Let's just get right to it. The story in itself had potential and could be a very successful drama, but oh lord how it could also go very very wrong. A drama focusing on the main plot itself could have gotten away with 10-12 episodes at most, but all the forced "romantic" scenes between the two main leads as well as silly (yet loveable) TVshop fillers forced the drama to an almost unbearable 20. It just really threw me off. The fillers got worse after about episode 8, and before that point I actually quite enjoyed the drama. It's just never a good thing when 3/5 of a drama are terrible. The acting is pretty terrible for the most part. I don't want to mention any names (mostly because I can't remember her name), but the prosecutors ex-wife was terrible. Also talk about random character. Lee Jin Pyos character was rather cool, mostly because of his magnificent glaring. He really expressed his emotionless core well. Lee Yoon Sung ont he other hand, needs to work on his glaring skills. They were rather bland and not really convincing. And don't get me started on Kim Nana and Lee Yoon Sungs relationship. Just no. Music was lovely most of the time. I just kind of wished they didn't have 4 versions of the 3 same songs playing over and over. Variation is good, people. I don't think I'll ever rewatch this. It was a hassle at the end, and without good company I don't really think I would be able to stick it out until the end. I just.. no. I'm giving it a 4 because while it wasn't good, it did entertain me for the first 8 or so episodes. Too bad it all went downhill from there.
