This drama is just a masterpiece. I am not the kind of person that watches this kind of dramas, but I also think that if they're well done they are masterpiece. 14 days was that kind of drama that it is just not your cup of tea but you see it because it is just addictive. Also, see it while airing had its contro (since there are a LOT of things that happen, sometimes I couldn't remember things that happened last week) and also its pro (I am able to say it was worth watching, I had all the time to find my opinion about it). Let's go in points. 1) Story The plot is just perfect. Not that perfect wich means "happiness" but that perfect that makes you watch the drama. Every character is different, everyone (from Saetbyul to the policeman) has his own way to think and act. The team up between Dong Chan and Soo Hyun makes you see how they are able to work togheter. 14 days is FULL of plot twists, it is not predictable at all, at the end of every episode you make considerations, but in the next the situation is completely different and new. I loved how they were able to make me think a lot about the mistery and the reason of what was happening, and then they bring up something out of nowhere but not unrealistic. Everything was believable. The episodes go on in a rush, but not a bad rush, it is only that characters don't lose time while searching to find the truth. Really, the story never gets you annoyed. It never makes you want to turn off the tv. 2) Actors/ Acting I have to say I used to like Lee Bo Young when she made IHYV. I thought she was a good actress. Maybe because I only saw her in IHYV and Becoming a Milionaire I saw her like a just 'normal' actress. But I was wrong. She is a VERY GOOD actress. When you see her in this drama, you know she can do every personality. She was able to bring me to tears with her acting. The pain that you can see in her eyes when her character is facing the lost of her child seems so real. Cho Seung Woo made a perfect job too. His personality was very clear, you were able to trust in him unlike other characters. The kid was good. Maybe sometimes a little bit to 'un'clever, but well, she's just 9 yo. Everyone acted well, I have nothing to complain. Well, I have to say even Baro move me to tears. His character was so pitiful. 3)Music The music suits perfectly the drama. There were few songs and a lot of instrumentals. Since you're listening the dialogues and watching the scenes you don't listen to the music, but it leaves something anyway. 4)The ending. I am not making spoilers but I am only saying if I liked it or not. I'm am doing this only because there are people that watch dramas only if the ending is in a certain way :) So, if you don't want to know ANYTHING about the end (I am just saying how it seemed to me), DON'T read. The ending was something 'shocking' for a LOT of people. Was BAD for a lot of people. Was GOOD for others It is a kind of end that makes you understand something and makes you wonder a lot. It isn't nor good nor bad. I liked it. It was in the drama style. Some people might say they rushed everything: NO, the didn't. It was only the way EVERY episode went from the first minute in the first ep. Every episode is the same, speaking of rushing times. Someone might say it is a bad ending only because they wanted to see some characters again. But that characters weren't able to do anything for the kid and DC's brother anymore. In this drama, when someone leaves the scenes is because his part is over. Some people might be sure that something bad happened. I don't think something bad happened, otherwise they would make us see the thing happening. The ending is a little bit misterious, the last lines are the key for understanding the end. There's something missing, but they WANTED to insert that words. They WANTED something to be missing. It's not that they didn't have time, or they were in a rush or anything. That end is good if you pay attention. 5) Overall: A masterpiece.
