If this drama continues to be this interesting until the end, I will definitely add it to my very short list of favorite kdramas of all time, which includes D.P., My Mister, Prison Playbook, Reply 1988 and Misaeng: Incomplete Life.

So far, the story is very interesting and every episode leaves me hanging and wanting for more. All the actors are amazing. Blackpink Jisoo is doing a great job for a rookie actress. Tbh, I didn't expect much from her since this is her first lead role and only had cameos in her acting resume. But I did find her acting to be very natural. Jung Haein is phenomenal, as always! I can see why he was cast as Im Sooho: he has the duality of being charming and innocent-looking one moment, and then turning cold and ruthless the next. I love that he is getting roles that show his range and versatility. He is an actor who can convey a myriad of emotions through his eyes.

I'm aware of the controversy surrounding the drama but I hope people will give it a watch and then judge for yourselves if the allegations are true. So far, I didn't see any glorification of North Korea, the regime at the time and the ANSP. They're clearly the bad guys here.

I hope it doesn't get cancelled as it's a compelling drama. The story is very interesting, and with its many twists and turns, you really have no clue which way it will go. The production is top-tier. The cinematography is outstanding. The OST is beautiful. I highly recommend it!
