Woo hoo indeed!!! Can't wait for the return of our testosterone-deficient cop, his grumpy but hunky sidekick and his wonderful ragtag team.

I'm not interested in Remarriage and Desires at all, but damn that poster is fabulous.

And it looks like everyone in the ragtag team is back! I hope Jo Heebong comes back as the police chief and we need his spitfire sister back also. I still remember his phone ID for her, "someone else's sister in the next life" -- ahahahahahaaaaa!

Thank you for helping me finally work out how I have ended up watching dramas that were not a good fit for me, it was the subliminal messaging in the poster. Jinxed at first, impression funny cute romance with low key conflict ❤️ Verses reality when watching first episode 😱

Excited for The Good Detective 2. I just wish Lee Elijah was returning.

I like the poster for Remarriage & Desires. I'm getting a little burnt out on revenge dramas but hopefully, they nail the satire part and everyone looks fabulous.
