This was my second attempt at watching this show and I can't say it was a success, the first time I stopped around the second episode, and the second time I just couldn't stand watching it so I finished it by reading episode recaps. At first I was really excited about this drama and the general plot, what with it being a spy drama and I was expecting lots of action and suspense (with of course romance) but the drama wasn't really what I expected. The Story : at the beginning it felt like it wasn't going anywhere, which is why the first time I tried watching this I stopped because it was making me feel uncomfortable what with the excessive comedy (which is not really my thing). But then since I really wanted to try watching it whole because the plot seemed so promising I started again. I started getting interested during episode three, since the plot thickened. But around episode 8 to 10 I was relying more and more on recaps to relieve my frustration of the slow pace of this drama. It had unnecessary scenes that dragged on waaaay too long while only getting to the point at the very end of the scene (I just skipped forward). And not to mention the fact that the person watching knows very early on everything there is to know about the plot and just watches the characters scrambling around trying to find the answers, and you're basically yelling at them through your screen even though you perfectly know they can't hear you. From episode 10 I decided to finish the story with recaps, and could not be-lieve the turn out this drama had. I thought if the drama had a good ending I could probably be more motivated to watch it over, but NO! it convinced me I did not want to watch it ever again. As much as I love Joo Won and his adorable character, I could not bear the slow pace and unreasonable plot and ending. Furthermore, Choi Kang Hee's character was annoying, I did not like her, and I could not feel any sympathy for her by the end of the drama, I couldn't stand her character. No offense to her specifically, but the way the character was painted just wasn't for me. So overall the story was okay-ish, with a rather slow progression and barely any ups and downs (if any) and a very dissatisfying ending (for me at least). The cast : the acting... was okay, though I don't know whether the awkwardness I felt was due to the actors's lack of chemistry or bad acting or a bad plot, or if it was meant to be that way, but I just didn't feel moved by the characters (either blame the acting or the plot, you choose). I don't know whether the acting was bad, though Joo Won's rendition of his character was cute at times (kind of stupid at others), I didn't feel very comfortable watching the couple, except for a few cute moments. I have a few issues with Choi Kang Hee, again not sure whether it's the acting or the character since I never saw her in any other drama. Overall the acting was okay, a few pluses but that's it. Didn't pay much attention to the rest of the cast. The music : it was nice, not very moving either, didn't grab me in any way (maybe because I didn't watch to the end, I don't know), I didn't end up replaying it again and again after hearing it (which I usually do when I like it). Rewatch value... you already know what I think, I wouldn't want to watch it again, I want to spare myself any more angst and frustration watching these characters go about in random directions. Overall, a 6, as much as I would have liked to give it more, it is as high as I can go. I wouldn't recommend this unless you like cute rom-com that doesn't have much plot to it.
