l'll start this review off by writing about the things I enjoyed while watching this. The acting was great and all the actors played their part perfectly. The chemistry between the actors was also through the roof This is not a rom-com the chemistry here is more of long lost friend/sibiling kinda feel . This show made me feel all kinds of emotions and for that I applaud the cast for conveying their characters perfectly.
PLOT
The story was amazing and gripping until around episode 7. I don't know what happened after that, but it got so boring that I found myself looking at my phone screen more than the TV and finally move on to another series even-though this was a short one. It felt as if the writers had no idea where to take this drama and they just threw scenarios together hoping it would make sense. Unfortunately the whole show was filled with plot holes and even after the end I have some unanswered questions. The whole thing was also very confusing at times.
Surprisingly the ending made me feel empty inside, which is a feeling I usually experience after finishing a drama I really enjoyed, but this might just be due to the way it ended.
The story would fit perfectly in an 8 episode mini series or 16 episode (30 min) mini-series instead of current 12 episode .
CAST
I thought Jang Ki-Yong (Come Hug Me !!) is really suited to play as psycopath/silent assassin. He made me care for him despite the fact that he had the same expression throughout the show. It worked in his favor too and sold the "serial killer with a good heart" persona quite well. The hardships he endured the environment he grewup it all shows what he became and as expected an anti-hero will not have an happy ending
Nana (Into The Ring) portrays the female lead ; your standard formulaic supposedly 'strong' heroine. Conveniently playing the damsel in distress when it mattered and the right amount of dumb to keep prolonging the story. She does have a beautiful smile and she is the main reason anyone would watch show. At the end here wailing was unbelievable ; poor woman lost her two light/eyes in her life
There were some very interesting and also frustrating side characters that I wanted to know more about and see our hero interact with but I guess the creators were short of time.
VERDICT
I did feel that there was more action and less depth in the drama. You feel for the characters but not enough to really be invested. Regardless, it's an excellent time-pass. There are some very heavy moments, some good dialogue and badass fighting sequences to keep you hooked. While I don't think this drama is something that stays with you long after you finish it, I do think it's good while it lasts.
It didn't really make me to love it but I finished it because I was curious and I can also say that I didnt mind the bittersweet ending ; as I expected that when i started
