I know I’m late to this, but I at least wanted to put a review up here for somebody who might be considering it because they are new to K drama like me. I was not planning to watch this, I am more a fan of romance, I don’t usually do things that are considered action or thriller, and I didn’t know these actors. I am so glad I took the chance. This is brilliant. The only reason that I gave it a 9.5 on story is because I really felt the last two episodes were rushed and did not fit with the rest of the series. They could have ended it much better and I’m not sure what that was about, but it was a little bit disappointing. It takes nothing away from the actors who were wonderful and a joy to watch. there were some episodes that I literally think I didn’t physically move for the entire hour, it was that compelling. I have to call out Ji Chang-wook because he is unbelievable in this, his Clark Kent/Superman thing was spot on and this being the first thing I have seen him, I am looking forward to the next show that features him. He is fantastic. It’s a great story, it follows a lot of the tropes that K drama is used, but in a good way and in an exciting way, and in a way that you fall in love with the characters and the story rather quickly. Really really glad I watched this absolutely plan to rewatch one day.
