As a result, most of the character’s unwise decisions, as well as his role in major confrontations, caused a surge of anger among viewers who are outraged that an officer is portrayed as stupid and can be easily deceived.
According to critics, the role is built primarily on triviality. Viewer feedback from a global audience mostly discusses the lack of nuance in the portrayal of this hero, However, Jo Eun-sol himself was able to dispel the drama on this issue and earned a special rating for himself.

Such a positive assessment was obtained among the public for the episode in which Officer Kim discovers a key recording instrument that completely reveals the manipulative actions of Sung-ah.
The buzz around the musical star, The Frog, continues, and after the show, Jo’s skill in infusing depth into his characters, even in controversial projects, remains the center of attention in the Korean film and show industry.
The singer made his acting debut in the musical When a Man Loves in 2013 and has since played in such films and series as Mine and Missing 2.
