Trang L @RT37686218 Nov 14 Riveting storyline and well written. Note: the story is obviously FICTION, so as long as you accept that , you will enjoy the show. The chemistry between the two leads is palpable and sexy as hell! Action scenes are really fun to watch and well choreographed. The American actors can actually act, compared to alot of other Kdramas who hire Americans who don't know how to act at all. I would say this is one of my favorite Kdramas.
