Notes

• Each night's broadcast is divided into two 30 minute episodes with a commercial break in between.
• The writer Min Ji Eun consulted her husband who is working in forensic for both seasons and the scriptline from drama "소설 쓰지마라" (literal translation: Don't write a novel) was inspired from him. Source
• Initially, the two main leads were drafted as the opposite gender (male prosecutor and female forensic doctor) but later the production team decided to swap the gender. Source
