This is a historical set during the early years of the Joseon dynasty and depicts the bloody coup by a prince who became King Taejong (Lee Hyun-wook) and the influence of the queen had on his decisions and reign. The series mainly deals with the iron willed Queen Wongyeong played by Chae Joo-young and depicts her rise to power and the hardships and conflicts she faced. Great acting particularly the queen and an interesting story but I feel it is let down by the flow of the story. The later episodes deal with their beginning which I felt would have been better left at the beginning. Also the plot flow is sometimes slow but I still gave it an 8 as parts of it are superb.
The story as the title suggests looks at the work of the Police, Fire and Medical services. The acting is superb and the plot has many interesting incidents concerning the various teams which as you would expect are all wrapped up and solved. I must admit after two series I was a little tired of the constant heroics of the indestructible lead actors. I think if the had dialled it back a little and spent more time on the bonds between them and their personalities it would have been better. It is still worth a watch and even though it is over the top it reminds us we should be thankful to those people who are in the front line.
The story revolves around traffic accidents and incidents in Korea and the eclectic team that have come together to investigate them. The TCI (Traffic Crime Investigation Team) have to deal with some strange incidents with varying stories but has an incident involving one of the team and a tragic accident from the past involving corrupt police officials runs through it. From the initial opening I thought it was going to be lighthearted but it is not and has dark stories and plenty of spectacular accidents. Well acted all round but the plot has some flat spots but is overall entertaining. I have given 8 stars but if I could it would have been 7.5 stars if I could.
