I enjoyed this one as a fun action packed bromance to get the adrenaline rushing and the sudden need to hit the gym.

I was actually biting my nails a couple of times because the combination of music, staging and suspense just worked in a lot of moments of this drama. The tone is very solid overall. The two main characters are so lovable! And the actors portraying them are so charismatic! Yes. Give me a solid bromance any day of the week. Their chemistry was off the charts!

This drama is just plain fun, thrilling and action packed. But it also has heart with the wonderful bromance between the two male leads. There was not a moment that was draggy for me, which is a common issue with some dramas of this nature. I love that this is a shorter series that knew exactly what it was. It never tried to be some ridiculous super complicated drama that has tons of unnecesary plot twists for the sake of surprise. No. This drama is a simple, bloody, action good vs evil type of show. It is entirely self aware and not afraid to cut it short when it needs to. As long as you're aware of it before watching it you'll be happy.

It even goes as far of sending one of their main characters away when she is no longer needed in the story. I am probably in a minority but I applaud this decision. The FL was not bad but from a writing perspective she had nothing to contribute at that point of the drama and the writers just sent her off somewhere else. You know it was the right decision when you don't even miss her. The heart and soul of the drama are the boys anyways, so it's ok. And I actually prefered the end of the series FL that replaced her. She had so much more chemistry with the boys and was a breath of fresh air. She was not presented as a hinderance and was used sparingly, not taking unnecesary screentime away from the boys like the previous FL.

All in all I enjoyed this one a lot! It's a nice not very complicated show that made me smile, scream and cheer at my screen more than a couple of times. Well worth watching!
