Why I watched it: Lee Jong Suk and I needed a break between Sageuks.
Was it worth it: Yeah.
What I liked the most: I knew nothing going in, so I appreciated the unique plot gimmick.
What I disliked the most: The story got a little hairy towards the end and I checked out for a bit.
Moment Meter: 6/10 – Lots of good ones, especially at the beginning.
Other thoughts: My jury is always out about Jong Suk’s acting ability. Is he really a good actor? Or am I subconsciously forgiving of it because of his very appealing face? I don’t trust myself there. That aside, I really liked the premise of the story. It was unique and I’m a sucker for suspended belief. At times the technicality of things slowed the story down a bit, but it was also somewhat necessary too due to the unusual story. Han Hyo Joo did an awesome job and I found her to be very likable. This is another one where you really have to pay attention or you will quickly find yourself lost.
Conclusion: The story line was unique and the actors were gorgeous. A little better than your run-of-the-mill drama, but not a chart-topper for me.
