Episodes: 16
Release Date: April 17 - June 12, 2020
My Rating: 7/10
The lead actor and actress attract me to watch this drama. I heard a lot of complaint since episode 1 but I still watched this drama. The storyline is unique. CG is no problem for me. First time I saw King Lee Gon meets Jeong Tae-Eul, I thought that if it is too fast that he loves Jeong Tae-Eul. It seems unreasonable. After continued the second half, I understood the reason why it is like that. This drama is not too bad as comments on the internet but the story is too complicated. so you need to become detective while you are watching this drama as well. The situation is complicated since the beginning but it seems to be easy at ending instead. Therefore, several things are unreasonable and conflict because the writer attempt to make a happy ending.
I don't complain about the performance of actors and actresses because they perform well. However, I don't feel the chemistry between the lead roles. If you like to unique story and actors/actresss, this may be one of your favourite drama.
