Phew. This drama was hell of a roller coaster! The first few episodes confuse you greatly, making you unsure whether this is supposed to be a comedy or a melodrama. The production of the first few episodes were all over the place. I thought I was thrown back to the early 2000s or something, but then suddenly a couple of episodes later, it smoothes over and you can recognise the "more modern" production. It was weird like that.
Initial confusion aside, this drama tends to go from a wtf lows to a "deabak" highs in a short period of time. I don't think one could call this drama boring. It has too many elements to be called such. There is fight for justice, badass characters, loyalty, conspiracy, politics, romance etc. It has practicallly everything and on a high note too.
The conspiracy and politics are real in this one. I don't think I've ever seen it on such a scale. But it's to be expected. It's on a worldscale after all.
Romance is a true Romeo and Juliet. Both intense and heartbreaking. Half of the time, the leads confuse you so much that you want to smack them, another half you root for them to just be happy.
But this drama is lonely. Very lonely. To be fair, I don't advice watching this while you're in low spirits. It might just bring you down more. It's not a common kdrama angst. It's a bit more scarier, and a bit more complicated. There are so many plotlines that get you invested in, and each one puts a heavy weight on you.
So, watch it when you're in need of something a bit different, if you like conspiracy or intense highs. Watch it if you enjoy strong female leads. Like badass strong. But make sure to watch it for the right reasons. Don't come watching this to cheer you up.
My rating is 8.5 because...it's lonely. It's heavy. And I watched it when I wasn't in the highest spirits. I felt a weight of it for the length of it. But it's definitelly a drama that stands out from the others. And despite what it did to me along the way, it was worth watching it.
