She is the rose. He is the gun. This mini drama is about the female lead who is a femme fatale spy on a mission to avenge her family while the male lead happens to be connected to it all.

POSITIVE:
- Morally grey main leads.
- Hot kiss scenes. The male lead actor always delivers. Trust me on that (I’m looking at episode 2).
- Manipulative, deceptive, femme fatale female lead.
- Bad boy, obsessive and a bit of a red flag male lead.
- Sensual and a bit angsty vibes (it’s definitely not as toxic as typical republican dramas).
- Engaging undercover mission/revenge plot. The focus is on the plot rather than the romance. Yes the story is fast paced and may feel rushed but for a short drama I was happy with the script.
- Lots of gun scenes (staying true to the title).
- Nice cinematography. I liked the colouring, hair, make up and outfits. The female lead is absolutely stunning.
- Mr. Wu, clearly an actress playing a man. She even has make-up on. Certainly a very interesting side character especially for a cdrama.

NEGATIVE:
- Obsessively in love male lead. His love confession in episode 2 is very abrupt and feels too insta-love. We do get a flashback later and explanation of why he fell for her but still, his strong love lacks depth. He does kind of hate her afterwards so at least the tension between them is on point.
- Funny car accident in episode 2. You just have to close your eyes at some of the “logic”.
- Final episode is an epilogue which is ok but kind of pointless. Instead of that, I would have preferred an episode where we see more of how the main leads fell for each other.

OVERALL:
Don’t expect too much. If you want an entertaining mini drama with undercover spy plot + hot kisses, watch this.
