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.
April 8th, 2013 at 9:52 pm
so bored
April 9th, 2013 at 5:09 pm
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 …

the drama is really great…but they fall in love too fast which i didn’t like at all…. and the lead actress wasn’t good for joo won….
as for joo won he is always good in everything….and everything he performs…….acting, looks…which made me crazy about him….he is so cool and cute plus funny in 1 NIGHT 2DAYS….I hope his another drama would come fast…

I think i can’t feel the act chemistry between joo won and choi kang hee..that’s why i can’t enjoy this drama..(⌣́_⌣̀) I prefer choi kang hee acting on “protect the boss”..

April 25th, 2013 at 12:07 pm
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! 😉
April 25th, 2013 at 5:40 pm

April 29th, 2013 at 1:11 am
Just finished watchin’ this series. I love it and enjoyed much.. It made my day;)
May 5th, 2013 at 4:54 am
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 love this drama….. cute ending!!! love joo won!!!
May 17th, 2013 at 4:43 pm
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.
May 19th, 2013 at 1:28 am
just finish this drama… dunno about the messy storyline but I find choi kang hee and jo won soo match with their role… love both of them 🙂
May 27th, 2013 at 10:17 am
it’s kind of funny. joo won is great but the actress is terrible, she needs a lot more training before becoming a lead actress. don’t care for her look either.
May 27th, 2013 at 10:21 pm
Don’t blame the actress TOTALLY. She may be not appropriate to be Joo Won’s partner in this drama cause of its age gap. But Choi Kang is a very respectable and highly praised actress in Korea. So don’t finger at her alone.
Look at the STORYLINE, SCRIPT, etc. Find what’s wrong with this drama on that aspects and you will see why this drama ended with a negative ratings from a very high ratings.
If you can’t see what I am referring too, then it’s your choice. It just means that your viewing habit is for entertainment only.

i like this series! not sure why the ratings declined towards the end as it is shown there but to me, nothing’s wrong with this one. perhaps the story got a little bit flat in the middle and perhaps that’s why the ratings were down, maybe the writer tried to make it a bit more complex and thus stretching it a bit longer but then losing the..not sure how to say it, the tension? the thrill? the suspense? – just the sense of “what’s next, what’s next..?” that should have overwhelmed the audience, to always make them wait impatiently for the next scene…
to me the actresses are not ugly, but they are “made” to be ordinary-looking since they are working as civil servants and i think the real civil servants, in reality, are more “ordinary” looking, even boring hehe.. e.g. I saw Kim Min Seo (Sun Mi) in another series-Baby-Faced Beauty- and she looked very different there, a different person entirely. I also saw Kang Hee in Protect the Boss, she looks younger here of course because she was supposed to be younger. I think she has good chemistry with Joo Won. All in all, I think they all have done a good job – the cast, the director, the writer and of course the crew….
October 17th, 2013 at 12:47 pm
very love it this drama…
love..love…joo won..

I havnt watched this drama yet, but i am certain i will like it and learn one ot two things from it…its a pity that MAN is such a vain creature…why so much comment on the looks and the age of the actress…i am looking at the posters for the drama now and the actress looks good to me…not a beauty but stll looks okay…please all learn to appreciate people despite their looks, age or even race…we all will grow older one day and certainly we dont all look like a beauty queen or will remain forever young…cheers!
