It's been a long time since I've seen something so interesting

The plot makes sense. It is fast paced. It is gritty, dark, suspensful and cruelly truthful about several aspects of its topic. Although it doesn't go too deep, it shows a more realistic aspect than most of its kind in cdramaland.

The characters make sense. Their decisions and mistakes are logical and they are explained through plot points, but the viewer has to pay attention. The script is tight and it assumes we can put two and two together. Thanfully for once, the writers don't assume that the viewers are stupid.

The focus is not on the actors' and actresses' looks, makeup or clothes. The heroes have romantic entanglements and serious problems in their love lives, but we don't waste our time with dating sequences and lover misundrstandings . Only when it makes sense within the storyline.

The actors are very very good. They are experienced and they can act. Even when the director films them from a distance or with weird lighting, they can act with their posture and positioning.
