I can’t help but make comparisons to City Hunter, but while it shares many similarities, it does seem to have a slightly more complex background story and a larger social message to spread.
In terms of story, I would have to wrack my brain to find any flaws in it. When the storyline in your typical thriller would start dropping at episode 10, this drama just keeps going. The pacing never fails. Where you would expect cracks to emerge in the main couple’s relationship, the writer instead takes the opportunity to show the audience that this is a couple to get behind and cheer on.
Admittedly, up till about episode 10, I didn't actually love the show that much, but thankfully the story picked up and pushed through to reach the pace and excitement that this show promised.
So many delightful characters and relationships in this show that are well-developed and evolve through the show. Because I don’t want to spoil it, I can’t reveal my favourite relationship that moved me the most. But my favourite character is Moon-ho, played by Yoo Ji Tae. I don’t know how much credit goes to the writer and how much goes to the actor, but I do love Yoo Ji Tae’s charisma, which just shines off my computer screen.
Yoo Ji-tae is just perfect in this show - perfectly cast and played the role so well. Park Min-young seems to excel at everywoman roles.
It’s a pity that a better actor was not cast for the role of Moon-shik, who would otherwise be a worthy adversary to Moon-ho. The actor cast in this case was pretty stone-faced and wasn’t very menacing for a villain. In any case, Moon-shik is a pretty fascinating character.
All in all, a freaking exciting show to watch.
