not I.

I had fun with this episode and the 2nd episode. Unfortunately it lost most of the funny after the first episode. It still has some laughs, but it wasn't as funny as the first 20 mins or so.

First episode was a set up. Had its moments. But by the second episode I was really having fun with it.
I love our TCI squad already. Captain Jung is hilarious when he shuts down people with his idioms. The actor is fun to watch.
LMK plays a counter foil to this chaotic bunch.
The humor works for me. It’s no flex cop, but it has its own charm.
The case seemed far fetched. 3 accidents and no one found it suspicious???!

So far, so good or at least so interesting. I liked the way scenarios were imagined and I thought the pacing was good. It's intriguing to me how the show has to make a topic like insurance (frauds & scams) and traffic crimes engaging. I liked the PSA type clips at the end of the episode. I wonder if they'll continue that for the duration of the drama.

I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about the captain of the team. Him just switching tables irked me but then I thought about the office/station politics involved and figured he probably thought it was better to just move than cause any more issues but ahh, it's still irksome! Haha

I wonder why the team's space seems to be like a storage container or something. They can't even get an official looking office? Even a small one? But I get that it visually shows just how low on the totem pole they are considered. Almost makes you wonder why anyone would choose such a team to be on.

This is the first time I've seen the actor playing the chief not screaming/yelling or not instantly punchable. Who knows if that will change in the future. This was also my first time seeing the actor playing the culprit in anything other than Taxi Driver. Always interesting to see actors take on villainous roles because sometimes you can tell they're having fun with it.

Thanks for the recap @solstices This show reminded me of the Dukes of Hazzard with its old style car and epic chase scenes and general silliness whilst still righting the wrongs.
I am sure one of the trailers for this show showed them being relocated to a former nursery school and looking at the dinginess of their current office it would be a step up.

I am looking forward to seeing how they balance the serious case per week and info on traffic law with the fun capers. I hope they get the respect they deserve from the chief and the rival department by the end of the season.

I liked this show more than I expected! I enjoed the cast and the TCI team. So far the main characters are likeable.

That driver/fraudster case got me all riled up though. I think him killing the first old lady should already have his licensed revoked and get jail time. SK laws are very lenient and glad that they had made changes to prevent similar cases. I can't believe he got to repeat it three more times until someone took notice 🤦‍♀️🙅‍♀️

I loved the first 15 mins or so until everything became serious. I did not enjoy the plot, so a drop from me, but let the drama continue to be good for the others. Thanks @solstices.
