I started watching this show not having any idea what the format was like or that all the actors were celebrities, and by the time I completed the first episode, I was hooked. This show is amazing because it's partly scripted and partly improvised.
The chemistry between the characters is fun to watch, and as the show goes on the actors start getting more comfortable with one another. Each member brings their unique skill to the team. It's also nice to see that the two women (Min-young and Se-Jeong) on the team carry them through many challenges and puzzles using their smarts and bravery while the men stand on the sidelines. And both of them get their hands dirty to make sure that they get results. Jae-suk leads the team and makes sure that they are on task. Lee Kwang-soo and Jong-Min are the comedic relief but also somehow will solve a solution once in a while that has the team stumped though usually, they do not contribute much to the solving of crimes. Sehun's competitiveness comes out super charming and infectious. He tends to be quiet, but two things seem to get him out of his shell: competition Ans Lee Seung-gi. He's the most mature of this group and the most helpful. You can tell that there are times that he does not want to do something or might be a bit scared, but when he sees that no one else will do the task, he steps up and willingly completes it (He is my favorite character on this show). Detective Ahn is the serious and quiet type and helps them keep things on track. And the new addition, Lee Seung-gi, brings athletics into the group but tends to be a bit more carefree and fun.
The mysteries on the show are like escape room-type puzzles, and some of them are in Korean or Chinese, so they can be difficult to follow while others, can be solved. Most of the mysteries or crimes on the show seem like they are just for that one episode, but in the end, they tie them all together.
The first season's plot was not great. Some of the storylines did not make sense, and you could tell they tried hard to make everything connect. The things that kept me watching were the characters and the challenges that they completed. But the second and third season was amazing. There was a clear plot and mystery solved in the last episode though the ending felt open-ended. Though some episodes were not part of the overall story, there were still elements that connected to a larger plot. This season seemed like a whodunit, and there were clues sprinkled throughout the whole season helping you solve the case. I did not figure out who it was until five seconds before the reveal (not sure that counts) but looking back, there were more than enough clues as to who the killer was from the first episode.
Overall, would highly recommend this show. It's a fun watch that's lighthearted even with all the murder going on you are just detached from it because it looks so fake."
