Story: The story sounds pretty promising and original, a girl who can see scenes with her eyes and a man who lost his beloved sister in a bad accident and ever from that, seeks for revenge and answers. In this point, I really liked the "fantasy" style of this drama, and it was a nice and fresh thing. The drama all along was GOOD, not the best, it was written well at first, it was mysterious about those barcodes killing cases, and it was nice to see how those two (Oh Cho Rim and Moo Gak) met and solved the mysteries together. It was really-comedic, light and interesting . My problem was when those episodes turned to be dragged and follow the -drama story line- Two people meet, fall in love-being offical and then the "the reason why we can't be together " . solving this reason and be together. It had it's original points but still felt typical for me. More than that, the story itself was dragged. after knowing the true crimminal, and after trying to find evidences, it was dragged with cheesy-romance moments and the story wasn't too filled. I think that if this drama had 12-13 episodes it could have been better, with no dragging scences . For example the last two episodes felt really forced . (The drama has to be 16 episodes, so "let's try to fill it with things that aren't necessary".) So besides that, the story was light, interesting at points, good action scenes, good filming, some mystery and intense moments ,but also dragged, especially from episode 9-10~ Acting: Yoochun- Well, Yoochun is my favourite actor, so in this point he wasn't disappointing for me as well. He managed to show also serious sides of the character, funny moments (like the comedy skit that was hilarious and -out of character- for him) He's character wasn't boring, he was determinded, funny and serious at the same time, showing few sides of a character, I think it wasn't his best role but he was good for this role. Shin Se Kyung- I don't like her, but she was just "fine" in this drama. I don't think she acted well for her character- her crying scences didn't feel real, and also her laugh felt fake. I'm not saying that she was horrible all the time but when she had to show her feelings (whether sad or happy) she wasn't good. Also her character was a really typical character with nothing new, she wasn't annoying nor unpleasant but just avarage. Nam Gung Min- He was really good. I think that each character I saw from him was really impressive. This time I really could feel the anger inside me . How he acted with he's eyes, and the mimes of his face! Also his character was interesting (I felt that we could have seen more from him, like he's childhood or some backround) but he portrayed his character as written very well! I also liked that he could keep that character until the end. Yoon Jin Seo-didn't see her as a main character but only as a supporting one, she was just fine, I mean that I didn't feel her really necessary (maybe only in the last case of the drama) but she was fine as a supporting- strict but also soft. The other supporting characters- they were funny, all the police officers. I think that in dramas they are shown as a really silly people, but they added to the comedy and to the series. Music: I didn't really feel the music, the songs were fine and fitted to the scenes, also the music in the "intense monents" was fitted and good. Romance: I have a bit problem with that. Those two were supposed to be fated to be with each other, but somehow I didn't really "feel" their love and their "bond". There were some cute moments with them, but I'm not sure how much chemistry the main actors had, I had fun sometimes with the moments but most of the times it was too cheesy, drama like and too dragged to fill the series. I think that in the last episodes it was the most unbearable to watch. But they were a nice couple after all. I liked that for at least we didn't have here "other male/female lead" Rewatch Value: Probably not, it wasn't the best but it was enjoyable. I'm giving it 7.5, because it was typical but also had it's good and original points.
