Let me preface my review with the fact I’m new to Korean Dramas. This is my second one completed, and I loved the show and everyone who was in it. I read the other reviews, some not liking the romance, some not liking hair styles, and some not liking the ending (valid concern). Because I watch this with subtitles, watching the series only once doesn’t work. I watched this all the way through twice and recommend that to anyone who is watching this with subtitles.
Hae-Jin Park did a superb job as the undercover agent “Kim Seol-woo” and might I add, his facial expressions are priceless, and the very reason to watch it twice. I found his performance funny, touching, and believable. He not only is easy on the eyes but has a fabulous range as an actor. I’ve looked for other shows with him in it, hoping to find the same magic.
Sung-woong Park was wonderful as the second lead “Un-gwang” and made it impossible for me to hate him. At first, he appears as a prima donna but soon shows his heartwarming side and was a perfect foil for the HJP character with their “bromance.”
It doesn’t matter what anyone else says, Min-Jung Kim did a fantastic job as Do-ha. Before you complain about her hair or personality, realize she is the personification of a normal every day woman. I loved that she wasn’t overly made up or her character was a smooth operator. I was able to enjoy her more because she was more like me, a boring normal person. Watching that type of character interact with an entire cast of characters that were so far from normal was fun and a perfect piece of escapist television.
The bad guys were awesomely bad. The good guys were quirky and just enough bad that it is hard to tell who is bad and who is good at times. The side characters are funny, and I was never bored, even the second time through. Here is the spoiler. The last episode was fine until the last five minutes. It just didn’t give me the satisfaction of seeing the story resolved. Its almost as if the writers wanted me to make up my own ending. While my imagination is that expansive, I would have liked to see it play out between the three main characters on the screen instead of in my head.
