I normally don't give a review after 1 episode (as of to-date only 1 episode and 2 trailers of episode 2 are released) but since I don't think I'll continue with this series, I'm writing my review for this episode and why I don't have interest to follow the series further. The posters and pictures of the drama series look good which was why I decided to watch the first episode. However, within an hour into the episode I knew it wasn't going to work for me. The acting is very exaggerated and clinched. Many shots look pretentious. Within 1 episode and 2 trailers, you have either the male or female lead pointing arrow, guns, knife at each other. Clenching each other with burning gazes, pushing each other, threatening each other etc etc. As regards the story, it's going to be a huge bitter revenge struggle. I do understand some enjoy a convoluted high strung revenge story with high emotional romance thrown in. If it works for you, then you may enjoy this series. I had to do a bit of fast forwarding just to finish episode 1 and episode 1 was very predictable.
