Opinions

For me, I really like the fact that a man whom live a meaningless life came back to life to fight for his loved one. The story is unique, different from the typical korean drama, but I have to say that throughout the drama, I stop at episode 10 for quite sometime. At first I didn't have the time to watch it, but after a week or so, I went back to finish it. The point is, if it was a good story, you will want to keep watching it. I'm not saying it's not good, but sometime the drama can be a bit draggy with the explanation of the things that the villains was planning to do. We never get to know it until at the end of the drama, which actually is interesting. For those people who are not really keen to hear such long dialogues, the drama will bored you pretty fast.

The good thing about the story is that we are able to watch what happen everyday for two weeks in Tae San's escape. We get to see his character develop as he overcomes the obstacles that he faced. We also got to see the different side of Tae San whom actually possessed a good and kind heart. He had many regrets and experiences which mold him to be that person who lived his life mindlessly. 

Apart from that, I would like to give credit to Kim Hye Ok who'd play Jo Seo Hee as a corrupted politician. Her acting was believable, and I sometimes have that tendency wants to punch her in the face. (muahahahahhahah!!) She's a bad person who is calm and can turn your words against you. Even though on the outside, she may look nice and fragile, but the truth is the other way round. 

Another character that I like is Mister Kim acted by Song Jae Rim. (Picture below)

At first I didn't like him, but throughout the drama, he kinda grows on me. First, because I like the character and he keeps me wondering where he came from or his background because he would kill everyone that is in his way. He's good in acting out as a heartless assassin who do anything that is instructed by his boss, Moon Il Seok. Second, because he's handsome. (Ghahahahhahaha!! <3<3<3) I wish he would act more in drama's or as the main actor in an action or suspense drama. 

The climax of the drama was predictable. I already knew what the next step that were going to happen and it just kills the thrill. Maybe because I've watch too much action movies and drama. Oh well! 

The ending was a bit confusing and I was hoping for a clear ending as in who did In Hye choose in the end, Tae San or the detective. But I think at the end is that, In Hye chooses Tae San because the detective said to her that, "Don't leave him alone. He is someone you will never be able to hold onto you." In my opinion means, that Tae San will always be feeling guilty towards In Hye and Soo Jin for not being able to give them a good life and will decide to walk away from them to have a better life without him. I think the detective can't ignore the feelings of three of them and decided to take a step back. Mad respect for you detective! 

All in all, it was a pretty good drama to watch even though there were some draggy parts. Anyhow, if you were in Tae San's situation, when your loved ones are in jeopardy, I think you would do exactly what he did in the drama.

Wouldn't you? <3<3<3
