Made this topic as I couldn't find any forum about this drama. I think this is a rather underrated drama (but fortunately the rating did justice to it).

 

I like how it does not have the usual cliche of kdrama, no romance makjang and no overcomplicated conspiracies.

Best of all, the visual part are good. After Park Hyung Sik, Kim Myung Soo (commonly known as L of Infinite) is the next idol I do recognize that 'act' like an actor, a big improvement from his previous dramas.
