I laughed at the silliness, but it's mostly underwhelming.
Married into a chaebol, Oh Wan Soo (Kim Ha Neul) finds herself tangled in a war of money and power. As her own family threatens her and her marriage, the only person she can rely on is her bodyguard.
There was not much that grabbed me throughout. Although the actions were intriguing, the story and twists were all stale. It focus more on family drama and don’t reveal most characters’ connections and motivation until later.
I’m not satisfied with the premise being a bodyguard romance. The romantic scenes were shoehorned randomly to show us there are feelings between them. Moreover, it doesn’t help that both leads were flat and stoic. Looks alone can’t make me invested if the performance were not gripping. On the other hand, Jung Gyu Woon as Wan Soo’s husband acted very well. I felt for his character. A few things were distracting; choppy editing, especially the black screen transitions, and the very loud music. I think more quiet moments or creepy thriller songs would fit better.
Still, it was entertaining at times. K1, played by Jung Joo Yeon & her stunt girl (if any), was amazing in her actions scenes, such a badass fighter! Also, the over-the-top reactions and the English conversations, are some scenes that got the biggest reaction out of me. Overall, not the worst drama but not one I will recommend either.
