Skip this show.

This show is NOT worth your time!

I honestly don't get why this show gets all that hype. There are tons of other Kdrama that are much much much better than this. This show isn't even a good show to pass the time and I'll tell you why now..

First of all, the story is supposedly about revenge and without getting into detail in order to avoid spoiling for those who actually want to see the show after this review - the revenge is obnoxious. It's not even all that satisfying to watch.
Also this whole story could've ended at its very start if a certain thing (that was a no brainer tbh) happened but the character that was supposed to do it chose not to just for the heck of it and simply for us to have a story.
And the romance was basically forced. There was no chemistry at all and I honestly can't feel that these characters are in love.
The story was moving solely by coincidences which amounts to bad writing. The writer should've thought of better ways to keep the story going but instead everything was on the spot without real coherence.

The acting..oh the acting was horrrrribleeee!
Don't get me wrong I love the actors and have seen them in other roles but this was just..bad..
Lee Min ho the male lead looks nice but just doesn't look right for the role..I can't believe that this guy is badass no matter what I try to tell myself.
Park Min-young was a different person than what I had thought..I came to Kdrama pretty late and have seen her later works and I absolutely fell in love with her but in this one she looked inexperienced with weak acting and I honestly couldn't like her in that role.
Kim Sang-joong and Lee Joon-hyuk were okay I guess..they played their roles well but the writing didn't do them justice.

As for the soundtracks they were okay but nothing special or too good.

Now about the characters, they simply sucked. The main character was your typical righteous hero who has ideals that came of nowhere really. He wasn't raised to be like that so how on Earth did he end up this way?
He wasn't really as badass as he the story made him to be. Instead, he was pretty dumb tbh and didn't actually calculate what he did (this seems to be the theme of the show).
The female main character was so plain that I couldn't care less what happened to her. She was in a job that required strength, intuition and a normal thinking brain...and she lacked all of those.

Whatever really...I feel like I've wasted enough time watching this show and writing this review so I'm gonna stop here after advising you again not to watch this show..It really really isn't worth your time. The hype is unaccounted for and most of the other reviews were simply misleading.

~The End.
