Short: Great fun, good spy action, good rom-com action, good sound track, great acting and some a couple of nice twists make for a fun time. Combine it with a super-satisfying ending and you've got a great mix :)
Detail:
Honestly don't think I found anything off-putting or out of place on this one, it was just well paced throughout and they nailed the ending of each episode perfectly to make it that much harder to go to bed at 4am, so, yeah, thanks for that production people. :)
So Ji-Sub the fugitive secret agent on the run, as a babysitter. If you're thinking it sounds like that "Kindergarten Cop" movie then don't, it really isn't that at all, Ji-Sub's character drops right into the role of being a great caregiver for the amazing two kids - it might have been nice for this to have been explained somehow, e.g. grew up with smaller siblings and flaky parents or something - but I didn't feel the omission of explanation was that big of a deal.
Jung In-Sun as the mother, comes off initially as the pinball in a furious game being pinged around a bit and suffering all kinds of problems whether it's her husband passing away or the drama of a 100 million won handbag - but actually while her character is seen to worry and lack confidence as situations arise what you find is that she's not afraid to face anything head-on. She's smart and nothing can stop her, even her own fear. I enjoyed seeing her overcome each of the trials put in front of her.
The two kids, wow, they were awesome!
The story moves at a reasonable pace as the game of cat and mouse proceeds, it certainly never got stale. There's some good mystery in there "who is the mole!" which was played well and I don't think it detracts too much from re-watching it either, in fact a second watch knowing how it all plays out is probably a recommendation anyway just to see if from the different perspective.
The other spy drama I watched recently was Man To Man and honestly I rate this one as better - although I enjoyed both I thought this one was better overall and nailed the ending perfectly, where Man To Man I just found had an unsatisfying ending.
Definitely worth a watch!
