It is one of few chinese dramas where I wasn't bored to death with the second part of the story. With approximately 50 ep long dramas it usually starts to get bad from about 15 ep and then it is dragging, or never ending circle damsel in distress as for example The princess Wei Young. Even though I was forwarding, it still managed to hold my interest how every character will develop and to see the final confrontation. I thing it would be even better if she killed herself in front of him to be the only thing he can never achieve.

Why did our "evil" character Lee Yu Beom kill Mr. Choi? The whole drama was about how he did things for his own benefit, but here? It was just plain stupid in order for happy end not to feel so pinky fluffy.

Many plot holes, some of the annoying characters (half of the team), not enough evil-vibe antagonist, but comparing to other dramas this one held my attention until the end. You know, with some shows from certain episode you start to forward or get bored. Here, I was interested if main lead succumb to the temptation or not. It was pity there was a little space for us to see how main leads struggle psychologically with their job, to see some development in their characters. For me, they seemed too flat which was caused - I would say - by script writing, not playing.

Beautifully chosen music accompanying the dark feeling of the series. Skillfully performed although I found Chen Ruo a bit lacking. I could feel he is beginner in acting. Some may compare it to Love me if you dare, but I would say the main difference is this series is not for main stream, lacking all the cutesy, pink and iPhones/Audi cars and of course missing Huo Wallace who always needs to look cool.
