Thoughts:
This show is all sorts of fun and quirky without being excessive. It is a good balance. When there are serious scenes, you can feel it. The fun is gone in those moments and you really get down to business. But the fun picks up again after the seriousness is over. Sometimes it comes all of a sudden, thus having me laughing out loud.

I don't usually comment on the filming style since they are usually pretty standard, but you can't help but notice the various filming styles used in this drama. Instead of being serious, the action scenes are as quirky as the show. But there are also scenes where I just think "wow, they really shot this scene in a pretty way," even if it is just a shot lasting only seconds.  It is quite interesting and I appreciate it.

The acting in this show is good. I'm quite impressed with Lee Sookyung, who plays Hogu's fraternal twin, Kang Ho Kyung. For a rookie actress, she is quite good. I like the main character, Hogu. He is too kind for his own good, which can go either way of being a good or bad thing. This trait makes me want to root for him.


Verdict:
Definitely would recommend.
If you're looking for something fun to watch, have a go at it.
