I'm so sad, because this started out promisingly. Then the lackluster romance got in the way and spoiled it all.

Whenever I see JCW starring in an action drama, I tend to gravitate to such dramas because I know the fight scenes are going to be great. What can I say, I'm a sucker for flawless badassery. This started out pretty well with some intrigue, our main character being a mercenary, and the female introduced was a woman who gets what she wants by any means necessary. I thought, Oo, a blurred lines drama. I love dramas the challenge black and white, give me that grey. Nope. Not it ladies and gents. There was a lot of potential between some of the lines, but it gradually got lost in the calculated mess later on.

So, we have the Jae Ha who dealt with some sketchy murdery stuff while deployed, and was blamed for killing someone. He's on the run when he collides with An Na, who's also on the run from her mothers lackies. She's the romance interest, but I honestly wanted it to be Yoo Jin. She had so much more chemistry with the ML, and I wanted her redemption ark more than I want potatoes in every form. That woman had so much potential and it got thrown away in favor of a classic damsel in distress storyline. Nothing could save it once the tears started. It's a pretty run-of-the-mill political, money greedy story with some romance and back and forth thrown in. The acting was fine, but like I said, tears. I don't know why, but when a character only contributes tears to the screen, I lose complete interest. However, the OST is absolutely beautiful, so definitely listen to that even if you don't get around to watching this drama.

All in all, maybe not a bad drama, but the romance got in the way of the good bits. I couldn't get back into it, but you might enjoy it if you like the damsel in distress line.
