Truly, I was expecting much more of this show. Overall, I wanted it not to be another Mirror of the Witch, with too many episodes = too boring.
Luckily, this one it’s a bit less boring than the other one,even if 20 episodes are still too many. Definitely, it would have been better with 16.
Story —) it was OK, but the plot was a completely disaster. The first three episodes were really good, the last three or four were good too... But, in between, sometimes the rest of the episodes were kind of boring.
This secret plan was an stupid idea, I really don’t know what screenwriters were thinking all along.
What about the ending? Why is it so ambiguous? I would prefer the 20th episode to finish like 10 minutes before than that. There’s no logical coherence in why there was a year gap, or why the last episode has to be that way for Lee Joon Gi (because really, there were some other episodes where he was in much worse situations than in this one). Nonetheless, I liked how it ended for Gwi, kind of poetic, isn’t it?
Acting —) I wanted to see Lee Joon Gi in another drama, after having watched him in Moon Lovers. I think he was ok in this one and I admit he’s a good actor (although I prefer him in Moon Lovers obviously). I understood the sadness in him but he was so boring in his daily life! On the other hand I couldn’t see the chemistry between the main leads anywhere. And another thing I found really bothersome was that I couldn’t understand why Yang Seon was smart and brave when she was dressing as a man , and she acted as a stupid and spoiled child when she was dressed as a woman. Moreover, the development of both main leads where inexistente and too flat.
What I liked very much was the villain. He is the best villain ever (and the sexiest). At least he and Hye Ryung changed throughout the episodes and they showed that their personalities were much deeper than the main leads.
Music —) I didn’t care about the music. In fact it was burdensome and irritating.
Rewatch —) Never... unless someone explains to me what really happens at the end.
