I watched the 2008 version and I liked it. I just thought it could have been longer. So when I came across this version I was pretty hopeful that this would bring some kind of improvement to the 2008 one. But I was completely wrong. really wanted to give this series a chance and was prepared to ignore the ostentatious special effects. Especially since this version has a unit where the members are female constables. Instead, I fast forwarded after episode 20.

The fantasy element makes this version like a Disney version. Flashy with no substantial plot. I hated the colorful visual effects which looked gaudy. The effects masked the poor fighting choreography. The plot is all over the place. I was looking forward to see a few or at least one badass female warrior, instead, these female constables were busy plotting plans for something trivial such as bullying a girl who was seen as a threat to their superior's chance to get the love of her life. And this superior wasn't even a mature, brilliant, and badass female constable. She's mentally weak. She turned evil when her love was unrequited. So stereotypical. Why do they always make a heroine whose love is unrequited a bitter, evil, cold-blooded female warrior? Why couldn't they make a stronger female character who is capable to adversity and comes out as a successful female warrior despite failed romance?

The characters, Heartless, Cold Blood, Chaser, and Iron Fist have no personality whatsoever. And I was continuously felt annoyed with the portrayal of Heartless. He looks weak and melancholic. Not at all intelligent and cool like the 2008 version. The story quickly turned into a cheesy and corny love story rather than a story of 4 heroes trying to solve a conspiracy.

The only thing I like about this drama is the costume. The constables' costume look really amazing. Other than that, this is a very disappointing drama.

DISCLAIMER: I haven't read the novel so I don't know which version is close to the novel, the 2008 version or this.
