I'm a person that has watched SEVERAL dramas, Korean, Taiwanese, and Japanese. I'm a VERY picky person when it comes to dramas, if the plot doesn't hook me or drag me into the story, I drop the drama. So when I stumbled onto 'Bridal Mask' I was pleasantly surprised on how suspenseful it is; the main character is very dynamic. Bridal Mask isn't your average korean drama with simple romance and a bit of a serious plot. Every moment in Bridal Mask is serious and tense, well there are some comedic reliefs to let the viewers rest.
This drama draws you in, probably by far one of the best korean dramas I've watched. The lead actor, Joo Won does a brilliant job of portraying Lee Kang To, a ruthless pro japanese officer. He did such a wonderful job that I hated his character so much. His acting is just superb, I didn't expect this cruel side of him. The lead actress, Jin Se Yun is a new actress. To be honest, I did not quite like the main female character, Mok Dan. I wish the screenwriters could have developed Mok Dan into a better character because so far in the drama, all she has basically done was run, get caught, run, get caught again. She does serve as an important character to Lee Kang To because she becomes a love interest. Then there is Kimura Shunji, played by the second lead actor. Shunji's character development was a big twist in the drama. I praise the actor for Shunji because I certainly did not expect such a character change.
Overall, this drama is a must watch.
