I watched it for two reasons--(1) Jung Il Woo, (2) short episodes. I enjoyed it for exactly those two reasons. Jung Il Woo was as fun to watch as I expected and the episodes were short enough that the things I didn't like didn't bother me too much. The main thing I didn't like was Jin Se Yeon. I don't understand why she keeps getting leading roles because I haven't liked her in anything, even Gaksital, which I loved overall. I didn't care for the comic side characters either, but they didn't have enough screen time to be really irritating.

The other things I liked were the story and the music, both of which were better than average. I also liked the little cameos by Jung Kyung Ho and Kim So Yeon.

The first time I watched Duelist, I didn't quite know what to make of it. It was beautiful, but I didn't really get it. Kang Dong Won and Ha Ji Won are wonderful, and they have incredible chemistry, but the story puzzled me because I wasn't used to that kind of story telling. I rated it 8/10 because I liked it.

I just watched it for a second time, and I totally love it. I guess I approached it as visual poetry this time rather than watching it for the narrative. Viewing it that way, it totally enchanted me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this drama. Except for a couple of minor missteps near the end, the story was consistently engaging. Jung Kyung Ho was right on with his character arc. I loved his portrayal of the somewhat reluctant change from jerk to hero. Kim So Yeon did her usual good job with her role. Yoon Hyun Min made a terrific second lead. After his bromance with Jung Kyung Ho in Cruel City, it was fun to see them as enemies.

This was a very fun watch, especially considering that it is just a glorified commercial for Lotte Duty Free. I have to say they make the best commercials. I guess that is because they get the very best actors and idols for their commercials. Six out of the seven celebrities are favorites of mine. EXO's Kai is the only one I had never noticed before. Lee Joon Gi is my number 1 favorite actor, but Park Hae Jin, Ji Chang Wook, Lee Jong Suk, and Lee Min Ho are in my top ten and Taekyeon is my favorite idol/actor. How could I not love this fun little drama/ad?
