South Korea makes a lot of NIS-themed series and movies, but The Veil is arguably one of the best out there. It's a 12-episode spy drama that's full of plot twists, and is intriguing from the very first episode up to the last.

Note that The Veil is heavy on the narrative so it isn't as action-packed as the trailer suggests BUT when it's time for action, it's crunch time. All fight sequences really deliver - and they get pretty intense with a jacked Namkoong Min at the forefront.

9/10 would recommend to anyone who has a knack for crime thrillers.

It is a really interesting series concerning trust and moral values. I loved it. The action scenes were just on point. It was somewhat confusing in some parts but my questions were all answered till the end of the series.

The plot (not spoiler): This is an intriguing story of a NIS agent (Han Ji Hyuk) who loses his memory during a mission and returns back after a year.

The story is well paced, neither too fast nor too slow.

The only problem I faced, is that the writers keep adding characters which made me bit confused to remember all the names.

The action is on the point!

Its not an unique drama, the plot is quite common but its very well executed, it definitely leaves you wanting more at the end of each episode. The cliffhangers will make sit on the edge of the seat.

Nam Goong Min- Okay! So it's a one man show and i.e Nam Goong Min!

He is just astonishing, as always. His workout scenes are well directed, his muscles bulging and his skin glistening with sweat...ooooohhh!!! Not only action but his gaze also. He will rip you off just by his gaze and he looked so damn violent and wild in all his action scenes. But sometimes you will feel like he is a cold hearted assassin.

Kim Ji Eun- She supported well Nam Goong Min. Her character is cheerful and cute and she is a badass girl also. She has humanity and warmth which melts his senior's frozen heart whose humanity was on the verge of extinction.

Overall, the plot/script writing is little weak, it could have been better if they wouldn't have shown so many characters.

I wouldn't recommend this series to those who have low attention or those who watch dramas in fast forward because if you skip even for 10 secs.. boom!!!you have just missed an important character.

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you like a good mystery action packed drama, then this is worth checking out!

OST: Its worth adding to your playlist.

PS: Remember all the names.

Perfection. Pure and simple.

Action sequences were thrilling, engaging and brutal. Somehow I hoped there would be more but was equally glad there weren't. Honestly if they'd keep up with it Han Ji Hyuk would have ended in intensive care before the story would have made it to the half-way point.

A man of few words, you can see his gradual transformation from raging beast, to paranoid weapon, to a man whom has seen and done too much, but is trying to make (an extremely awkward) attempt in connecting with another human and those around him.

The politics, the scheming, the "it depends on your viewpoint"-morality were all extremely realistic. And also important, vocalized in a natural, unforced dialogue. Everything is connected, but it takes a bit to get there as you have our main character act on any knowledge he finds, without the context of his memories. So he makes mistakes, rash judgements and hits and misses with all the consequences in tow.

The ending ties it down neatly. No open endings, unanswered questions or mysteries. Just the end of a nightmare and a trauma... a good headway into overcoming and healing.

Great story line with of twist well acting and in each episode you will hooked.
