I find it fine with the male role but not the female. Can’t accept her expressionless face. Story line is too weak, no excitement.

so bored

I love the scene most : when finally Gil Ro caught Seo Won’s action her NIS’ mission; scrutinizing Han Jo Man’s company document being saved at home, which notifying his involvement in crime, in perfect time measure … both had great facial expression : mixing between disbelieve, painful … it was beyond my expectation; but it was great!
Gil Ro reveals his being NIS agent though Seo Won not believe him, and the other way around … fast battle utterances … fast movement of tackling to each other … but after finally successfully convinced each other for separation; both cried in deep painful … Gil Ro on set inside the house, Seo Won in the outside of the house …
although any one may say that this serial has no story line, or say it boring? I personally thought otherwise … because actually it has. Every character has reason to do what they have to do … it related to the past, the crime … although viewers only presented by limited flashback *reasons why there is NIS ? or why the lead couple let unaware of each other being in the same org-NIS? *
What I love from this story : every body has finally reached their consciousness : reached a good-understanding *from mis-understanding*… even the spy side : melted in the warm heart of the targeted victims …

Even every comment judge the lead actress in Bridal mask, I can still enjoy that drama verymuch. But it’snt work here, Maybe because there s no chemistry between them here (agree #458), Jo woon always good in acting, I love him in baker king, ojakyo bro n bridal mask…but L7CS emmm…I don’t know, there is no chemistry between me n that drama at all ,lol
), that’s why I can’t enjoy it, I just watched the first 5 eps n final eps.. I thoughtt this drama has Great story n good actor/actress too…but I can’t excite my interest on that drama… Otoke dong!! gantung bo!! that’s my opinion!

I like it, this drama. Initially, I was skeptical whether to watch it or not. Since I have taken a liking to the male lead actor from his past drama and now his fan. I decided to give a shot. It is light, funny, entertaining and romantic. Who said that there were not plot behind it. It’s about revenge by some children who grew up with hatred towards someone misdeed done by the secret services to their parent. Also, I saw the prejudice toward the lead actress looks and her age. She is an actress, she is playing a role, her real age does not matter, it her performance. She played her part. I do admit there there were flaws in the story line. It’s just a story for entertainment purpose only. She did confesses to him and told him that it up to him whether to trust her or not. The truth will be reveal once everything ended and they can take that trip together.
In the end, they still could not tell each other the truth when they were assign to a mission, it just the nature of their job. Regardless, who she is or was, he love her and accepted her.
Love this drama.

I just started watching this drama and i like it at first since the lead actor is so good and the story line at the beginning is quite exciting but in the next few episodes, there are scene that gets me bored. It’s just quite sad that this drama seems to fall in the end. I hope I just got a wrong perception, since I haven’t finished watching it.
