Rewatched and it’s so, so good! Incredibly acted, tragic, heartbreaking but so good. Kim Sung Kyu needs to be in more dramas. Kim Dong Wook was great as always. 9/10
A drama rooted in reality but not realistic at all; quite the paradox. Admirable in its message though it relays it in a fairly superficial, binary way. Obviously it’s not a romance drama and it would have been even better if there was none at all; it’s the weakest part and the main romance was pretty flat, though I will admit the one with the other twin was surprisingly effective and well executed because it was more low key. I think the 2021 drama “Lost” handles similar themes much more poignantly and compellingly.
Honestly pretty tepid and subdued for how high profile the two leads are. It’s simply fine; once can’t help but feel this would have been better suited as a cable drama instead of streaming and we got 12 episodes instead. The chemistry is there but the story moves too quickly and the character development is limited. I’d give it a 7.5/10
I liked it though the flaws are really apparent. A mismatch of genres and a rather underdeveloped thriller plot but entertaining nonetheless. The romance was fine but could have been better developed and more emotional. Worth watching once.
You know Park Sunghoon was initially meant to be the ML in Happiness before he dropped out; it would be a full circle if they get paired here. I also think Lee Jun Hyuk would be a great ML.
It’s really good so far; I especially like the second couple pairing. Hopefully more people rate it higher for its quality rather than personal feelings towards the actor.
It was enjoyable but a bit bland and lacked that spark you know. Solid but I’m afraid not very memorable. The chemistry between the leads is great but the story is flat; still worth watching though.
It was really good. NGM continues to be a reliable/consistent leading man and wow, JYB was excellent here as the FL. It’s a downer but still engrossing and it’s so well shot. Only negative I have which is minor is that the ML’s wardrobe was ridiculously over the top; no way a film director dresses like that everyday, especially on the beach.
It was cute if not too drawn out. Leads had excellent chemistry but story was thin. Solid 8/10. Love the FL actress and the ML was really good as well.
The Bodyguard romance plot will always be a big W for me lol. I just love it!! This drama is giving me what I wanted from Blood Free. I hope they stick the landing
