I'll be honest. I mainly watched this drama because 1) I was fan-girling Lee Jin Wook (I mean SERIOUSLY!!) 2) It's a TVn drama, so I was fairly sure I was going to get more than a shocked-eyed-lip-press for my 20 hour investment.
That being said, here's what I thought. The story line was crazy all over the place. Although K-dramas tend to be fairly predictable, I was actually really surprised about many of the events that happened. Not surprised enough to pull a stupid Choi Jin Chul face (omg), but on edge throughout. The romance between the OTP was doled out in satisfying amounts here and there. Just when I'd get to thinking, I need some romance..it'd turn up! The last episode was my favorite, though the very ending was kind of...?!?
I LOVED the friendships between Sun Woo, Young Hoon, as well as, Sun Woo and Chul Min. I thought the actor playing the young Sun Woo was actually pretty awesome, too. On a sort of side note here, I kind of wish we could have seen a part of Min Young's life that didn't revolve around Sun Woo..I mean I know she came over from the US..but doesn't she have ANY friends??
It'd be hard to rewatch this drama because I really think the element of surprise is what grabbed me for this one. All in all, though, I'd rank it in the top 5 for 2013, for sure.
