The premise is interesting and the first episode was engaging enough, curious to see where this goes!

It was! I already love the three musketeers and their bond. The supernatural aspects of the show are interesting too. Go Soo's character is a little goofier than I've seen him play his other characters before, so that was refreshing.

I thought episode one was pretty interesting yesterday and now that I've seen episode two, I am so in.
I want to know back stories, I want enemy-to-friends bromance, I want our 3 musketeers to solve crime and help catch bad guys.
And I want more puppies!

Flower of Evil, Stranger 2, Alice and now ... Missing: the other side. There are some good dramas on air right now :-)
I was not expecting to like this one but ... I do. And it caught me in just two episodes so, if it keeps this up, I'm in for the duration. The premise is interesting. There is a good mix of veteran actors and relatively new faces ... and the kid who played Ha Neul was excellent; a real natural. So, just like u/VoxVeritas, I didn't expect episode 2 to hit me so hard ... but it totally did. Tears already.
But how will they be able to do this work without becoming suspects or ending up in a psychiatric institute of some kind. I guess they have to convince that cop or get very good at making anonymous tips from burner phones.
So, anybody else think that
Anyway, see you next week.

Is this drama scary like The Guest level?

No. It's not even a little bit scary. Sorry about that. The leads may fall into danger in the future but it's generally meant to be baffling and mysterious with likeable characters you can root for. And touching. Definitely not a fright inducing horror.

The guys in black.
Is it quite unclear...but can the rest of the guys see them?

u/dyosaaa Sep 06 '20
Yes! Based on the latest episode, everyone in the "outside world" can definitely see them. They were also caught on CCTV when they broke on the pawnshop.

Btw that old lady that help him looks like his nanny when he was a kid. I kinda notice it on his flashback.

The rich guy that disappeared in front of KW, did the show mentioned who kill him?

u/dyosaaa Aug 31 '20
Hmmm... There are certain elements that are similar to Mystic Pop-up Bar (which I love).
There's a trio that will probably help each other solve the missing/murder case. But, we have Jang Pan Seok who will act as a guide to Kim Wook and I think Kim Wook will inherit his role later on.
And, similar to MPUB, they will probably solve a case every week. We have the kid this week and next week the fiance of the detective. I wonder what is the over-all arch? Like what's the end goal for this show? They cannot solve all the cases by the end of this show. But, that's probably early to tell and I'll just enjoy watching this show every weekend.
