Even the Long Litany of "serial killers & villians" in this series couldn't make it interesting.

Haha. This series had so many actors that usually play serial killers or villains it kind of made me wonder if the producers purposely cast these actors because of the roles they usually play. That said, though I’ve only seen the lead actor in roles where he’s a psycho, I thought he was really good in this. In the few episodes I watched I thought he did an excellent job playing a romantic lead - Very good actor. However, the casting was all wrong for this series. Both the leads probably could've worked in this show if a different actor or actress was cast to play their love interest. Unfortunately, KYK and CSB were cast to play each other's love interests and it just didn't work. They had no chemistry, and he looked way too old for her. Really the age gap would not have been an issue if they actually had spark but they didn't.

Honestly I don't care how much Baek Ho-rang (the ML character) eventually found the FL appealing and subsequently, fell in love with her. It just wasn’t believable that they would ever work because their lives and personalities were too different. Their only connection was his heart issue and her ability to "charge" him up. Other than that there was nothing between them.

I actually thought she had spark with the SML. They made way more sense - their lives and personalities matched,. They appeared to be around the same age. They looked really good together and their interactions had so much potential.

I really wanted to like this because I like nearly all the actors who were cast, especially the leads and some of the actors who played supporting characters. But with the leads not having chemistry and the story being boring, it just couldn't hold my interest.
