Shows like this don’t usually make it to my watchlist because it’s too close to reality (TV for me is for relaxation and escapism). The first episode is particularly hard knowing what’s gonna come next. Impulsive actions, alcohol, drugs and a stranger looking for trouble—just two of these together is a recipe for disaster. What more when it’s all four combined.

As expected, the overall production quality is superb and the acting is topnotch. The storyline really is all you need to decide on.

For me, my love for Cha Seung Won (though he looks old and sleazy here) compels me to complete this til its potentially dreary end. The series is short enough for me to put up with it. It helps also that his character is written sympathetically.

So if you’re a fan of either of the two leads (Kim Soo Hyun and CSW), then take a peek and see if it’s for you too.
