I am really enjoying this series thus far.
( some thoughts on the heroine Ma Hye Ri )- A large reason for why Hye Ri is so likable is definitely the actress who plays her. I think Kim So Yeon is doing an amazing job. I actually didn’t even recognise her as the person who played Sun Hwa. When I read that she’d been in IRIS I couldn’t figuring out who she’d played and when I read it was Sun Hwa I didn’t believe it at first. I had to confirm it in a couple different places and when I finally accepted it my first thought was: what did she do with her hair?! Sun Hwa is smoking hot. Hye Ri is – not. She’s pretty but not someone I’d call hot. (And not just because she isn’t running around being a competent spy/assassin.) Now that I know how gorgeous Hye Ri can look I really hope we get a make-over. Actually... we have to don’t we? As Hye Ri starts to care and try she’s probably going to start dressing more professionally (while hopefully still staying very much herself) and, also hopefully, this will include doing something with her hair. Unless she stays exactly as she is and wins people over by being awesome and gets them to love her as she is. Hmm.
- Even though I didn’t recognise Kim So Yeon I did know Min Young Won immediately. Or rather I recognised her from Shining Inheritance as the heroine’s best friend Hye Ri (that amuses me). I really liked her in that drama and Hye Ri was one of my favourite parts so I hope Yoo Na gets a bigger role as this series continues.
- I also really like In Woo and I am so curious about who he is. I’ve never seen actor Park Shi Hoo in anything but I’m now a fan. He’s made In Woo very charming. Plus he’s really attractive and I love his smile. Especially all those scenes where he’s smiling about Hye Ri and her ridiculousness.
- I love the Hye Ri/In Woo interactions. I think they have so much chemistry and I’m shipping them already.
Episode 1( a couple thoughts )Episode 2( a bit longer )I have a theory about In Woo’s identity and his motives.
( no spoilers past episode 2, just speculation based on what we've seen in the first two episodes )
