Exciting spy romance full of action and fights


Drama queen
There is no boring character and it’s due to an excellent script. It’s a kaleidoscope of different personalities and every one has its time on the screen. It was difficult for me to focus on the main leads because other characters were engaging a lot and amazing played, all of them. So we have a good spy and a bad spy, cruel boss, greedy mother, cringing gangster, kindhearted boxer, romantic detective, weird secretary, but my favourite is the father (Park Sung Geun). Sweet swindler and Christian neophyte who lives in reality he created himself. Nice.
But the queen of drama is our female lead Seo Hyun, definitely. I didn’t expect such good acting from her. I thought: oh, it’s just another idol star with a pretty face, but no! She created really captivating and attractive character. Her clothes, hairs, voice, kisses, tears – everything fits perfectly!

Undercover lovers and handsome cast
We can’t find here a fine bromance of detectives or spies, that we always waiting for, but don’t worry, we have a great womance. It’s rare to watch so intense relation between girls so drama gives you a unique impression. Kim Hyo Jin and Seo Hyun create an original couple and they are a distraction from the other handsome members of the crew.
Despite the spy-corruption-fighting-swindler theme, there is a lot of sweet romance here. Really, really sweet.

Social commentary about corruption
It’s impossible to avoid corruption problems when the story is about industrial and political espionage. So drama reveals the truth we often don’t want to see that politicians are figureheads but someone else has real power. The disgusting of the bad guys and politicians was so well portrayed that it was easy to hate them.

Fun, entertaining and Vivian
There is a lot of fun because the characters are involuntarily funny. And we can’t forget about Vivian! Bad dog.

Am I the only one who loves the drama? Hope not. If you are dreaming of something with fast action, mystery disappears, clever swindlers and sweet romance or you missed Go Kyung Pyo when he was in the army – everything is here. It’s the third drama of writer-nim Yoo Sung Yeol after ‘My Beautiful Bride’ and ‘Cruel City’. I love them all.
