First off let me just say that I don't watch many action/conspiracy dramas so my experience in this genre is not so extensive. And maybe that's the reason why I was able to enjoy it this much.

I liked the flow of the story and how it kept me guessing, the unpredictable twists and turns, and the emotionally-loaded decisions the main characters had to make.

LSG once again proved his chops as an action star, the stunts were thrilling and tension filled. It was also nice to see Shin Shung Rok as a good guy this time.

I didn't like the actress who played Jessica that much but it was something I could live with.

All in all I found this to be a great drama. The lack of romance didn't bother me at all.
