Because this show kept my interest its entire run. The character development of EVERYBODY, including the villains, really caught my attention - well-rounded portrayals rather than cookie-cutter stereotypes and 1 dimensional figures. Plus I wasn't sure about who was on which side for a lot of it. So I fail completely to understand those who found it boring.
I suggest that people pay no attention to the naysayers & check out the drama for themselves - it's NOT boring, but has some thoughtful character studies instead of nonstop action, which of course does lose the interest of those with the attention span of gnats...
Fun thing - I'm retired US Navy - I've BEEN to Thailand FOR COBRA Gold :D It wouldn't have been in Phuket but in a nearby Thai military base (ours was in Surit Thani which was near Ko Samui (island resort on the OTHER side of the peninsula). I was the Yeoman for a SEAL team LOL Sadly, I saw NO one who came close to looking like our leads in this ~sob~ from SK, Thailand or the US - although the radio operator who stood graveyard shift w/me in the air conditioned computer room was very hot indeed LOL He was from Iowa tho....& engaged. & even tho I was considerably younger than now, he was STILL too young for me LOL
Just a masterpiece. This belongs in a very select group of Korean dramas that are as good or better than ANYTHING I've ever watched. Just amazing acting, writing, directing, producing - sooo freaking good!!!!!
Too early to say this but I'm not impressed by the cast acting skills, Kim Bum is the only one standing out.
Wow - so I'm aggressive because I disagree with your extremely inaccurate & demeaning comment? Hey, if you are going to say things like that, be ready to suffer the consequences, honey.
