I finally decided to watch it and finished it last night. I wanted to watch it because of Ryu Soo Young. He made me hate his character in the first half of the drama, which was awesome. I tend to be biased and defend them to the bitter end, so I liked that I could hate his character even though I love the actor. <3 And while I did like the drama, it was because of the villains, they made the whole thing so interesting and made me keep watching, the action, and the lack of an overly sappy romance, there was just enough.
I am still not Lee Jun Ki's fan (I'm pretty sure I never will be) and I feel I would have probably cried in the "heart tugging" scenes if it was another actor. I didn't shed one tear, or even get teary eyed, and I'm a crybaby when it comes to dramas.
