This drama is amazing! It keeps you in suspense from the first episode to the last. In fact, the viewer knows that ML will not die, at least not half of the drama, yet the tension is so built that an experienced drama viewer like me was kept in suspense and curiosity about how this suspenseful scene would unravel. After all, other heroes could have died. This is one of the few dramas that really caught me on the screen and waiting for the next episode was a torment of uncertainty. I loved ML immediately, because he had that something, a combination of boyish charm and masculine charm. I love such spies :)
I haven't watched this drama for the second time. Not because the mysteries were already resolved and the tension wasn't the same, but rather because the tension still remained and I know I would get myself into a really strong adventure and I'm not in the mood for it. While I don't like Republican Era dramas, I don't regret even one minute devoted to Sparrow drama.
