I seriously can’t wait for this drama. It has God’s gift vibes. 😛

@Ailee #1 yea, it reminds me of God’s gift 14 days! sounds interesting! I think Kim Hyun Joo is great choice as the main character just like Lee Bo Young, but i will give Kim Ah Jung a chance.

@Timmy It definitely does sounds interesting and I personally love both actresses, so I’m okay with both, though I want to see KAJ in challenging role as this. 😉

This drama looks okay and might watch the first few episodes.
June 4th, 2016 at 11:59 pm
This looks like combine between “God’s Gift 14 Days” (staring Lee Bo Young and Jo Seung Woo) and “Liar Game” (staring Lee Sang Yoon and Kim So Eun). Is it this time to see Uhm Tae Woong back to act after reality show “Superman Returns”?? after “Valid Love” two years ago. Not a long time to see Kim Ah Joong since her last drama “Punch” finished in early month last year and Ji Hyun Woo in “Awl” last year. Hoping for not just a solving mystery case story only and solid acting from actors and actresses.

I still enjoy watching this show. I missed ep 3, so it’s a little bit confuse me, but it’s ok now.
I like the way the actress deliver her emotions and portray her character.
Storyline is good and bgm make it better.

Wanted was a decent watch. Pacing was okay but slows down a bit in the second half. Story was interesting but the characters weren’t developed well. Nothing exceptional but still a good enough watch.
