Frustratingly satisfying.

Drama does a great job in setting a character foundation for the main lead in the first episode alone. The way episode 1 starts gives you an idea on how Jang Geu Rae's character will change and grow from the frustrating, quiet and hesitant pushover that he was. I am anticipating his growth and can't wait to watch the rest of the drama! I'm also anticipating how they will cover the other characters in this drama.

Episode 1? Short film #1?

First of all, I must say - the intro had me hooked! Im Siwan being a badass, navigating through the maze-like streets of Jordan, what more could I need to get hooked? Siwan's good at the role - I saw a couple of people calling him 'wooden' but I didn't think so? I appreciate the restraint he shows with his emotions and the scene when he changes into the suit was pretty tear-rendering, I think! Anyway, this is the first time I'm coming across Siwan and I can't say that I'm displeased!

Kang Sora is lovely in her role - damn she killed those red lips and smoky eyes, I must say! Still otherwise, she fulfills the role just nicely so far. Kang Haneul's wonderful (as always) and I can't help but be slightly suspicious of Baekgi - what's his real motive, hmm?

The reason it almost felt like a short film (though not too short) was definitely due to the cinematography. It was slick, with character and gave off very film-like vibes. I adored it, frankly!

Also special mention must be made of my favourite bully, Yoon Jonghoon. I never thought I would have a favourite bully before but I really did like his act in Monstar and he's doing well to irk me here, too!

It captured me emotionally T^T

Man, the first episode was so good. I mean, it captured me emotionally, I feel so sad for Geu Rae I want to keep watching to see when his life finally takes the good road. T_T
And I'm cofused, is Baek Ki a bad guy or a good guy? :/ well I think he is more bad than good, too bad, I even thought he probably fell in love with him >_< No too much fangirl imagination XD
