Four Stars

Enjoyable series with a fine cast. My qualification is that I didn’t think Go Ah Ra was right for the part. Though she does have a few good scenes, mostly she is bland—the actress is neither skillful nor charismatic enough to create a character that would inspire the passion of two such beautiful, powerful men. In fact, their bromance throughout the series is charming and far more interesting.

Five Stars

One of the greatest Korean dramas. Fabulous cast, writing, direction, and a score plus sound effects editing that is so gripping it is like another character in the story. Two killers, one quite typical and scary, the other an even more terrifying surprise. And a complex, touching background story that takes time slip to another level. Truly a fine series any country would be proud to claim, and once again, it is Korea.

Excellent episodes but with some credibility issues.

I love the series so far, and of course our brilliant Lead. But I feel the writer stretches credibility. No one thought to look for her at every single island in that area? And how does she find all that stuff to build a home, much less the tools to put it all together. But she’s so wonderful, I just move on with her.

Tiresome go back drama done to death and beneath Ji Sung

I cannot imagine why the brilliant Ji Sung is in a tiresome flash back to high school drama: what was he thinking. It’s been done to death as recently as just last year in Go Back Couple. And this one begins with a boring, tedious first episode. Ugh. I’ll pass on the rest, which I have never done with Ji Sung.

Brilliant series: Grim and gritty; thrilling…

Brilliant series: Grim and gritty; thrilling action sequences, and not just wonderful Rain; at times shocking and heartbreaking. I’m pretty seasoned and don’t cry easily in movies and series. I have bawled during this one. Great cast, direction, cinematography, action, and themes. Perfect closure. This is one of the best series by any country and deserving of another season, which is not true of most. That’s how good the production, writing, direction, and acting are.
