So I had really high expectations for this drama, since everyone spoke so highly of it. To be honest, it disappointed me a little. I wasn't completely captivated by seeing the first one, two or even third episode. I kept watching because it did caught me attention, it just wasn't my first priority. But this DID change! When I came across episode 7 or 8, the story became interesting and I was aching to know what was coming next. The last 4 episodes really kept me watching, but the overall ending disappointed me. It kind of reminded me of the movie Inception, in the end, Dom spins a toll and you want to know if it's real or not. That kind of endings really annoy me. Overall, I would give it a 9/10, and I'll tell you why:
The story was really good, I haven't read the original manga, but from the description of it, I guess there was a lot of change in it. Not only the setting, but also the relationships between the characters. I think this story was made for adults, rather than teens, and that hit the right spot. The links in the story came together as the drama progressed, it really came out great. 9/10
The cast was also good, I really liked Park Min Young and fell in love with Lee Min Ho, he's so handsome ;) I also really felt for Prosecuter Kim Young Joo (Lee Joon Hyuk). Because their acting was really good, the watcher feels the characters and experience the story with them. 10/10
The music, that's a different story. I liked the music, that's not the point, but I often felt the music was misplaced. Really, really often. Their were instrumentals used for suspense, but there was no action. There were also songs that were played with - this is how I feel - the wrong lyrics. Some of the songs were nice, other weren't. I have mixed feelings about the OST, but it went on my iPod anyway. I really do like Suddenly, by Kim Bo Kyung. Overall: 6/10.
I don't like re-watching, let me make this clear, but this drama, I would re-watch. Not for my own fun, but when a friends would ask me to watch City Hunter with him/ her, I would say 'Yes'. I do think you would be bothered by things you already know, but I always have that feeling, so yeah. 7/10.
Overall, I would give it a 9/10. Because I really enjoyed watching and that's the main thing. Enjoy!
