I really wanted to like this series a lot more. It has an interesting premise, a relatable and sympathetic main character, and a relatively good production value.

The good: Generally good acting - at least by the Korean actors. For some reason the non-Korean actors seem to have very little acting ability. A good supporting cast, particularly the feisty NIS agent. Occasionally witty and funny dialogues. Believable actions and reactions of people.

The bad: Shaky camera work. Please stop with this - unless you really know what you're doing, just don't use it. In this case, the shakiness is sloppy and detracts from the action rather than adds to it. I actually ended up having a headache when watching those scenes.

Noteworthy: One of the central characters speaks pretty good Arabic and Spanish, which is keeping in line with their role. Kudos to the series producers for doing this. It might seem like a small detail, but it is a really important one that makes this series believable.

Rating: A solid 7 for now with the hope that the series will improve. I enjoy underdog stories, so naturally I'm rooting for this series to get better.

The story is really interesting and well written. The acting is also very good. However the end is really disappointing. Number one it's really vague and it makes the viewer curious but offers no answer (so I guess you can make your own judgment). Number two it's really dense. A lot of story happens in a short amount of time (time of the episode). Overall I recommend it and it's a very good series

First of all i would like to give my rating for this show. It would have been a 10/10 cause it's perfect in everything.

But due to it's unfinished ending I can't...so 9/10.

The ending was just not complete! And I really can't get it! Writers have had 16 episodes to give a complete ending to their story. So the protagonist as much the viewers to have a closure to their feelings.

But no... Writers chose to develop a really dense last episode (which honestly that would have wanted a whole second season) and end it roughly, leaving unanswered questions for the viewers , unknown feelings.

I wonder why this ending has been chosen by the writers , especially when a second season is not to follow.

Really excellent, amazing show in everything but I hated the unfinished ending of the last episode.

I think I wasted 16 hours watching what will happen next..but the ending is zero with no justice served to the real culprits, no abrupt end, till episode 15 everything will be okay..but just in one episode they wrapped it up all..without any end..actually ,one will never accept how the story ends.. disappointed. Anyway 9 stars are for the story ,how it goes till 15th episode, the brilliant acting of the cast and the cinematography..16th episode is simply waste of time...

Male lead and female lead are both in my favour. Their acting is beyond doubt terrific. Action scene is captivating too.

But seems to me the plot has bugs. I do not think a terrorist attack could so easily be mistaken as accident. And between the exciting action scenes there are boring scenes.

The drama also makes me think of Iris, an extragravant production by LBH. It is also shot in Europe. In term of such big production the plot seems better and much closely tied.

Anyway I still have much hope on the series. Hope it turns out to become a memorable drama.
