Watch while you're folding clothes

I wanted to like this drama as I've enjoyed the projects FL Hannah Lu has been in...became her fan from Falling Before Fireworks and her subsequent rom coms were lightweight enjoyable...but this...started with intriguing opening and then got rather redundantly dull. It proceeds like the ultimate in stretching out the premise of the story to achieve 30 minute 24 episode "regular" drama format when it likely would have been fine as a 15 min 20 eps mini. I mean, how many times must we be reminded of why the ML has latched on to her but she doesn't seem to know, or why the spies repeatedly state that they will die if they fail their mission (which is not clear). And the 'villains' are buffoons.

So if you have nothing else to watch (it was still more watchable than Rebirth (which I've refrained from ranting my disappointment in the production and storyline--- many others have already commented) during the same airing period-- this drama can fill your viewing space/time. There are minis with far more substance.
