The veterans delivered!
I went into this drama for Jun Ji Hyun!
I would watch anything she's in and I was not disappointed.
Another selling point for this drama was the director, Kim Hee Won, whose notable works include; Little Women, Vincenzo, Soundtrack #1, and so on. I've come to expect greatness from her and she delivered yet another masterpiece.
I loved everything about this drama; the story, the setting, the themes, the cast, the director, the technical aspects, everything! The acting is the strongest aspect of this drama, I was thrilled by brilliance. And this is why talent level should always match up!
-Seo Munju (played by the goddess, Jun Ji Hyun) is a wonderfully written character. Her strength, resilience and power were never downplayed. She was shown in all of her glory and I loved it!
-Paik Sanho (Gang Dong Won, thank you for coming back to dramaland for this drama) complimented her perfectly! His devotion and dedication to her deserve a separate post. I love me a downbad man.
-Lim OK Seon was definitely the most intriguing character and Lee Mi Seok was amazing playing her. Her motivations were not cliché and were compelling. Women villains >>>>>
-Other characters of note; President Chae Kyung Sin (played by Kim Hae Sook), Yoon Un Hak (Yoo Jae Myung), Kang Hanna (Won Ji An), and several others. The supporting cast brought their A games. The cast was made up of veterans and they all delivered a masterclass in acting!
This drama gave us storytelling at its peak! And it's all thanks to the actors but also the genius that is Kim Hee Won as well as the screenwriter.
The screenwriter is none other than the brilliant, Jeong Seo Kyeong who wrote Mother and co-wrote the movies The Handmaiden and Decision to Leave.
The cinematography is also stunning and conveys the emotions of the drama perfectly.
This is a drama everyone should watch!
FYI:A woman-led, women-centric action spy thriller did that! And you should never forget it!
