Nothing new
It was really great to see Ji Sub again in action. The drama though couldn't really leave a mark for me. He has done this type of work quite a lot and the story is pretty much predictable. It is one of those dramas where you have to brace yourself with over the top action and over the top writing. Things happened precisely the way our main characters wanted it. The plot included two stories, completely unrelated, which later sort of merged in the background and there you go... another north-south animosity drama unfolds. The drama was good when it was less political in the first half, afterwards it is the same old story. I can overlook over the top action anytime (I know what to expect from such plot) however, the thing that made me cringe was the fact that the ML's daughter even after loosing so much blood and after being in the plastic bag for a day or two still survived the blow and woke up hale and hearty, like she was in a deep sleep. I felt like dropping it then and there. All the seriousness of the plot just vanished in that moment. It could have been a great show and I had really very high expectations when I saw the ratings but it was just a one time watch for me. If I just stop watching it for a day or two I don't think I would be very much inclined to pick it up again.
