I loved every second of this show. I have watched shows about crime and to do with crime before but never something quite like this. I never wanted to stop the show not even once. This show was very difference from anything else I have watched. It made me happy, sad, mad and more. They did a great job with the idea of the story, the script, the translation and the acting in the story. The makeup, hair and outfits were super well done. The setting were all good. I didn’t see the big plot twist coming but it was really well done and great. I liked the plot twist a lot. I think it worked super well. There not one thing I hated about the show. Everything was good. I felt the show was well pace and the ten episodes was just enough for what need to be done. It wasn’t too little of eps or too many. While I want watch the show I felt like as the saw the celebrity felling in love with the girl he had gotten Stockholm syndrome and that why he was felling in love with her. But I looked passed that and still loved the show a lot. I couldn’t believe the the main celebrity of this show had a fake girlfriend for three year and she was the one planning on killing him before the main girl into end accidentally knocking him out (for a while thinking he dead and she needed to cover that up). I would recommend this show to everyone.

I don't even know how to describe this drama. They literally make anything romantic when it's not, and this drama doesn't even make sense. The main lead had a lot of chance to escape but never tries or ends up staying in her house, but when he is being watched or guarded he tries to escape. Just —why.

Although I'm gonna say that out of all Sung Hoon's drama that I've watched, this is the most tolerable. The others are just plain stupid and cringe. I'll rate this 4.5/10. The other characters are good and I like the coloring(?) or the vibe that this drama has.

Name of the Assassin

Does anyone knows the real name and Instagram of the man who tries to kill Sung Hoon?

I really really need it.....
I thought his acting throughout the series was pretty amazing..

Overall, I loved this drama soooooooooooooooooooo much and I don't understand why is it soooooo underrated.?

The cast was amazing... I instantly fell in love with Kim Jong Hoon....He's an amazing actor

As for SungHoon, I've watched almost all his dramas... He's gorgeous...


I love the female lead... I first saw her in Because it's my first life.... I was love her acting...


I highly recommend this drama

Enjoyable

It is a light hearted comedy and if one doesn't take life too serious, it is an enjoyable drama. The enjoyment really comes from your mood.
I was personally looking to simply be entertained. I did not want to think or get emotionally involved. I simply wanted a brain dead drama that will entertain me and this drama fit the bill perfectly.
Many times I laughed at the comedy of errors and irrational logic of Lee Yeon Seo to make this story funny.

I especially liked Kim Ga Eun acting. I have seen her acting in other dramas, but I think the character of Lee Yeon Seo brought extra behavior that I have not seen before. I found it even more funny when as LYS, she was asked to perform as an actor and how BAD she was at acting. I realized at that moment.. Here is an actor who is acting as LYS and acting as an amateur. I thought that was pretty cool.

ok start, slowly going downhill

I liked the actress in King the land, so when i saw her as a lead in a show i was kinda excited, but the excitement fell after about 3 episodes.

The female lead is portrayed as a hardworking down on her luck poor girl and the male lead is a rich a bit egotistic idol that is out of touch with normal life of people. Thats it, there is no real nuance, apart from one bit where the ML says he was poor until he was like 10 years old and then got scouted, but that pretty much didnt have to be there, at least for me it didnt change his character in any way.
The female lead is such a disappointing pushover throughout the whole show with maybe like 2 or 3 scenes of her actually doing something and standing up for herself. She is also portrayed for a bit as some super strong former high school wrestler, but it then goes unused and spolier, when they get attacked and kidnapped she is completely useless and has to be protected. Only after everything was pretty much over she knocked out another girl. Why even bother showing her effortlessly throwing the male lead in the beginning?
The plot had some potential, but the way it was handled was pretty weak. It was only 10 episodes so at least it didnt waste my time too much. Overall it was neither good nor bad, just kinda there, frustrating at times and at times kinda funny.
Kim Ga Eun was pretty, the acting of the cast was ok, just not much to work with.

This drama was just ok not more
The plot was good
The suspense was ok
The story was nice
The romance was very lukewarm and weak

I really didn't even feel the romance scenes
I liked that the ML forgave his CEO

It had happy ending but it wasn't clear enough for me

Does what happened means that the ML left everything and decided to live with the FL till his CEO comes out from jail ??

And si ra got prisoned for how long??
I wasn't satisfied enough for what happened to that B****

Anyway it was just one time watch
But it wasn't cute enough for me to keep it in my favourite list

First drama to skip episodes

Mwa... I expected more of it. This has actually been the first kdrama of which I have skipped episodes. The female lead was kind of annoying to me. No offense, she was just following the script...lol.
I think I skipped like 3 episodes. As of episode 7, it was okay and the story got my attention again.
I have seen several kdramas with Sung Hoon as the male lead. Personally I do not find him attractive, but somehow I do have a weak spot for him, most probably because of his performance in My secret romance, one of my first kdramas.
His acting is not really impressive, but I hope to see him one day in a drama with more depth in his role.

I liked by the way the reference to My secret romance. After the disappointment of this drama, I started to rewatch it. So also something came out of this kdrama :-)

Rare Dark Comedy/Romance

My rating 8/10. This 2018 South Korean Drama spans 10 episodes (~60 minutes/episode). The female lead Kim Ga Eun plays Lee Yeon Seo who works a contract job and is short of realizing her dreams.
Her horrible day and revenge on a horrible boss takes a bad turn when she thinks she is hitting her boss from behind in an alley only to find out she actually hit popular male idol, Kang Joon Hyuk (Sung Hoon). He falls unconscious and she thinks she killed him. So, she decides to take him home to dispose of the body. Joon Hyuk wakes to an alarming scene and thinks he has been abducted by a psychopath. Lee Yeon See decides to keep Kang Joon Hyuk prisoner until she can leave the country.

Spoiler ? This has been described as a dark comedy and I would definitely agree with that. I also read that some felt it was originally intended to run for more episodes (rumor has it) and thus felt rushed at the end. I don't agree with that. I felt like it wrapped up nicely. I think some may struggle to decide whether the love that develops is Stockholm syndrome or a true meeting of hearts. Some of the decisions made by Lee Yeon Seo were hard to understand because they were different than what I would have decided. I rate this a little lower than some others because there are some aspects that are a bit hard to reconcile. However if you are able to stay within the moment and just go along with the fun and unique story you will be able to get past them. Definitely worth the watch and I would bump it up on your list if you are after uniqueness or dark comedy.

no script, no rythme, no offense to the actors

No offense to the actor's and crew except script writer and productor, this is not a well done drama ! Every watcher can focus on different things, so I understand that people can love this trimmer if you focus on on beauty of the actors, and the farce ( répétions humour, situation humour). You should aunt and prefer a good script with amazing ideas and the sense of rythm you will be very disappointed.
Theses two Heroes are too much stupid ! The humour of the situation with escaping tentatives is not creative enough. If you want to do so, please make it subtitle. He can try, no success, she sees it and makes no comment, he feels ashamed. This way is subtitle and the intimiste plot will follow easily. The script focus on escape, it 'd be better to focus on discovering each other, included the neighbor who 'll become the actor bestie. And of course the police work, on following the cop. Or the research of Mir, the main fake culprit.
Everybody knows that when there is a police search, the account are watched and frozen.
I can't identify to thoses stupid characters, du to an illogical script.

I have recently started this drama and I like the whole idea of kidnapping, I love watching criminal dramas with kidnapping because it is interesting to see whether the man will escape or not... I cant wait to see the end,hope it has happy end. The chemistry between the actors is so nice and they make me laugh in every episode, it is really relaxing drama and it is my favorite type...although sometimes the actors overdose with comic situations and make absurd things that cant happen in real life. But it is an interesting plot and i will definitely continue watching this + the cast is so beautiful and fresh.

So I usually like to give myself about 4 episodes of a drama series before deciding to drop a drama, but this one was just too awkwardly painful to continue on for me. The drama had a much darker tone with extremely awkward characters and oddly placed humor. I did not find the dark atmosphere and the comedy to mesh well, which is the main reason I dropped this drama. It made me uncomfortable.

It's really too bad because the premise made the drama sound like something hilarious to be privy to, but I couldn't get passed the writing of this drama to appreciate the story. If you are someone who enjoys darker tones and awkward characters/humor, maybe this is a drama worth giving a shot for you. Now that I'm reflecting on this drama, this might be a drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon fan will appreciate (let me know your thoughts on this connection since I did not finish SWDBS for similar reasons).
