If you are looking for something special, then this is the drama for you!
I'm that type of Drama trash that gets fed up easily with repetitive stories, romances, love triangels and the same poor woman/man meets rich man/woman. That's why I'm always out there searching for something new, something special, something I've never seen before and this was that kind of drama for me! I'm a gamer as well and the concept of an AR game like that made me drool.
I'm not a fan of the synopsis which is presented here though... If you are looking for romance, then this might not be the drama for you as it focuses more on action and fantasy/sci-fi. But I tell you... All the scenes regarding these genres were outstanding! I couldn't take my eyes of the TV. The effects were fantastic, the fights were epic and the locations and scenery was beautiful. If you are intrigued, give this drama a shot!
Story:
The story had me on the edge of my seat every episode while I binge watched it. That's all I needed to enjoy this drama to the maximum. The ending could've been a bit different but in my opinion it's not that bad. You could read in between lines as it is an open ending.
Acting/cast:
Hyun Bin was one of my first drama crushes to be honest... I might be a bit biased but I enjoyed his performance so much! He had a lot of difficult scenes in this one and he made me cry with him. Park shin-Hye did a good job as well :) Not her fault that she had to cry so much folks. She made it belivable and I cried with her.
Music:
I love 'Memories of alhambra' as my mother used to play it on guitar as well when I was little. Brought back memories haha. The way they combined it with the unpleasant event in the story got me goosebumps everytime it played. There was another prominent OST which I remember hearing a lot. it was soothing and fitting the atmosphere. Excuse me while I search for 'Memories of Alhambra' on YT.
Rewatch value:
OMG YES! There are way too many epic scenes, fights, effects, beautiful scenery and other things for me to not watch this at least 5 more times.
Overall:
I came for something extraordinary and that is exactly what I got :) The story had some 'holes' for some people but they also forgot that an AR game like that is not possible (yet) and therefore it made this whole drama fantasy/sci-fi genre. I didn't need a scientific explanation for everything as long as I enjoyed the whole thing. The ending left me thinking and I could easily imagine how things actually turned out. The ending is open and people saying it's bad is actually them wanting to see more from this drama, like scenes which should've happened afterwards. They happened in my head and in my heart though.
