Well.. It's finally over. I don't really know where to begin with this review, since the ending left me utterly speechless.. The plot and ending (I'm not sure if this is a spoiler so read at your own caution) reminded me a lot of My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, which is ironic cause Lee Seung Gi is in both, but seeing how both of them played out in such similar manners was quite funny to me. This drama had pretty much everything. Romance, even a little love triangle, comedy, kick-ass action, and that ONE character you just cringe at the sight of them. I liked how viewers got to see a lot of character development, and I must admit the writers did exceptionally well these past 24 episodes to keep enough people on the edge of their seat the entire time.. So kudos to you guys. The acting was great as well. I knew Lee Seung Gi could pull of his character well, so I went in with high expectations, and left feeling very pleased with his performance. As for Suzy, I actually liked her in this. Seeing she's a beginner actress she actually portrayed her character well then of what I've seen her in previously. She was a little stiff in the beginning, and I could never really take her crying scenes seriously, but other than that she did really well. I hope to see more dramas/films from her, and hopefully she'll even gain more skills and give off better performances in the future. And, once again, I must give credit to the most badass actor of them all.. Lee Sung Jae. I know, some of you may be like "um what?" but by god could he act. I don't know what it is about the antagonist actors that I always feel outshine everyone (with the exception of Lee Seung Gi cause he's my baby), but he did an EXCEPTIONAL job in portraying his character. I mean if you can portray someone who was as selfless, greedy and just down right evil as his character was while doing well enough to make it believable, I feel you have some serious talent. But I think now I'd like to see him portray a happy character, just so I can compare the 2 and laugh. But besides them everyone did well too... And Choi Jin Hyuk as Wol Ryung.... UGH THAT VOICE. I PRACTICALLY MELTED AT THE SOUND OF HIM. The OST was perfect! Really great and fitting songs for the drama that I honestly just fell in love with. Overall, I really enjoyed watching this. It was sweet, at times hilarious, even had moments of ultimate bad-assery, and I really wouldn't mind watching it again... Although I probably won't since I think seeing it once was enough. Although, *spoiler* I really don't think I liked the ending all that much. Don't get me wrong, it was really sweet, but they should have just let it finish without the open ending. Cause now I'm worried that if they make a 2nd season it may not compare to how great the 1st season was. And if they happen to not make a 2nd season, I damn well better get an explanation as to what this ending was all about. I mean someone could have said something instead of standing there just looking at each other. So many questions left to be unanswered, guess we'll have to wait and see. Well.. I recommend watching this if you're looking for something sweet to watch with a lot of action placed in as well. (And sorry this was long, I just had a lot to say for this drama ^^)
