What should i say first? the fact that i watched this until episode 16 means i think its a good drama. but i have mix feelings about this.
Whats good about this? The casting!! Kim Myung Soo, Kwon Na Ra, Lee Yi Kyung , Lee Tae Hwan and most other actors in the drama are absolutely the best. i guess that is what makes me want to watch it until the end. and the other best thing is that the story is a new and a refreshing aspect in historical dramas. Not everyday u see dramas about secret royal agents.....
But the downside is that the story lack momentum, and the dialogues are poorly written. at several points i felt like the writer just copy pasted lines from various other historical dramas and decided to jumble them together. (i'm not telling that the writer did that) the dialogues are cliche and lack originality to a point where i was actually rolling my eyes at the absurdity.
and at times i felt the actors desperate effort to create chemistry among the characters but failing due to the poor written story structure.
but of course if u ignore all this, watching will be a fun ride and a definitely something new to watch. The dialogues maybe cliche but the plot is not. in fact the plot is super interesting.
and the OST!!!! loooved it !!!!
