I was abit surprised honestly when Hyungsik was cast beside Park Bo Young initially. I was abit afraid she would totally overpower him in their scenes tog but I'm glad that's not the case at all! He is actually the best part of the show for me right now and I love how he naturally portrays MH's quirkiness. MH also seems like a better written character compared to BS and GD.

I'm also loving the two thugs - the boss and his assistant, it's like watching Dumb and Dumber pretending to be evil and cool but failing massively loll

Though i really hope the show improves on its editing and writing. The scenes are very choppy and some of the times I've been left wondering what the scene I'm watching has to do with the previous one. Also hoping the writing can be tightened abit. There are too many subplots going on atm and some of these need to be finished up/tied up and dropped and others need to be progressed more smoothly. We are already a quarter of our way through the 16 eps and not much has happened.

Also, I actually would have very much preferred if the crime plot didn't happen at all. I initially thought it would be a light one but no, this one is pretty dark and quite unnerving. But I suspect it was written in to give BS's character something to do later on.
