I think this is a rom-com with chaos as its mix
I enjoyed this to a certain point, let me take you through what the plot following a prosecutor who almost loses her life in the hand of a powerful gangster she has been investigating, at the end of her life she is saved by man, unknowing to her he was a boy she saw when she was much younger in her school days life and also met him in the latter part of her life, when she had grown older. He also had another identity as the second in command in the gangster group that almost took her life.
He gets her into hiding in the countryside as he retires from being a gangster as his reward for completing his last task (ending the girl's life). I believe this is where we follow them through the story as she finds her lost memories, gets a boyfriend, makes true friends, gets jealous, and gets protected.
Going into what I love about this story.
I really loved the relationships that were formed between Eun Sae and the characters in the countryside. At first Eun Sae was at odds with many people in the village: Tae Ha's grandma, the shaman (Cho Maeng Suk), Kim Pil Seung's mother(Paeng Hui Ja), and many others, but over time, amidst the conflicts and the quarrels, strong relationships grew, and true friendships were found. There was something heartfelt in how these people who found nothing but quarrels with Eun Sae were willing to root for her. The relationship between Tae Ha and his grandma was touching; everything he did and did not do was for his grandma. Likewise, his interactions with others in the community, they loved him and were willing to understand. Even the moment he went back into being a gangster while being forced, they just hugged him and comforted him; that was the peak of the true relationship.
At the end, when the community gathered to beat the Bad Guys, that clearly shows what their bonds were like. The fights were so hilarious.
I find people dislike the actress's acting and her character; I am not one of them. I felt the actress really put effort into her character and portraying it convincingly am really not sure of an actress that could fit the role better than her. Her character (Eun Sae), even while she woke up in a hospital bed at the start of the drama and behaved like that, wanting a handsome man as her boyfriend, I believe that was what she wanted, as in he life as a prosecutor or even before she became a prosecutor. Eun Sae lost her memories, but she carried the characteristics from her inner self, which she never really revealed.
Tae Ha was one of the greenest ML if you ask me, he loved one girl his life, he protected her at the risk of getting caught and killed, he became her boyfriend for her own safety and tried not to past the boundary, even while she fell in love with him later in the story he waited for her to recover he memory for her to make the choice she won't regret later on.
Tae Ha has been through so much since young, but it all stems from the undying love he has for his grandma and the unwillingness to let her die. I found his love for his grandma so heartfelt. She was his Achilles heel, but he doesn't care.
WHAT I FOUND NOT GOOD.
THE SCRIPT WAS LACKING IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
The second couple wasn't fleshed out at all. Why did Su Ji push Gi Jun away? I did not get any of that: no flashbacks or backstories, then at the end Gi Jun had a realization of what the girl meant to him, and Su Ji accepted him, and they planned marriage. IT HAD NO REAL IMPACT ON ME AS THE VIEWER.
I would have loved to see Jung Sun Won and Hyang Seon dating or building feelings for each other; something was already happening before the show ended, I felt it would be more interesting.
Tae Ha's behavior as a 14-year-old trained gangster puts me off at certain times
Final Thoughts.
I think this is the kind of drama I would watch for the fun and for some hilarious moments between people in the villages and how they form a bond from everyday quarrels to genuine care.
The script made its character overly exaggerate at some moments and it should have ended sooner than the 12 episodes given. Baek Saengil reveal of being Tea Ha Father was out of place and seem to came into the story for Baek Saengil to kill himself, as the Tae Ha never knew at the end of the show. I guess it would have given him more peace at mind not knowing his father.
