Good story, but there aint no glory in splitting it in two

I do not know how much glory there is in here yet, but there is a superwoman who is obsessed with revenge (for good reason), and a whole lot of people who will indeed help you loose all hope in humanity and very few people to restore that faith.

The drama offers us a whole bunch of good lines, decent acing a good OST and a whole lot of chemistry... and tension. But do not for a second think this is a romance, nor expect a of of screen time for Lee Do Hyun as it is very clear that the main character of this drama are Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo) and Park Yeon Jin ( Im Ji Yeol the rest are just there to support them. Some characters were more well written than other but in general this is a good drama with good acting and people who know what they are doing. There is also a lot of attention to detail, and scenes that may put you off frying, bbq... Or basically anything that cooks meat...

Our heroine gives off a calm patient vibe, with great build up making me wonder what she has in store for these people. She is smart, focused and most definitely has a master plan, or so we hope. And would rather share her time with an executioner rather than looking for a prince. And though all she has in her mind is revenge it is hard not to fall for her, as she has a lot of charm to accompany the empty slightly evil calculating look in her eyes.

The drama is also highly binge-able and ands with a cliffhanger, which bothers me quite a bit, as I honestly can not see any reason other than annoy the audience to split this drama in half. As I may only have a few days till next season, but had I watched it at time there would be a risk that I would have forgotten or lost intrest with time, which is a shame since it is a really good drama. It may not offer a lot new to the table but it is still a good drama, just slaughtered to be split in two halves.. But I am not bitter... not at all..
