Episode 6 was the best so far. Exciting, not only in terms of the criminal case, but also in terms of all the power games in the police force.

Regardless of that, the lift scene was great. Poor Yeon-ho, you could see exactly how he would have liked to vanish into thin air. Anywhere but crammed in the lift with So-hee and her ex.
The chase scene was also memorable though.

Really liked these 2 episodes. The team dynamics are a ton of fun, and it's great seeing Yeon-ho and So-hee grow closer. I do hope that Yeon-ho learns to rely on the team more, because he kinda seems to have a habit of going at it alone. Also, can I just say that I love the bickering relationship of Hyeon Kyung and Dong-Gi? They seem like the kind of people that bicker constantly, but would totally go through the fire for each other if needed, and it's a joy to watch.

And now I'm just left wondering what So-hee ever saw in this Tae-joo clown...

The episodes were good.

It was nice to see that superintendent So wasn't a total jerk. He was very determined to catch the rappist and very angry when Lee Tae-Ju hide the ADN results. He trusted the TCI team.

I liked that Yeon-Ho was not stubborn and assimiled every So-Hee's lessons. They make a good team!

Talk about an unsympathetic victim. As horrific as his death was, all I could think was "well, karma be a bitch" and he deserved it.

I don't know if it's a red herring or what but I get the feeling the TCI team leader/captain is the one behind the mailed articles and that murder.

I wonder if the mailed articles were a warning of sorts, like I'm coming after you (to kill you), or was it more "I'm gonna reveal this and you'll never get over it"

I don't get why folks are so dimissive and mocking. I'm sure there is no cop in existence who didn't make a mistake or lose a suspect when they were rookies especially when if they're inexperienced with physical confrontations. Granted, I will admit that was embarrassing and I can see folks having a chuckle over it AFTER some time has passed.

It was so satisfying seeing Yeon Ho's improvement as a cop. I liked how they showed him remembering everything So Hee had taught him and applying it.

A moment that I was taken out of the show was when he was driving because it made me wonder how long ago his accident was and how long do driving licenses last before they have to be renewed haha. Did he keep his license up to date even though he had no plans of driving?

I don't know how I feel or what I think about him being investigated/questioned about the accident. And I'm not sure who cleared him to allow him to keep his job. Was it the guy who was mad someone went in his office to leave the article? Does that make Yeon Ho indebted to him? Wow, if that is the case, it just made me feel icky.

Watching Yeon Ho try to get over the wall was so funny, lol. I appreciate that he is learning and taking instruction well. I also appreciate that So Hee doesn't hold a grudge. She airs her upset, but then moves on, it is up to the individual how they take it.

I like these episodes much better. I love how Min nurtured Yeon Ho's growth.
I am on the camp that Yeon Ho is not entirely at fault with Hyun Soo's death. I can't wait for the culprits and anyone who helped cover it up get their comeuppance.

Although this is a setup I've seen dozens of times before, with the one exception that this is the traffic investigation division, I'm enjoying it. One thing I'm observing is how Lee Min-ki, whose acting I've been ambivalent about in the past (liked him in Liberation Notes, not so much in others) handles the transition from traumatized, seemingly emotionless, and apparently uncaring to becoming a valued member of the team. That's very hard to do--I've not seen too many actors handle this successfully. Either they remain jerks, so you wonder why you should like them, or they suddenly become emotive and caring.

So far, so good, with LMK's character learning from and acknowledging So-hee's assistance, but also not exactly exuding warmth and charm while doing it.

It will be interesting to me to see how much the character opens up to his teammates, while still retaining his astonishing insight (and totally unrealistic, but that's fine--he's a graduate of KAIST, after all!!) into various suspicious car accidents.

I haven't watched ep 5 and 6 yet but it seems they are really good.

Really enjoyed both episodes. My favorite parts were So Hee's words and martial arts training in flashback inspiring and being the reason why Yeon Ho was able to keep driving and how he managed to subdue the suspect. I'm ambivalent about a romantic storyline here, i think i prefer that they remain perfect teammates. Their dynamic is great with her empathetic and straightforward drive and enthusiasm complementing his quiet and awkward but intelligent resolve and i love that he learns things from her and becomes better at his job.

Tae joo is an interesting semi antagonist, very sly weaselish but not one dimensional. Superintendent So had two great moments after an iffy introduction, when he blasted his coworker for ragging on Yeon Ho instead of complimenting him for finding the link and when he instantly trusted So Hee when she told him why the next target was. There's enough bad guys already, even if the tci team is the black sheep of the precinct, it's nice to not have everything be miserable for them and the others just be normal people.

The tci team dynamics are great. The two other characters don't get as much time as the main leads or the captain, but I feel like their smaller moments really flesh them out as real people even without any real focus or backstory.

I was not expecting the death at the end. I couldn't be sure, was the arsonist limping as he stepped away from the car before the dramatic lighter flip. I wonder if it's the dead woman's father.

Thanks for the recap @solstices

I was wondering two things in this episode what has Chief Koo done to deserve that role as he appears to be incompetent. He is constantly chasing after the higher ups but I don’t see how he could gain that position without taking the credit for the successes of the far more competent underlings.

The other thing I wondered about was the way the internal investigation was carried out. Surely Yeonho’s interview would have been done offsite and only certain staff member would have access to staff information. Here the whole team and anyone in the police station seemed able to listen in on the interview and look up the records of Yeonho’s traffic incident.

I think it was poetic justice that the local Superintendent got to take the credit while the men from headquarters who had gone off so triumphantly were left empty handed.

The TCI individual team members bring a skill set that when joined together makes them a highly skilled high performing team and they have a great team dynamic. Yeonho can not continue to be a loner in a team like the TCI, if he shared his insights and they went off together they would get even better results. The TCI are treated like the warm up band at a concert, they always get the cases to a certain point but then in swoops another team to tie up loose ends and that team ends up taking all the credit.

I am really enjoying this drama and I hope they go with good team dynamics rather than a romance.

I am continuing to really enjoy this drama - the cast and character development is what makes it awesome! The TCI team are really starting to gel together so well.

I loved how Chae-man bluntly informs the TCI team that many women don't come forward after they are sexually assaulted/raped due to trying to avoid the secondary trauma of being victim-blamed by the police and the public. It was a short but effective scene. Writer-nim - I salute you for including this bit of awareness-raising.

At the end of the episode where there's the PSA warning Koreans that they should always report a hit-and-run accident that they are in and how those found guilty of hit-and-run could even get jailed for life, I felt that it was a subtle jab by writer-nim when you think about the contrast between the punishment for this crime vs the punishment for rapists (who usually get off with a slap on the wrist or a joke of a jail term).

I really enjoyed these two episodes!! TCI team is absolutely fun and capable. What a great dynamic.
Yeon-ho is really enjoying his job that he wants to improve. It was nice to see him learn to fight and apply those skills on the field. His little smiles are the sweetest!

I really hope its not Captain Jung doing the killing.
