agree @tagalog salita

I guess they don’t get episodes of Law & Order in Korea.

Rating very undersatandable. Just like Producer , this Drama is not that interesting at all. Lead actress had the same affect for years now . JSW was wrongly paired with her. Seen her in several Dramas and acting remain the same that makes this Drama less interesting to viewers. Sorry but this is my own opinion !
June 19th, 2015 at 12:19 pm
@Scorpio23, correction ,it’s not her that’s making the ratings low. It’s because of the script,director and producer. Plus everyone has different interest as well. Viewers NEVER complained about the actors/actresses. they ONLY complained about the mess of a writing this was (Which is was until ep 6 and up). Comments like “This is a waste of Kim Sun Ah talent” “I love the cast, but the writing is sloppy”, “This wasn’t the right come back for Kim Sun Ah”. But you want to point fingers, some is saying JSW is boring and some others said “he’s a slime-ball” I can’t bother to write some of the others since I like him. Also KSA is one of Korea’s best. Heck, she’s getting praise for her acting skills even in this drama, so that “same affect” seems to be keeping her up there with other A list actors/actresses (well in mine and Korea’s eyes that is). This doesn’t hurt her much. Also, it gets much better at ep 5. I’m at ep 10 and the writing has gotten much better. This is also my own opinion.

Maybe the viewers in Korea doen’t like the plot of the story but me I still love watching this coz I love Kim Sun Ah and Joo San Wook. I like the cast! I hope the rating improves.

@rvcrose…. I have to agree with you, and I actually love the storyline. Maybe it’s a little complicated since a lot of people opt in and out of some dramas, but this one you have to pay attention and keep track of the story. The good guys are beating the crooks at their own game, and have the bad people scrambling to figure out what the heck is going on? Ha! I love it. Episode 10 is awesome, and the good guys really have the upper hand.

If you have this drama for sale, let me know and i will buy it.

@tru2yu–I agree that at times it has a lot to do with the directors who should be guiding the actors to bring out the best action. Then too, it could be the director not seeing what the writer had in mind. There are many issues, but when things work out (Healer, Angry Mom, Shark etc.) then we enjoy the drama. I’ve seen JSW in other dramas & liked him, no doubt handsome & charismatic, but I have a hard time seeing him as an “action hero”. For me, when he was on Qualification of Men he didn’t seemed no so athletic.

[MY OPINION]
I see two proven-star-quality actors struggling to make something worthy of the viewers out of something that was witten NOT worthy for viewing.
Honestly, the writing on this drama is realy bad. The storyline is dull.
Once again, Korean Law Enforcement is played as unskilled and ineffective–always one or more steps behind the criminal mind.

Unnie sunny.. why do you have to play in this drama? To be honest, the script of drama is too terrible. I’m sorry unnie, i have to stop watching at ep 9. I miss your style in acting as in drama “my name is kim san soon” or movie “s diary, etc”. Actually you didn’t have chemistry with JSW. Why didn’t you decline this drama? For JSW.. you look like an old man with your brown hair. If you color your hair with black one, you will look much younger than your brown hair

Joo Sang Wook – awesome and versatile actor, diverse roles; always takes on challenging three dimensional roles instead of the stereotypical roles. A fantastic actor worth watching!
June 30th, 2015 at 12:10 pm
boring.
June 30th, 2015 at 11:26 pm
The only reason i’m watching this drama is bec i need some eye candy (JSW) after a loooong tiring day…i dont even understand half of what’s happening…i just stare at the TV following JSW’s movements and somehow, crazy as it may seem, but it relaxes me!
July 2nd, 2015 at 6:31 pm
i love JSW and KSA. but i think is not good idea if JSW and KSA be paired together. they don’t have any chemistry 🙁
JSW perfectly match if be paired with min jung, hys or with any other who have typical spoiled heheh

I noticed that “intelligent” drama’s never get high ratings. This is an awesome drama that makes you think. The actor’s and actresses play their roles flawlessly. Kudos everyone!

I will never watched this drama because the main leads are not attractive anymore and when they get older, their actings are getting sloppy. Especially Kim Sun Ah, had been thru so many plastics surgery still looked ugly, she should take roles as mother or aunty.
Even with Joo Sang Wook, she still looks like an aunty to him.

same plot as Daredevil and Zoro..

It’s not the actress’ fault if the ratings were low nor the writers. It may be boring to some but these kind of dramas require patience and intelligence. It doesn’t merely revolve about having romance, it was wisely written. Also both of them did great in terms of acting. KSA has always been a great actress since she debuted. No one’s at fault, koreans are always interested on romance that’s why.
PS: Not all korean actresses at the age of 40 get the chance to be on the lead role, that means KSA is still on vogue. :))

For those who were saying that she keeps on playing the same role/character/personality, maybe you just seen Sam Soon, try watching other dramas of her like Scent of a woman (as a dying and weak lady), City Hall (clumsy and vocal lady) and I do, I do (she was a femme fatale). Those roles were really different with each other. It was like watching different actress because of her versatility.

It’ll be good drama if not because wrong female lead
