Watch Only If You Are A Fan of Eric Mun
I have just completed the 18 Episodes. The show had a strange plot of North Korea not having enough good actors and sent a bunch of agents to the South to take one good actor back ie. Lee Kang Woo (Eric's character). The beautiful agent is Myung Wol (played by Han Ye Seul) who is suppose to make Kang Woo fall in love and marry her, eventually following/lure him back to North Korea with her. I struggled through the 18 episodes and am grateful Eric's acting held the show together. He is able to portray a famous Hallyu Star effectively as confident, self-assured and decisive which is what the show needed to keep the depth going. Other than that, everything was pretty shallow. Agent Myung Wol had some good fighting scenes but unfortunately the character she played was a very weak, insecure, indecisive agent who did not manage to control any of her actions or decisions. Her acting also needed more work. I was so frustrated at her character especially towards the last 7 episodes of having change her mind again and again on the man she loves. My hair was falling out, I almost gave up but wanted to give justice the work Eric put in....phew, finally managed to complete. Surprisingly, the second lead characters were played well by Lee Jin Wook and Jang Hee Yin and managed to help the drama along. Watch only if you are a fan of Eric Mun or Lee Jin Wook. Otherwise, can give it a miss. Sorry for the honesty.
