I was pleased even with the ending. Good mystery throughout. As always, Nam Minmoong was superb!

Like most Korean dramas, this was interesting all the way through. Also like many Korean dramas, it had an overly-large cast of characters and stretched on like taffy. And as some have mentioned, the ending was rather sub-par. That fortunately didn't detract from the rest of the show, but would have preferred a more ingenious twist to the ending, or at least satisfying resolution.

Everyone did a good job of acting, but with such a huge cast some of the characters were somewhat superfluous. One gets the feeling they could have done this on half the cast and still accomplished the same goals. The only reason I mention this is because with the American-unfamiliar names (which aren't changed for purpose of translations), one tends to forget who is who and what role they play. If their role in the series becomes inconsequential, perhaps they didn't need to be in it in the first place.

Still, some people enjoy a large cast of characters, so it's largely a matter of personal taste. I give it 7 stars because of the somewhat weak and predictable / cliche ending... and the typical Korean habit of putting an 8 episode story into 16 episodes. But also because it does maintain interest all the way through.

Then there was the "Superman" bit, with one character suddenly exhibiting super-strength and not really explained. That somewhat jumped the shark.

Calling it a "masterpiece" is a bit of a stretch. It's just basically a typical Korean series. I've seen better, and I've seen far worse. It's worth watching.

This is a good series, but it does sag occasionally because the sequencing can be too long and limp for the actual plot and character development. Not enough attention is given to developing the female leads or the relationships between characters-considering the outstanding cast, this is a serious drawback. It puts more emphasis on plot than on character development, but even then the writer leaves too many holes that she continues to spin, and not effectively. However, the series can definitely be recommended for its terrific cast and directors who keep the audience's attention throughout despite the writer's occasional oversights.

This is a great sci-fi thriller that is tightly written with an interesting plot and great characters. The ML is by far the most interesting of the bunch, but all the characters are interesting and three dimensional. I enjoyed every episode, and I liked how all questions were answered by the end of the show. The only negative I would say about the show is it takes a few episodes to feel like as a viewer you know what is going on and what the direction of the show is. Just know that the whole show revolves around the first few scene, and wait for the plot to speed up. Once it does the show is addicting. The ending was somewhat open ended, but also not really at the same time - it was vague but also confirming of the viewers suspicions. I personally thought it was perfect. I really enjoyed this and think it is well worth a watch.

Such a combination of crime-mystery, which are completely different from the traditional dramas, is not seen very often. According to Drama, the rating is very low which is probably due to cast influence. But if you ask me, I would call it one of the best contemporary dramas. If you have time, you can take a look, or you will miss something great.
