So I've been catching up on my usual shows which means I haven't watched anything Korean within the past few months so I've been out of the loop as far as what's the Korean drama to watch these days.

I came across a trailer for this on Netflix and thought why not. I mainly watched it because it had Lee Won Jong who played as Moscow in it. Whenever I see a drama with him in it I watch it. I don't know why but I do.

Anyway, this was a very very slow drama. There was only maybe like two episodes that had me on the edge of my seat. The other times I could only make it to about one or two episodes at a time. From the constant disobedience by Yeong Min who plays the director to Seon Woo Jin's face I found myself being easily irritated by these two. There was no build up in either character. It was just the same in every last episode. Plus the rushed crush between The Professor and Woo JIn's character felt-what's the word...icky?? It just didn't seem to match. The immediate falling in love just didn't feel right.
And what's a Korean drama without some political propaganda thrown in? I don't think this series needed this type of filler. Going through every character's backstory would've sufficed.

It was an OK watch. I think if it had the whole 12 episodes I probably would've dropped it. But the way episode six ended...if I had known it was going to end the way it did I would've waited till the whole thing came out. And then again if the whole thing was out and the way episode 6 ended I would've watched episode 7 to see if I would keep it going, lol.
