Three Stars

Lo and behold everyone, Not-Healer has finally got a name: Kim Jae Ha. But, it's not his real name. Will I ever learn my male lead's name, show? Does he even have one?


What else did we learn? Not-Healer is not as stupid as I thought he was. He's not so much of a killer-machine either. He once was a happy person too. (I guess he had a name back then.)

The most interesting character is still none other than our Villainess, Madam Evil. I have so many questions when it comes to her. Has she always been so dark? If she's so bent on making her hubby the President (because she'll be controlling him), why didn't she run for the presidency, herself, instead? Why is she so obsessed with the presidency to begin with? Has her relationship with her husband always been like this? What's her problem with her brother? Is he secretly working with her enemies?

Honestly, I don't know if the character is all that promising or it's just the actress's doing. Song Yoo Na plays Madam Evil with grace. She's not a caricature of a bad woman. She's sharp, controlling, but mostly hurt, I believe.


The most interesting scene: Definitely Madam Evil falling in love, because that WAS love what I saw. I think that makes things clear. I'm boarding the sinking ship.


Overall, episode 3 gave us a car chase, an introduction into the world of politics Madam Evil and Assemblypawn live in, and Not-Healer was offered a ticket to this world. New characters were introduced while Anna was left to cry alone in a dark room, again (Yawns).


I didn't buy the last scene. I hoped for a stronger ending.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

I love it when I call a plot "twist" I just knew he'd end up working for "Madam" because her enemy would be his!!!! (I read/watch a lot of things.) That's great because I'm really interested in this. Because Madam had some serious creeper vibes when she gazed at Je Ha. No, I won't lie Je Ha and Yoo Jin (AKA Madam) have some chemistry. They're playing well off each other: hate, curioustiy, and so much more. It's all very intense.

That ending was super interesting. Was it just his fantasy? If it was real how will he escape the consquences?

As for the cast the political games are interesting, very-very. However, I feel like Je Ha is very predictable as the world weary hero. His character has been done before. Ji Chang Wook is what makes the character interesting. Hopefully in the future the character will become more than that and not just be cool because of the actor.

Poor An Na. All she does is scream, cry, and freak out. If I was the actress I'd be annoyed how little my role actually required and was up to this point. The weird thing is that the previews keep trying to make An Na look like she has more to do in each new episode. Honestly she has to have more to do in the next one right? I hate watching nothing but crying scenes. It's a strange choice by the writer (and director) to not want to show other aspects of their female lead. It's an odd choice to have her have such little use up to this point. Besides being the imprisoned damsel. -_-

This episode showed a bit more promise. What really needs to happen is to develop the leads more! Give An Na something other to do than cry all over the place. Ji Chang Wook has been a great thing to watch! Let's hope his character is more. (Props for kissing scene already. Sadly it was a freeze one.) Actually I have to give props to most of the actors, especially the other leads they're doing a great job. The writing may not be there yet, but man are they bringing it.
