It is one of those dramas that make you feel light and happy with the right amount of tension and emotional depth.

I found it very sweet and entertaining from the beginning. I was desperate for new episodes, and after I finished them I went straight to Youtube for behind the scenes clips. Check them out they are funny and you can tell they enjoyed filming it. It has very good pacing and balance, there is not a boring moment. I loved the mixture of action scenes and comedy. I hope the ending follows this pattern.
It has great visuals and the characters are amazing. Kim So Hyun and Jang Dong Yoon are both absolutely amazing. From comedic scenes to romantic ones, they had great chemistry and both gave an extraordinary performance.

I have to say, all the actors in this drama deserve a round of applause. It must be because of the good atmosphere on set, but everyone was seriously phenomenal. I personally want to thank Kang Tae Oh and Ko Gun Han for their crazy performance. You guys are amazing!
