The "love story" between Pildo and Jiwoo was written on a lousy way, they had little to none development as a couple throughout the 8 chapters the series lasted. Their interactions weren't enough to build a belivable relationship for this viewer's eyes. I found Ahn Bohyun's character kind of disappointing since I was a expecting a strong leading role and he were given nothing but a supportive role instead. He did good at portraying the "good cop", tho. The writer did Park Heesoon's character SO dirty at the end, making a powerful mafia lord turn into a whining creature (what with that scene of him crying because jiwoo didn't get on time to fucking murder him???). But, well, probably it was their way to make him human. Han Seohee ATE the role, she single-handedly saved the series. It never crossed my mind that she could fit an action role son well, both her acting and physical skills suprised me. And for the story... I think it would've been better for a loger drama.

They focused on the wrong thing.

I am not gonna lie, I started watching this just because the bodyguard x protégé trope is a cliché I have always been obsessed with. The eight stars rate I am giving here is definitely more than what the drama as a whole deserves, but the acting of the male lead and the female antagonist, plus the well executed action/fight scenes that I found really entertaining to watch deserved a shout out. There were so many lose ends, plot holes and unnecessary scenes (speaking of with, I would like to remark the romantic ones) that it makes so obvious that the screenwriter and the director just focused on the wrong thing. No one actually cared about the female lead, I think. We all were cunning for the "Evil Queen". Should have they exploited the amazing chemistry between Jeha and Yoojin , it would have worked for the better. I love when thrillers have a little romance, but, man, it needs to be well written to avoid forcing things up: everything about Anna and Jeha felt, I don't know, a little ridiculous. Yoonah's poor interpretation didn't help at all, she was kind of a weak counterpart for Ji Changwook who single-handedly stole the scene. This is when you notice the difference between an actor and an idol. IN CASE ANYONE IS PLANNING TO RETELL THIS FAIRYTALE (AGAIN): WRITE ROMANCE THE RIGHT WAY OR LEAVE IT ASIDE.
