I'm on episode 4 and I have a couple of questions. First, how much romance does it have? And, will Gong Hye Won…
Not too much romance thank goodness just some longing stares (which I would always fast-forward) As for Gong Hye Won, I will say this, she did get less annoying.

However, in my humble opinion, the writer has royally screwed up most if not all characters, and I personally find it difficult to tolerate, let alone like Hye Won, the police chief, his second in command, and ugh even Jamie (who was my favourite T-T) Are well-rounded and well-written female characters too much to ask for? :(
The optimist in me really hopes it's someone we haven't met yet because I don't think any of our main characters thus far have it in them to harm someone like this, and it would probably be too obvious.
The pessimist in me thinks it's actually one of the people we see right now, it could be the other fashion designer who seems to always appear at bad times for Rin, or it could be Primrose the actress who (it appears) is slowly coming to reveal her (as of yet unclear) intentions regarding Tan.
The crazy action-suspense-thriller lover within me thinks it's Rung, who's faking her coma and is out for revenge against the one who plagiarized her work. It would also make sense for her to know all the little details about Tan's past. Maybe I should stop watching too many mystery dramas. xD
Lee Su Ji is brilliant in this web-series even though she is young and has relatively little acting experience. Hats off keeping up with the man himself, Lee Soo Hyuk!
Watch Knowing Bros episode 260. Ji Chang Wook is literally playing himself in this drama! No wonder I felt there was more to it than just him acting lol. Good for him I guess? Also a little sad xD
This keeps getting better! Our team of losers finally grasped some of the gravity of the situation and the larger conspiracy they're involved in. It's a long uphill journey for them to evolve and learn from their mistakes while struggling to survive amid their banter (can't get enough of this), and I'm going to be here for all of it! It's been a while since dramaland put out a sageuk like this. xD
For those who say the script is bad, I would love to know exactly what makes it bad, and why they feel that way. Sure, you can criticize the production quality of the drama [though a) this is coming from a public broadcasting channel, and b) it's substance over style] but what exactly was it about the first three episodes that makes one think the "script" is inherently bad? To me it just seems that lately, any drama trying something unexpected (like Lovestruck In the City with its mockumentary setup, and Secret Royal Inspector, a fusion sageuk, similar to the Hong sisters', Hong Gil Dong) will get hate just for the sake of it.
This is off topic but can any Monbebes here confirm if it is indeed Kihyun's voice in the OST that plays in the end? I've been looking for it for ages but it seems it's unreleased as of yet.
Can we talk about Jae Woong for a hot second? This turnover (not that we didn't see it coming) was insanely cool (and hot xD) I am so excited to see someone at least letting their powers really go wild. Jae Woong honey you go do your badassery and show everyone they were wrong underestimating you, both as a child and as an adult. Aaaaahhhhh I can't wait for the next episode.
I'm in love with the leads, the cinematography, the music and the production! The story might be something we've all seen before but it's presented so beautifully that you cannot help but gush at every small thing. I've never watched any of the leads' previous works before but they carry so much depth in their micro-expressions, the chemistry is impeccable, and they're both absolutely gorgeous visuals to top it all off! What a delight!
I feel you Hye Won. My faith in this drama has crumbled and being one of its watchers is no longer something I'm proud of.
As for Gong Hye Won, I will say this, she did get less annoying.
