Gonna watch this, for sure. The posters look really good and what else can I say, I am always up for psychological thrillers.

i eagerly await

I'm ready for it!

It's OCN - of course I'll watch it.

The poster look so cool. So basically they will become a team to fight corruption and doing investigation. Either they team up from the get go and let the flasback or exposition tell a story behind it, or they team up unconditionally due to one case and the build upbof their relationship start from there.

Either way, I can't wait to watch it. Since the concept seems so cool and I used to check the first 2 episode my bias drama. Lol

Yup

Fingers crossed that it will be available subbed.

Love OCN but not gonna watch this!

Love the casts..

Great cast! July 6th can't come soon enough.

Watched ep. 1 today and am definitely drawn into the mystery of Yeong-goon's parents. I wonder if Yeong-goon already suspects our pair of bad cops were behind it. I sure do.

Afterwards I realized how much children were drawn into this sinister world: young Yeong-goon, who witnessed a murder; Ah-reum, hiding in the bathtub; the boy who was kidnapped; and Detective Jang/Bad Cop #1's own daughter, reading with him in bed. It's unsettling to see them all exposed in one way or another.

So Jang Hae Ryong's now-dead minion kidnapped and abused Han Tae Joo?

I'm sure JHR is also behind Yeong-goon's tragedy. It's just a little too convenient that YG is now on a team with the his father's former colleague/arresting officer and the woman who prosecuted the case, and that their target is responsible for all their personal tragedies.

@zzthorn @linda-palapala @kurama If you want to talk more about Watcher eps. 1 and 2, here's one place we could do that.

@lindag, latebloomer,
Thanks for hijacking rather scouting out this place for WATCHER fans. This is my comment at the Premier watch post after watching the first two episodes.

It does not appear that WATCHER will be recapped so this may be the place for fans to discuss episodes.
Warning! Possible Spoilers!
Yesterday I watched the first 2 episodes. Some random thoughts:
1. I loved what I saw. OCN has come through again with an intriguing, gritty crime drama;
2. Before getting to Seo Kang-joon, I want to reference two other actors. Heo Sung-tae (portraying Chief Jang Hae-ryong) is cornering the market for playing bad guys/heavies. Already he gives me the creeps and I expect more from him. Lee Jae-yoon gave a fine (cameo) performance as corrupt Det. Kim Kang-wook.
Like Lee Joon-gi, LJY is a student of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In his several fight scenes his athletic ability was obvious in his physicality. The LJY-SKJ fight scenes were excellent. SKJ is obviously also in great shape;
3. All three leads nicely established their characters. I know it is early days but in two episodes we know all three leads are wounded but have backbones; and
4. Seo Kang-joon is a major reason I am watching and I think he is terrific as Officer Kim Young-koon. I am looking forward to the next episodes.

Obviously, here is a better place for fans to discuss episodes.

another 'Watcher' watcher here!
loving it so far. 2 episodes down.

Watcher:
Finally caught up with the first two episodes and love it!! I love a good mystery/thriller and this show promises to be one. It felt like too many characters were being introduced, all of them in a grey murky zone. But by the end of second episode things got a bit clear. Still a lot of grey to keep us guessing. I hope they can keep up this pace for 14 more episodes.

I watched ep. 3 last night. I have mixed feelings about it. SPOILERS AHEAD. I think the organ trafficking plot is a little contrived, and the idea that the big boss would show up to track down a missing "donor," prepared to kill to get her back, is a little far-fetched. Surely someone who was smart enough to survive in that business for so long without getting caught has minions that he can send instead of going himself.

I'm also intrigued that somehow this organ trafficking plot somehow connects to the personal attack on HTJ back then. How does she know that Prosecutor Lee knows who did it? And what's with him? Is he playing both sides against the middle? One thing is for sure, when he said that he would tell her when this case was over, I was sure that would not happen, probably because he would get killed and take that secret with him.

What experienced cop would set up an operation like this when an unreliable witness could destroy it with a few words?

OK, I'm finding this a little hard to swallow. Here we are just six eps in and we are supposed to suspect that our hero is actually the villain behind everyone's crime? This has got to be a red herring. We saw Detective Do frame and abuse suspects this episode, but why would we believe he murdered Kim Young-goon's mother? Especially after seeing him in the phone booth, and then discovered Young-goon cowering in the bath tub? And then we're supposed to believe he dressed up with a hood and a Darth Vader voice-thingy and threatened to chop people's fingers off just to cover his tracks? Was the brutal cop who got killed in ep. 2 supposed to be his disciple? It's just not credible, and the timing is all wrong. I'm a little disappointed, show, that you think I'd fall for that.

I still don't think Det. Do is the murderer but he definitely framed YK's father (maybe to avenge his superior's murder/disappearance). I think they mentioned it but there is a chance we're looking for multiple culprits at least the serial killer and the one calling the shots and a slew of corrupt cops (while writing this it made me think of L A Confidential I may be reaching but I don't know I liked the idea)

Although Jae Myung death wasn't shocking I still held out hope he wouldn't die, couldn't they give us at least one more episode of father and son getting to know each other again and bonding, it was so heartbreaking when he opened the door 😭😭

I can't believe I have to wait for next week I want all the episodes now.

I'm glad that the suspicions around Det. Do have been cleared at least in regards to his involvement in the murder of YK parents, right now our trio needs to start working together espically since now they'll know there is a spy among them.
It was obvious from the beginning Soo Yeon was working for someone, now we need to know if that someone is good or bad, I really hope she's one of the good guys I don't want for our little team to break up.

I'm glad I didn't quit watching at ep. 8, because eps. 9 and 10 have turned the possibilities upside down again. Since DCG admitted tampering with the jacket and since we learned how he set up the "murder" of Ms. Baek, he seems to have cleared himself as the murderer -- although that hasn't changed KYG's current memories of the first murder. Although Det. Jang is dirty in many ways, I'm beginning to doubt that he is the murderer either. I'm leaning toward Dep. Comm. Park, but I wouldn't rule out the commissioner. Only we don't know what her position was 15 years ago, and it seems unlikely that she would be snipping people's thumbs off. Park is ruthless enough to do that, but was he strong enough?

ep. 11 -- I have the feeling that Turtle is a woman. That can't be the commissioner running around murdering people, can it? Dep. Comm. Park is also the right size to be Turtle. Det. Jang is too tall. Det. Do has an alibi. Who's left who has been around for 15 years, is the right size, has enough strength?

ep 12 - I think the show is setting us up for an ending where Han TJ is fatally wounded by Turtle, but also manages to wound him/her fatally. She will die satisfied that she finally tracked down the person who ruined her life and inflicted her revenge. (What a sad way to go!) But Do CG and Kim YG will still have to arrest the mastermind. I'm not convinced that that isn't the commissioner, but then she was not old enough to be the murderer 15 years ago, right?

Did you get the feeling that Dep. Comm. Park's visit to the team office was a warning to Do CG that he can let it go or he will be the next target?
