I've watched till the halfway point of episode 5 of this drama and I think I've just come to the realisation that this drama just isn't for me. I'm watching so many dramas at the moment, but this is the only one I'm not excited for each week. In three years of watching kdramas I've only ever dropped one other and so I thought I should explain why I'm dropping this one.

I have to firstly say I don't think this is a bad drams at all, it's just becoming more and more each episode not my thing. It doesn't really let you know what type of drama it becomes in the MDL 'about' section so I'm letting you guys know with this review. The first 2 episodes were outstanding I loved the really dark tone of the story they told in the 80s, it really looked like this drama was going to be something different and new for me - I especially found Gong Ji Chul (played by Jang Ki Yong) a really interesting character to follow, his story and the exploration of his character were told so well.

But it seems with the modern episodes this drama has become your basic crime/murder mystery drama and I've just been watching too many of that genre of drama recently, so the ones I do watch have to really hook me. But I'm not feeling like the crime plot is anything that unique so I've lost interest in the core plot of the drama now.

Also annoyingly Jang Ki Yongs character is the only one I'm interested in learning about in the present. The other two characters in both times just aren't ones I gravitate towards - they're just a bit dull (no hate to the actors it's just the characters I'm not a fan of) - and this drama has three stars, so that's two thirds of the drama which I don't feel any sort of emotional attachment to. Our main relationship for example is something the viewer needs to be really invested in but that just hasn't happened for me.

I will probably continue to check in on this dramas tag, just to see it my predictions are right, but sadly I won't continue watching the full episodes. One good thing has come out of this drama for me though, I used to really dislike of Jang Ki Yong, but watching this drama has turned me into a big fan of his. I am happy I gave this drama a go because those first two episodes were so brilliant and I'm glad I got to experience them.
