Came for KantBison, Stayed for FadelStyle
Basically what I wrote as a comment, but I realize it sounds more like a review.
If you're here for the plot and action... look away. If you love the (good-looking) actors and/or are here for intimate scenes, look no further! For a drama with two hitmen and an ex-undercover cop (and our lovely mechanic), there was no action. It really just felt like a romance drama, with the hidden identity plot serving as conflict for the couples. The "plot" felt somewhat meaningless. Whatever action bits we got were lukewarm and not as exhilarating as I anticipated (especially since the intro to the series was so straightforward and action-packed). Even the "villain" in the drama was predictable and unserious; even down to the last episode it was so.
I have to say, though, FadelStyle just had the better story and relationship. I just liked them more when they were on screen. Maybe it's because I loved how "shameless" Style was and how he wasn't afraid to push Fadel's buttons. On the other hand, Fadel had a cold exterior but melted when it came to Style. Fadel just needed love, trust, and care. He is my favorite character. My favorite FS scene was when Fadel was asking Style to leave him, but his eyes were begging him to stay...
But either way, I enjoyed the drama because I liked the actors. If you would be nitpicking every flaw (which there are a lot of) in the plot, then this is not for you. I feel like I would have easily dropped it in the early episodes if I didn't like the cast. I was just happy to see First on screen again, ngl. I became a new fan of Joong due to this drama. First/Kant and Joong/Fadel scenes had me in a chokehold fr. I could NOT be the only one that saw chemistry in their scenes.
Overall, good drama if it's to your taste 🤷🏻♀️.
