Story: a girl moves to an island to get a fresh start but ends up entangled with the mafia.

In the beginning everything was great. It's rare for me to like a contemporary C-drama, but this one really drew me in. Our heroine is funny, with a personality that made me instantly like her. She's someone that seemed very real. I liked the way she handles certain situations that would make me want to die of embarrassment. I was a little misled by the poster as to who the hero was, but I have to say, I was really digging the fresh faced puppy that's really a mafia assassin (?). It was easy to believe that no one suspected him, because seriously, nobody ever would. He pretty much fell for her from the beginning, and it was a damn delight to watch him work for her attention.

The story kept me engaged up to about episode 15. After that, unfortunately, it went flat and never recovered. I was left feeling vaguely unsatisfied when the end came around. Basically I didn't think they had enough conflict to last the duration of the show and had to really reach for things. That was really sad for me; a subpar ending to a visually gorgeous drama.
