For one never knows if he'll offer a hug one second and stab you in the back with the next. And it's precisely how easy that smile lights his face that makes him a dangerous spy. He's a master of disguise charming and sweet, who has been groomed from a very young age in the art of deceit. He's Ah Reum's current husband and a corporate spy working for an underground group who's wanted by Interpol. Don't get me wrong, he's always a sweet character, but he's ultimately the most boring. And let's just say there are even a few occasions where I wondered if he was referred to as the "ace" in a sarcastic way. Outside of his love for Ah Reum, however, there's nothing of substance to his character. He's a master of combat, smart, and loyal but he's also emotionally-driven, ridden with guilt, and lonely due to his sacrificial nature. Unlike your typical Male Lead, Ji Hoon has been written with enough flaws to balance his strengths. And she starts to showcase some flaws as we cross into the second half, during which she's shown to be self-centered, petty, and judgemental.Īn undercover Interpol agent who's introduced as the ace of his team and Ah Reum's ex-husband. Her wishy-washy attitude towards the male leads certainly doesn't help. Unfortunately, after a while, her character just falls flat and becomes boring. That doesn't mean she doesn't feel hurt when she figures out both men lied to her, but rather that she isn't defined by that pain. Credit where credit is due, the writer managed to keep Ah Reum from becoming the "victim" of the male leads' deceitfulness. For a Female Lead, Ah Reum is always actively involved in the plot and, one could even say she one-ups both Male Leads on multiple occasions. MAIN CHARACTERS: Simple, dull, and unengagingĪn ambitious wedding dress designer who works hard to keep her business afloat, Ah Reum is not only smart, charming, and hardworking but she's also stubborn, uncompromising, and committed to a cause. While we could blame the incorporation of comedy as one of the weakest points, it's the bland characters that hurt this drama the most. Unfortunately, there's nothing memorable about this drama aside from the depiction of a consistently strong Female Lead, who just so happens to also be kind of boring and a bit self-centered. Yet Kang Ah Reum's character becomes the best thing about this show and the heart of the story until we cross into the second half. And to a certain extent, the story begins with them. If you go by the summary, one would imagine this show to be Male-centric, since we know right off the bat that the Male Lead and Second Male Lead are both secret agents on opposing sides. The trail leads her to reconnect with Ji Hoon, her ex-husband, and then later to suspect Derek Hyun, her current husband, of being involved in her friend's death. In the wake of a tragedy, Ah Reum decides to unofficially investigate the suspicious circumstances of her friend's death. When the job goes south, Ji Hoon is forced to keep a close eye on Ah Reum (the FL), reigniting his feelings for her in the process. Jun Ji Hoon (the ML) is an Interpol undercover agent working on a case that involves his Ah Reum's (his ex-wife's) close friend. A well-structured but boring watch PLOT: Starts entertaining, but sizzles out pretty darn fast
