Crime Puzzle (2021) User Reviews

The story is very interesting

[KlfOpera · 8/10 · 19 December 2021]

It's good guys who aren't so good versus really bad and ruthless members of a cult. There's off putting violence but it moves the story along. The relationships between the characters are interesting and not totally predictable. On the whole it's very well done. But I agree with another reviewer that the chief bad lady is screaming all the time and is very tiresome..

The story is very interesting and intriguing

The story is very interesting from the beginning of the play. That's why I like this play so much. The story is very interesting because even the actors perform very well.

Overall great show with some twists and surprises

[mommyrandm · 9/10 · 20 February 2022]

Overall I enjoyed this show. It took a couple episodes before I could really get into it, but I wanted to watch something different than the typical kdrama or crime show. I will say it was. For me, YKS always does a great job and he really showed his acting skills here. However, I am not sure if it was Too Here's character or GAS that I didn't really care for. Probably the former as I felt her character was weak and a little slow on the uptake for someone who is supposed to be a profiler. That really bothered me. Overall though I would say it is a great watch for something different.

Not Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 3/10 · 1 April 2022]

Korean Drama "Crime Puzzle" is a dark tale of a deep secret.

The drama starts off on a mysterious note, with the main case being introduced. And truly, there were really dark moments, twists, and intriguing scenes as the mystery was unfolded. However, things were bleak after the first episodes. It seemed like things were happening a bit on the overtone in order to bring out the shocking factor rather than aid the plot. In addition, the story kept ending characters, getting more and more complicated and confusing.

On the other hand, the performances were pretty great, especially by the main leads.

So, overall, 3.5 out of 10.

Wasted

[Park_Min · 3/10 · 12 August 2023]

It started off poor with a tacky set up failing to construct a half-assed mystery element, even a thriller one for what it matter. Which broke off the tension right from the beginning. The violent scenes weren't there to contribute to either themes but to be violent for the sake of it. The villains were utterly comical and straight up ruined the drama shamelessly! As if things weren't bad already, they went ahead and turned the whole thing into a cult chase. It's been proven time and time again that cult focused plots have a dangerously high failure rate, yet we've been flooded by these in the recent years. The handful of violent scenes weren't enough to save the drama. Despite all of that, they had the audacity to tease for possible future continuation! What a load of rubbish!

The Plots is bad

[jazzthegreatlegend · 3/10 · 18 June 2023]

I have watched countless korean crime thrillers and sad to say this series in my opinion doesnt deserve the rating it gets.

Warning spoilers: as i said, The plot is no crime puzzle. Its more about drama and how stupid cops can be like getting locked up in a prison for no reason in order to execute some master plan, but it turned out there was no master plan at all, and cops sharing information despite knowing there might be a mole and getting victims killed. Really bad. In my opinion the series portrayed how stupid cops can be when it was supposed to portray exactly the opposite.

Yes had to give this one low rating because of that.

The acting was superb, music was groovy and the theme was original despite the pot and the story being absolute nonsense.
