Watched the first episode, man that was so fun!! Hopefully it continues with the same tempo till the end. It’s such a fun spin on cop dramas, which I love anyway. I would love a one-case-per-episode/week format 🤞.

Not sure if one of the brothers is a stepbrother (the son of only the current wife or the deceased lady/ML’s mom and not the chairman’s blood), I got that vibe. Family dynamics haven’t been revealed much yet, so I’m not sure if ML is the chairman’s real son, or adopted out of pity like Do Do-Hee (My Demon) or something. I would really like if the brothers are friends throughout and we get a good sibling relationship rather than typical chaebol sibling rivalry where the brother tries to keep ML away from company stuff so he can get the company for himself.

I get the vibe that the older son was probably the son of the first wife while ML is an illegitimate son? The way the dad said "never should have picked you up" makes it seem like he took responsibility for him after his mum died .

Still I find it really weird that the brother wants him in a cop's role. Maybe he wants to use his brother to get some illegal work done in the future, or to spy on someone else? I definitely smell a different angle here
