She's Got Some Things to Figure Out and You are Along for the Ride
Rating: 10/10
I wasn't sure about this one when I first read the synopsis. It sounded a little vague, and I wasn't sure what to expect. Now that I've watched it, I understand why! Ji-an (Jeong Ji-an) doesn't know what's going on either, so we're discovering the truth right alongside her.
I loved the way the story unfolds through her perspective while gradually giving us more insight into Jin-man (Jeong Jin-man) through flashbacks. I'm not usually a fan of lots of flashbacks, but they work here. I especially liked when we saw an event from Ji-an's perspective and then got to revisit it briefly from Jin-man's. Those little changes in perspective added so much to the story.
The action was fantastic! I'm a big fan of action movies, so that definitely influenced my rating. There are moments that remind me of Mission: Impossible, Rambo, and even The Terminator. It's hard to compare it to just one thing because it blends so many elements together.
Lee Dong-wook and Kim Hye-jun were excellent. Jin-man is such an intriguing character, and I loved learning more about him. Ji-an can be frustrating at times (there were definitely moments when I wanted to yell, "Just shoot him already!"), but she's also a young woman thrown into an unimaginable situation. Most people wouldn't find it easy to pull the trigger, so I can understand her hesitation.
I loved this drama enough that I would happily watch it again. I'm sure I missed things the first time around, and knowing more about the story would make a rewatch interesting.
It's definitely not for everyone. There's plenty of violence, blood, and gore, and it's not the drama to choose if you're looking for a strong romance or something lighthearted. But if you love action thrillers, mystery, suspense, and interesting characters, I highly recommend it!
I was also VERY happy that Jin-man wasn't really dead. I had been hoping for that the entire time! The ending would have frustrated me if I'd had to wait for the next season, so I'm glad I can go straight into Season 2.
10/10 from me! Great action, great acting, an intriguing story, and a rewatch definitely on the cards.
