For the sake of... action?!

I guess when I started watching this I wanted to see some action and I guess in terms of action it's a good drama. On the other hand it's not as thrilling as some other dramas with political topics involved (e.g. Mad Dog). The most interesting for me were the relationships between the different protagonists. E.g. between Je-ha and Yoo-jin. It's a rather weird and hard-to-describe relationship and there were even times I kind of felt sorry for them. I suppose it's a good thing if the characters are rather grey than black or white and I sometimes had to remind myself why a certain character should be rather disliked (or not).
On the other hand Anna disappointed me to some extend. You can't deny that she's a poor girl, but that's mainly all there is. She's poor and rather dumb/naive all the time which is pretty annoying (to me at least). At the same time she "soothed" Je-ha's character to some extend. Thanks to her he could find what he probably lost over time. Still the love story is a rather weak one, but it's sweet and serves for the sake of motivation.

I found myself comparing Je-ha to Kenshin. Thinking about the thoughts you have if you have the result but completely different reasons to do something. One was rather heroic, another felt more like a coincidence to either make a character more loveable or to enhance possible plot twists.

I have to confess that I liked the OST. On one hand it was weird to have that kind of "epic" soundtrack for this drama, on the other hand it reminded me of playing a video game. Certainly, this could've been a video game I guess. Je-ha would've been a proper protagonist for that I suppose.

Kind of funny was the way some wounds appeared and vanished (while others remained for a long time to suddenly vanish). Then they should rather use a plaster I think. Still I didn't regret watching this by any means and it was worth watching. What's the moral of it? I wonder about that even after finishing it...
