Interesting Plot

I think the success of a drama has a lot to do with the time its aired.
Rondo, is the kind of drama that might not fit the standards of the new watcher. The camera work, the development of the story... some dramas are never outdated, but others might seem less interesting because of the way its directed and such.
I personally love suspense/crime/romance dramas. It is my preference above comedy and melodrama. I love the world of undercover cops/agents, mafia men, spies.
This drama is the right one for me, although the style of the camera is a bit annoying at times because the director seems to be obsess with slow motion shooting and the swirling... yep, makes me dizzy. But I won't let this stop me. The story is extremely interesting, and the actors are some of the best of both worlds (Korea and Japan). No complaints there ;)

Wow...

This is a pretty cool drama so far. The first episode is an hour and a half long but so worth it. Already the plot is incredibly suspenseful and intriguing. The love story already glimmering under the surface. The language barrier of the two leads enticing and cute. The seething underbelly of the lead male's undercover world is dark and ominous. Loving this!

But OMO!!! The subs are bad. If this drama wasn't so awesome... But I am sticking with it!
