The story is great...but the wrong male lead was selected for this role

I'm rating this show super high because the story was so masterfully done. Every single plot thread mixes into this gorgeous tapestry of mystery and suspense. The story plays like a well written sci-fi novel and it's amazing. The lead actress is incredible in this role, she does an exceptional job navigating her character and is a 100% badass. I absolutely loved her in this and loved the role they wrote her into.

That said, the male lead was not the right choice for this role I think. His performance felt awkward and out of place. It felt like his character from Stranger straining to be something grander and more extroverted and there were many times I felt like his character absolutely did not belong in the story at all. I've seen the guy in other things from before Stranger, and basically I think Stranger ruined him. Like he's 100% the right guy for Stranger and I love him so much in that role...but now every other role kind of feels like the character from Stranger. IDK how he breaks away from that, but I hope he does cause it's painfully awkward to watch the guy in some of the scenes. It's almost like he's a semi-retarded child being led around by goddess. I'm 100% the guy's fan, but I would have enjoyed this drama a lot more with a different nerdy engineer male lead.

I would, even so, watch this drama again because the story was so exceptional and it's always fun to watch a chick kick butt.
