Everybody thinks this is a Rom/Com with some Action & Law drama. WRONGGGG. MINOR SPOILE

Everybody thinks this is a Rom/Com with some Action & Law drama. WRONGGGG.

This is a story about Serial Killers (sociopaths) . Its a Horror* Crime drama with some comedy and bad romance even worse who done(sic) it Mystery. The Genre tags should read: Horror, Serial Killers, Crime, Law, Romance, Comedy, Thriller/Mystery

* Horror - Slasher type and not Supernatural. Think more like Saw rather than Final Destination

I think I just felt bad how morally corrupt (murder/blackmail etc) all the main characters were and How thoroughly I enjoyed the show because of it. This fact made me question mine & wider audiences' morality.

E.g. They murdered a van full of people incl. a child & the FL dad was murdered but the sow still flows from this darkness to comedy, flirting. However, I enjoyed this change of pace & kept it from being a doom & gloom fest, but felt guilty in after thought.

The show is a masterpiece of people giving in to their killing urges and not even trying to justify they have a conscience, all while keeping the audience hooked. If you watch the show, with the frame of mind that this is a tragedy drama, rather than a romcom, I wonder if you will have a different out look to mine and many others who enjoyed the show.

However, this show lacks in the romance category, especially as the leads had great chemistry. A Suave international criminal mastermind/hitman with a law degree struggles to confess his feelings throughout the show, made for lacklustre viewing and in need of some romantic spark.

This is a show that effortlessly flows from cold blooded murder, revenge to comedy and romance for 16 episodes without blinking an eye/missing a beat; this is The Godfather with its own special Korean Sauce mixed in.

This is why I love Kdrama. lol


Rating:
Overall 8.5
Story 9 - Considering its about Serial Killers disguised as a Rom/Com/Action..pure genius
Production 6 - They could have stepped up the Rom in Rom/Com
Acting 8 - Serial Killers blending into society as normal functioning people, totally had me fooled. They were only glitchy during the Rom part.
OST 6 - Did its job but nothing memorable
Visual FX 5 - Meh
