This in 1 of good dramas. very entertaining. Lee Seung Ki acted very good in this drama. once he can be so annoying, spoiling, but he can also be wise & a gentleman.
I never get bored watching LSK’s drama. And this is 1 of his best dramas too.

First watched this drama loved it. But then I saw Camp 14 and read and watched some other films about North Korean and am having a hard time believing the North Korean side of this story. The depiction of North Korea in this drama seems as much of a fantasy as Disneyland.
