I was looking forward to this drama mainly because of Jang Hyuk. I'm a fan of this great amazing actor. I believe he is the greatest Korean actor. I appreciate his maturity that he brings to the table with every role he plays. From Fated to Love You, Money Flower (which in my opinion catalputed him to be the best Kdrama actor of modern times) and now Beautiful Mind. I know I'm in for a nice treat as I go along with the drama episodes HOWEVER with first few episodes Park So Dam dampen my mood terribly with her irritating, immature, dumb, irrational demeanor not to mention her screechy voice modulation. Few questions come to mind; is she a detective or a traffic cop. Earlier episodes showed her moving in and out of the hospital restricted areas (OR, Conference Room, MD'S Locker Rooms, Security Monitor Room). Yes she was investigating a possible crime, is it in her job description? Her irrational actions without solid evidence i.e. arresting Dr. Lee 2x makes her less credible as law enforcer whatever that is. I admit my deep hesitation to see this drama because of Park So Dam, mainly I never develop any liking to her due to her previous film works and the big age gap between the two leads BUT my great respect of Jang Hyuk won at the end. I had a previous "off screen love affair" with this great actor in Money Flower. From then, I was hooked. On a side note, please watch Money Flower, it's a 100% guarantee or your money back. I will post an addendum as I move along with this drama that is if Park So Dam does not drive me crazy with her stupidity enough to drop this drama. After watching several Drama, I sort of got use to over exaggeration of main lead character in the first few episodes for later character development. I don't know. Get the popcorn and soda, let's enjoy the show. Thank you for reading my post.
The first thing I notice was the OST kinda mission impossibleish!! for the lack of a better word, not bad actually fits the scenes.. Hang Geun Suk did a decent job in portraying both characters of Do Chan and Joon Soo, from his posture, body language and his facial expressions. I was annoyed with the female lead. The first few episodes showed her to have brash, condescending, and irrational ( for a prosecutor at that). Her and her chief cannot keep a poker face and their demeanor are dead give away regarding the fake Joon Soo. I cannot believe that she had the nerve to ask if Do Chan was jealous of Joon Soo. I was grateful that Do Chan set her straight when he told her no more disrespect and no more name calling (CON ARTIST). Not quite sure if I can endure her till the end. I've seen KDramas tend to over exaggerate the main characters in the first few episodes for character development. I'm not rooting for a happy romantic ending between Hara and/or Joon Soo, Do Chan.
