Park Min Jun 08 2024 8:52 pm Terrible pacing and build up, it took 2/3 of its run before it started rolling. The story was decent enough but it didn't deliver any real impactful moments despite the subject it was handling. The ending was a slight stretch just for the sake of ending it.

gt Aug 25 2015 8:53 am Beautiful story. More interesting then the title. This role fitted Hong Ki well.
