Yes it was a good story..again fresh from the box….
Reflects reality about politics and media…
An eye opener to a cruel world of politics and media…
A job well done for Lee jun ki….and the rest of the cast…
Hope for another sorts of fresh ideas/stories and not all about dramas and romances and tragedies….
And for me it was on my best of the best top ten list of 2009
Over-all its was excellent….aja aja fighting c:

Indeed a great drama… The plot of the story is great and the cast too.. Don’t understand why the rating is low.. Also, the sole reason why I watched this drama is because of Lee Jun Ki.. He is such a great actor!!! Love this drama so much..

Since I admire Lee Joon Ki, I started watching this drama. So far it’s quite good. I first saw him when he did an interview at fondue something in Japan. He seemed so intelligent and introspective I searched him out and found his work to be impressive. Worth following his career.
