Mediocrity saved by the chemistry and star power

If u put two hottest and popular star in one project then it should blast like atom bomb. But did it blast like atom bomb? Big No. If u see the series then it can be feel that it is inspired by Mr and Mrs Smith and House of cards. If u see genre of this series it says thriller, mystery and romance but neither its thrilling nor mysterious except short romance. Yeah chemistry, acting, kiss scene were insane but story was too weak. It was very predictable. Within 10 mins u can guess what will happen and who is the main villain. Mediocre Korean version of mr and mrs smith with some changes. Yes kang dong won is insanely popular for action movies but he rarely appears in series, and we all know jun ji hyun is one of most versatile actress in korea, whether u see her romantic movie or action u can see that this lady so clever coz she knows how to choose script. But this time story was very flat and this series is saved by the star power of main lead. Direction, VFX, were good. So i can give 10/10 only because of chemistry, star power and acting. Obviously can they can be dubbed as Brangelina on the screen. I hope to see them in romantic series but i don't we will ever get to see kang dong won in romantic series. Anyway if u r fan of the star then u can watch it otherwise there is nothing to see.
