Nevertheless, I was glad that completed it, because the final was quite strong. If you watched 'That winter...', you will understand my feelings. By the way, both dramas have that changing from fake feelings to true love. But 'That winter...' is more realistic, I suppose. In 10s of XXI century I can't bear with Brazilian soap operas' plot twists. I admire the fact, that koreans are progressing so fast in making good dramas, but they still have a lot things to improve.
As for actors. It can't be denied that Song Joong Ki did a great job. His changing during the story was so striking! He is now one of my favorite asian actors.
I also liked the main female antagonist, Jae Hee. Her choice was immoral, but It's part and parcel of everyday's life. No doubt, you have heard of plenty girls aimed to hit the jackpot by all means.
Supporting characters (Kan Ma Roo's friend and his younger sister, Jae Hee's brother) were great too.
Drama is worth be watched (or listened - wonderful instrumental music themes!) , but still is very far from perfection.

Idea of the show is GOOD, a lot. What about realization... plot is captivating, you are hooked and so on, but some things were a bit annoying. First, have they heard of fingerprints or DNA? Lots of such silly details ruined the credibility.
Second, too much episodes in general (i'd stopped on 16) and two much series devoted to cat-and-mouse between Big Good and Big Bad. For these two years police haven't had any other cases... I wanted to see them. Like two eps about suicides in high school. They were great and very korean, where teens' suicides is an urgent question.
Third, lack of flashbacks about Hades (which I suppose, could be very interesting) and lots of annoying flashbacks which were on non-stop repeat. Some parts were shown about ten times in case that you have an amnesia.
And last...So Ji Sub is a very talented actor, but I didn't notice much difference between his characters here (If you know, which I mean)
What was AWESOME (no comments, just pluses):
-OST
-tension
-unpredictable plot
Bitchy Cow and other supporting characters
-good final
Sum: worth watching in many aspects.
Common sense is advised to be not ignored during the process of watching)

That's why I'll try to make it shortly. The story is very good. Maybe sometimes even naive - to bring a small girl into the gail in a ban box! - and toooo cute . But! The plot here is intentionally exaggerated and does not pretend to seem 'real' (air ballon scene is very representative). The main things are, of course, the human relationship, which can help an outcast to survive in such a hell and and parents' love, which sometimes can drive they mad.
What i really appreciated was acting. It made this story sincere and touching. The atmosphere of 90s was depicted quite well ( 'Sailor Moon' theme is a such story was very very funny and, moreover, symbolistic - ' I bring justice' )
So, ladies and gentlemen, I dare say you'll be satisfied:)
