Although it is a typical story of saved-by-a-mobster, it has a story to tell of its own. The shortness of the duration keeps you upbeat with the plot and will not make it boring. Also, given that most KBLs are either frozen, angle-changing, ultra-conservative kisses; this one defies it all like the 2008 Korean movie "A Frozen Flower". Even so, from outside of their culture perspective, it is not considered as vulgar. It was made carefully to wield the plot and adds intensity of the clashing story.

As said, the story is quite typical clashing mafia groups, but not too obvious where still you can think of what will happen next. Yet, it still discusses the issue of family, loyalty, and a touch of humanity. Whether humans are tools and commodity or can be treated as with emotion and belongingness. And as for their relationship, from betrayal to forgiveness and love conquers all.

The cast, although I'm not really into actors, I did find them into each other. The main leads I mean. This adds the tension of the plot because they fall for each other but they are on the opposite sides. I also like the contrast of the two clashing leaders. One portrays consideration while the other is full of vengeance and retribution. It could gain respect that even if "wild leopard" is a mob leader, he did not care about the relationship of "flying dagger" and "wild dog". Unlike "wild rose", he felt betrayed when one found love and wants to stop.

The music is quite superb. Although again, I'm opt for the story, the music adds emotion to the plot. Especially on the fighting scenes including the part as they fight knife with a knife. The music and sound adds tension to the emotion.

Re-watch value. It can be recommended. Maybe this is the positive of making the series short. The story and acting is good, and it is light and easy. You can get away of boring, unrealistic, uni/school-type BL stories without taking much of your time.

Overall, the story is still kept hanging whether someone is still alive and seeking vengeance towards them; or will he continue his novels? But for the very least, the MLs are together with their true love; and the other ML now find new family that loves him. I admit, part of re-watch value are their passionate and intimate moments. lol.
