This is an exciting drama. I chanced upon it and after watching ep 1. I was hooked, even though it does not have any of the actors whom I usually look out for. It has just (on Apr 14) completed its broadcast in Hong Kong and Malaysia.
Anyone watching too? Do join in and spazz with me. This drama makes me want to watch the korean movie "The Tabloid" as well as the recently ended drama "Pinnochio".
