from what i could gather, seemed like pavel always spoke to him in broken english (like when he was training ml in the woods), also even though he grew up in russia, it still wouldn't be weird if he had broken russian since i am assuming he didn't have a lot of contact with people due to the nature of his dangerous work

Yeah, the mood of the first half of episode 1 was very different from the rest, but I'm glad it changed, I like the color palette and dark atmosphere after Pavel died lol. As for JKY's perfect Korean, I am assuming he was already fluent when Pavel found him because the first scene he was talking to Pavel in fluent Korean and I'm guessing that was the age when he was taken in.

Seems like I am in the minority but I absolutely loved the first two episodes of the drama. The "bad" English accent worked for me because it's not like the characters were acting as Americans, and it seemed realistic. Idk how bad English accent means bad acting lol. The first episode started with a slow pace, but I don't see anything problematic about it either since they needed to warm us up with the backstory and patience doesn't hurt anyone. I think some of us can already predict how the story will go, but as someone said earlier, I really think it's more about the journey. I am IN LOVE with both Jang Ki Yong and Nana's performances, including the other cast. Jang Ki Yong was born to play this role, if I say so myself, he's just so damn attractive and he gives off the perfect soft-looking but strong, silent male lead vibe, and his piercing gaze is so perfect for a sniper role. Nana also totally killing it as Do Hyun Jin, I think she doesn't seem rude to me but more matter-of-fact, and I'm sick of female characters who are supposed to be sweet as angels paired up with tsundere male leads. Again, I am in the minority perhaps but Nana and JKY have impeccable chemistry, their characters are both so mature, SKILLED (I am all about romances where both partners challenge each other, and a bit of chasing and being chased :P), and like twin flames. What I'm mostly drawn to is their quiet lowkey romance (?). I will be fine with whatever the writers decide to do with them, regardless of whether it is romance or not, because these two just work so well off each other's chemistry. I'm not really a fan of "in-your-face" romance and I didn't really feel as much when I was watching Healer, City Hunter or other dramas of the genre, but I TOTALLY dig this, because both characters here are equally mature/skilled/attractive and they have a poised, gentle chemistry (that snow scene was adorable!!!!). Also, I don't get why people are saying Nana's character is annoying/meddlesome when she is literally a cop who is supposed to protect citizens, and her talking with JKY's character shows she's comfortable with him, and if she doesn't talk then who will because he's not much of a talker lol

I mean I just don't see a happy ending for these two, so I braced myself for that since the plot of the story was revealed. So either he is going to die because of her or end up in jail

Oguri Shun as Yozo Ooba is a dream come true! I can't wait for this

The chemistry between the leads is UNREAL I want romance JAEBALLLLL. Also I love the mystery behind the woman in the shadow pulling all the strings and the story in general. This one is already going so strong from episode 1!!!!

I WOULD TOTALLY WATCH THIS JUST FOR THAT POSTER AND CAST. SO MUCH PERFECTION

That poster looks so beautiful and I love the colors! Also I have full faith that Jang Ki Yong would make a perfect killer vet <3

Man, the poster looks so good. Should I give this a try now, or wait until it's over?

Where can I watch with subs?

Oooh are you looking for Taiwanese dramas? I'm just recently getting into them but MARS is a very popular older Taiwanese drama. I also heard Refresh Man (2016) is good. I'm going to watch Meet Me @ 1006 next which is a newer Taiwanese drama from last year. If you're looking for Korean dramas I have some of those too :P

Waiting for his next drama already ;)) He is phenomenal

wow you're a professional binger! lol

you'd think with a whole backup team in hand like that they'd be married with 10 kids by now hahaha

Yeah I'm all caught up too, a lot of people are saying things are going slowly but honestly I wouldn't expect anything else considering the fact this is a 120 episode drama lol

Jin Goo is so immersed in his roles here, and the poster/props look beautiful! I loved the first episode, I'm hooked

Totally agree with you! I'm glad someone else is also enjoying this drama as much as I am. Usually, I have a hard time keeping up with daily dramas because they either end up recycling the same stuff, or characters are acting out of character, or just everyone is doing too many illogical stupid things, but I don't feel that way here at all. Of course, none of the characters are perfect, and some people make awful decisions, but the flow of the storytelling makes me want to continue watching either way. Not to mention, the female lead is one of the most sensible daily drama leads imo, she doesn't take anyone's crap, and tries to make the best use of her situation. I am warming up to the male lead as well, he is weirdly very easy to relate to, and he just wants to help and be a good person, without throwing any pity parties. I do have an issue with the second male lead at times, but honestly, he's not unbearable as of yet and I can brace myself for all the evil stuff the mom is doing because in a weird way she brings the two main leads together :P

It's been 84 years since I've been waiting for subs *dramatically collapses*

Yeah everyones different but there are morons who rate dramas before even watching the whole thing or giving a drama less than a 4 because it isnt what theyre looking for. I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion, but its rude to rate something as horrible because you can. Not that everyone who finds this drama boring is a moron, just people who give mediocre ratings just for the heck of it lol
