Best drama I love this dram<3

@KDaddict I must agree with you it’s not acceptable . Well I guess people do what they think it’s suitable with their problems and related to the right thing whereas the right thing is the total opposite I guess that’s their case they try to relate bad feelings , revenge etc…to the “righteous”.Otherwise they are simply psycopaths .

Somehow JI SK and LCD are in the same situation. Viewers are just taking LCD’s side cuz he is the lead. LCD’s father framed JI SK’s father too . JI sk only did his revenge! then LCD wanted to get revenge too. THE two of them are so similar . They both went through the same pain. I think if JI SK was the lead cast the viewers would take his side.
April 18th, 2013 at 9:24 am
No they’re not the same at all. The fact that Jsk killed this whole family and tried to kill LCD many times. What kind of justice is that? LCD tries to get revenge on sk with justice not trying to kill him. That’s the difference. That’s why sk is not the lead!!! He tried to kill everyone who gets in his way. Has cd killed anyone or intended to kill someone? No!!!

Total agree with kHz, LCD and JSK never can be the same. That is only an excuse for all JSK crime and avarice, take people’s Money (they share to eah other after get it) that is unacceptable. The same as Jea In case, he has tried to appropriate peoples Money from times to time. Is that the right justice?
LCD is trying to keep things follow the right way, criminal must bear the responsibity instead of the innocent and also protect peoples around him.

Weekend finally, waiting anxiously for the final 2 episodes of IOM. Watched the preview of episode 23, Kang Ji Hwan looks exactly like how he looked in ‘Lie To Me’, gosh! very good looking. 😉

i dont think JSK father was framed by the LCD father, there is a scene where JSK and his father talking in the prison (cant recall the ep) his father is begging him not to feel bad about the chairman because he choose to do it(taking responsibility on chairman crime)… so ya JSK and LCD is not the same at all as what Justadream says JSK revenge is greedy while LCD is a righteous revenge or wil say seeking justice…

Among the shows airing currently, this is definitely among the better ones, if not the best. Storyline is intriguing and acting, especially by the older cast (Park Sang Min and Kim Soo Mi) is excellent!
April 22nd, 2013 at 3:23 am
This is the best drama ever and with great ending!! I like Kang Ji Hwan and Hwang Jung Eum. Hope to see more drama from them in the future. Thank you for the writer and producer that produce such a wonderful and exciting drama.
Great job to all!

Hello. I like this drama very much. So funny and exciting. Kangjihwan’s good acting and great actor. He is top excellent. I’m looking forward to see your next project. Coming soon
April 23rd, 2013 at 12:22 am
I just love the ending!Park Sang Min is such a good actor cos he was able to make me loved him in Giant and made me hate him in this drama
Good drama~!

i really like this drama….

Very good ending with all the antagonists getting their respective punishment and our leads getting happily married. The writer has managed to tie up all the loose ends neatly and quite like the way she crafted the ending for the main villian.
Overall, I find this drama so satisfying with strong plot points, fast paced and both the protagonists and antagonists teams so well matched that the drama managed to keep me in suspense and hooked, wanting to know what happens next. Pity Bi Ryung for such a sad ending as she had actually repented.
The only complaint I have for this drama is the lack of skinships and romantic scenes between our OTPs. There was only one kiss scene and that was so mild!

KJH getting more and more manly….
April 26th, 2013 at 10:31 am
THIS DRAMA IS JUST AMAZING !!! IT HOLDS A LOTS OF MEANUNGS!! i ADORED THE END!!! LCD FINILLY SUCCESSED NOT THROUGH REVENGE BUT BY MAKING JUSTICE TAKES ITS RIGHTFUL PATH!! THE CHANGE FROM BEING A CORRUPTED PROSECUTER RO A RIGHTFUL ONE!!
THE ONLY THING THAT WAS A LITTLE WIERD THAT THE WRITTER ENDED IT IN A SHORT WAY!! I MEAN THERE WERE A LOT OF CHANCES WERE LCD COULD4VE BEEN EXPOSED BY EUN BI RYEONG AND JI SK AND GO HO AND GJG . IT WAS A BIT UNREALISTIC. WHAT DO U THINK,
April 26th, 2013 at 10:33 am
oh plus I didn’t want BJI to be fat again after all that effort she made!!!
plus Bok hwa soul getting back to here senses in ht right moments and then back to be sick isn’t too much luck ??

Love the drama and very exciting drama all throughout. Ji Se Kwang really fit to be the murderer and a man with two face, he is real good to be the heartless person in this drama. Lee Cha Don acted best in this series and all the sufferings and tolerant he have had all the years. One of the best action drama so far this year
Hope it will get voted best action drama this year and also for the main characters
