So this is the first review I've written, but I really wanted to share what I though of this drama so that more people would be encouraged to watch it.
I think the main problem people had with this show is that it started off promising one thing and it ended with another. Yong Pal goes from bad ass to hopeless romantic, and if you aren't on board with that transition you might feel bitter. The show is a romance, and so if you are looking for a drama to fulfill your needs of crime, and crazy behavior this might not do it for you. However, if you are looking for a beautiful romance, that intertwines revenge, drama, and crime in small ways, this will be perfect. This an intense story, and never has a dull moment.
Joo Won is one of my all time favorite actors, and I think he did exceptionally well in this show. Prior to this I saw him in Good Doctor, & I found it nostalgic seeing him play a doctor again. If it wasn't for Joo Won, Yong Pal's transitions could have been really awkward, but he played it through perfectly and made doable. I had really high hopes for Kim Tae Hee, I've never seen her before, but have heard good things. Her character seemed very apathetic to me the whole drama. I was never able to tell what she was feeling, and compared to Joo Won she just seemed really bland. I really tried to like her, but she just never grew on me. Had a more suitable actress been picked this drama might have been a 10/10 for me.
The music in this drama was well done, and captured the emotions well.
I would definitely rewatch this drama, and I think for those that didn't like it the first time around might appreciate it more if they gave it another chance.
