I knew it was some scam by how fast those tow trucks arrived. It was weird but I would not have thought they were taking advantage of (a) local lore and (b) the actual construction of the road haha. I was expecting a PSA at the end of the episode saying something similar happened in reality but I guess this was just fiction haha.

I know he was involved in an accidental death but I still felt so bad for him. So many people seemed so devastated about what happened. I feel like I haven't seen that much in the dramas I've watched. Most of the time, there's an unrepentant culprit or victim blaming. Here, both Yeon Ho & his parents are guilt ridden and sorry to the victims' loved ones.

Thing is, it's also a weird circumstance and cover up around it so there's also another layer of injustice.
If Yeon Ho was already guilty of not paying attention to the road, I wonder what other reason the chief (or whatever he was) wanted him to give and why.

I feel so bad for these women who are forced into these situations where they're victimized by the bosses and then can't even do anything. Again! It kinda surprises me that more women don't snap. How does she gets thrown out of moving car (or she jumped out to prevent an assault) and nothing can be done for her cause she isn't powerful & connected.
I thought the mother was gonna turn the phone in behind her daughter's back.

I really like that every time there is a fight, it’s our women who take the lead roles. They are the fighters!!! I love them both and also love their camaraderie at work. Their secret gossip was so cute.

The cases are a little too predictable. The moment the tow trucks arrived you know it’s a scam. I wish the cases are a bit more complex and interesting.

Other than that I love our squad. I don’t need anything romantic to happen. I just want Yeon-ho to make peace with what happened and love his life. But I have a strong feeling he was framed and those HS kids gave fake testimony to save the actual culprit. His case definitely is more interesting for now. Or am I misreading this? Also, did he go to jail? Or this was a coverup and by who??

I picked this show up this week and enjoyed it. I should have known that there would be a lot of complicated cases involving traffic, because of how often a white truck is used as a murder weapon in kdramas!

But I thought the implication of the big replay reveal of Yeon-ho's accident was that, even though he did look away from the road, he swerved to avoid killing the woman and instead crashed into the bus. So while he was definitely involved in the accident, he was not the one to kill her? Wasn't that the case, or did I just misinterpret something?

Anyway, I always love it when the FL is the action hero, and the fact that she, rather than a male character, is playing a brilliant flashy spin-drift driver is great as well. I love her parallel parking technique!

I am continuing to genuinely enjoy this drama.

I do like that Yeon-Ho is not a victim but is on a redemption arc where he's actually now just moping about in angst but actually doing his best to make amends. Now we know his motivation for being a whistleblower in the first case.

The TCI team is truly the gift that keeps giving. I laughed out loud at least once each episode. Favourite scene was the chief taking point in the fight and going down fast haha!

Show's getting better and better with each episode... so many lol moments, mixed in with the investigations and angsty moments... Just up my alley (while looking nervously around for any lurking cars out to hit me).

The cases are a bit basic, but I guess the overarching plot of the MLs past accident will slowly take over the show- as always- but it'll be interesting to watch his revenge and hopefully, redemption. I feel the his superior is still looking into the case, and he too joined TCI to do some of own digging. I'm sure the team will rally around and help him as well.
I love the FL- she's so cool. I wish I had her driving skills- my childhood dream was to become a rally driver like my grandad, but much to his eternal disgust, I never overcame my fear of a manual transmission thanks to a few learner crashes.

And talking of crashes, I really really wished for a guided missile, or at least this TCI team, here this week. The drunk, underage son of a prominent realty developer was let off with a warning, a 300-word essay to write on the dangers of drunk driving, and some hours of community service, for KILLING 2 people after crashing into them with his dad's Porsche. Corruption, politics/money nexus, and "law for thee, not for me" is everywhere here, but cases like this really bring it out into the open. Hopefully, the outrage surrounding this verdict will bring some justice to the victims.

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out in the end that Yeon-ho isn't to blame for the couple's death, or at least he's only partly to blame, but the three (?) other students.

Yeon-ho has certainly always been very introverted and an analytical numbers person, but I found it interesting how much more animated he seemed before the accident. Now it feels like the guilt is pressing down on his shoulders. I'm looking forward to seeing how he will regain a little more joie de vivre soon.

Thank you, @solstices, for the weecap. I'm really enjoying the fast pace of this show. What I like the most are the tips for drivers at the end of the episodes.

Are we watching too many dramas to understand that the tow compagny was a scammer? Or the Police was very slow? Because they came so fast and they are paid for it.

For the past, clearly, we got only his side of the accident and he lost consciousness and Pyo Myung-Hak and the 3 students are suspicious.

Still enjoying this drama!!

Episode 3 made me miss Lee Min-ki so much, I went and re-watched my favorite parts of Because This Life Is My First...I guess I'm not enjoying this drama! 🫢

I enjoyed this week's episode. Those scammers ought to be in jail. Good thing TCI got Yeon Ho in their team to track down the ghost scammers. Hopefully they will also do something about that road (it it is also based on a real case).

I do like the redemption arc of Yeon Ho after experiencing a fatal crash in his youth. I also wonder if it is really his fault since those high school witnesses are very sketchy.

Thanks @solstices for the speedy uploading of the recap which has captured what makes this show such an interesting watch.

This show has managed to balance the humour within the team dynamics, with the serious nature of the cases. The team have literally been annexed off from the rest of the force and yet are extremely well qualified and dedicated to their work. I wonder whether their separation will protect them from the corruption of some key players within the other departments.

Yeonho’s accident was definitely a case of wrong place wrong time and he was well and truly framed while the real killer walked away unblemished.

The poor woman was powerlessness personified; being forcibly taken to a house to be sexually assaulted, being injured while trying to escape and then threatened in the most cruel way. How will she be able to stay sane being forced to remain in that work environment? Her poor mum hearing that threat and being made to feel at fault because she is a financial burden to her daughter.

I look forward to seeing the TCI steal the limelight by solving the high profile case through their investigation of the seemingly unrelated homeless man’s murder. I like the way the cases present as obvious but the nuanced elements are brought out in the execution of the plans to catch the criminals.

Was I the only one who thought Yeonho would actually fight back in the gym? I assumed he has a black belt but chose not to use those skills following the awful experience of the accident and its subsequent impact on his life.

I love Kwak Sun Young, she has such charisma and a very specific sort of energy that I love seeing on my screen. So Hee is such a fun character, I hope they keep up her level of seriousness combined with craziness throughout the show.

I'm really enjoying that the two women in the group are the action heroes, and that it isn't yet another case of a giant horde of men with one special woman. Instead there's two women to the three men in the group and they all have their own personalities and fun interactions.

I can't say the cases are that intricate or unpredictable, but their solving is done with really fun character interactions and action, so I'm enjoying them a lot anyway.

I'm curious about whether Yeon Ho is actually the culprit in the accidental deaths or if he was only guilty of momentary distraction but didn't actually kill them, and instead it was whatever was bearing down on him that killed them and he got implicated for it because the killers had connections. I suppose it'll get clearer soon now that the a more major villain has entered the story.

I did lol a bit at So Hee's dad just giving out her life story to this man he never met before, but he did say she'd talked about him and it was a very sweet sequence and a nice way to get some background and interaction, so I'll take it. I also loved how nerdy and awkward Yeon Ho is and didn't turn out to be a secret action star. His indignation at So Hee making fun of his sore neck was a good breaking through his quiet exterior moment between the two. The team stuff has all been really fun.
