I've enjoyed the show so far (Only on the second episode). It's pretty funny while being dramatic which is what I usually enjoy in a show. There's some action in it too but I wouldn't really watch it for that. It's just a nice addition. It might not be for you if you want a drama show with perfectly nuanced acting because this is more of a comedy drama show. It'll have a bit more over acting and less serious lines or scenarios.

I actually like the action part of this show more than the "romantic" aspect of it. I found the girl to be a bit annoying. With all the far more beautiful women that kept popping up on the show, I would have expected the lead woman to at least be more interesting and likable. She had high expectations of a guy who she really was only "dating" for two days. After finding out he was a special agent and using her, she expected everything to be back to normal afterward and didn't understand why he "left". There were just certain aspects of her character that just made cringe a little. I hope he runs off and leaves her at the end because she really is dragging down the show. I'm only on the tenth episode and getting close to my breaking point because of her character. I just don't see the chemistry between the two of them. Ick... Although, I'm continuing to watch the show because of the action and the bromance between the two guys. It's kinda cute...

I really liked this series. Park Hae-jin is a pleasure to watch and Park Sung-woong is funny. Kim Min-jung is also good. I really enjoyed this series. It had a little of everything. Romance, comedy, drama and crime. Very entertaining.

Just discovering Korean movies it's a pleasure to find such a good show. By accident I stumbled across this show on Netflix, It looked kind of hopeless the first few minutes, but there is a certain rhythm to get into learning to listen to a new language. So reading sub in my second language,and listen to Korean at the same time is a bit hard. But once getting a hang of it, It's an amazing fun show with lots of great acting, or at least I think so, not knowing the Korean typical art of acting! Worth every minute of my time! So my advise, get some popcorn, and give this a try, and you'll have a great laugh.. Some good action moments, and a quite good plot!

The first few episodes may seem odd to other people but overall it's really good. I really enjoyed watching this.Every episode gets better and better. I consider it as one of the best TV series I've seen. Few people didn't liked it, maybe it's just really because people have different taste.

The benchmark for Korean & Chinese top rank film & TV seems unjustifiably skewed higher in nearly all reviews by those outside the culture. Characters & actors & scripts are nitpicked to a degree that U.S. productions aren't, and ignorant cultural biases are applied to character motivation that demonstrate total lack of awareness of difference in cultural mores. The very high level of self-parody done well that is lauded to the hilt in western efforts like the TV series Chuck is derided unappreciatively as shallow simpering, career trademark of Jim Carrey. Most of all, the production quality, in particular the substantially superior picture resolution & camera work, gets no mention. Again & again, I've been left agape at the beauty of just the picture or scene setting or camera staging in Chinese & Korean production that is so evidently a quantum level above even the best of what I see come out of Hollywood. Much of that seems to utilize the 16:9 aspect ratio with a panoramic sensibility missing altogether in western cinema weaned on the 4:3 TV screen so cripplingly dependent on the close-up of faces. Although I have only watched the first episode so far, I hesitate to binge watch this excellent series because just the one episode was so full of skilled nuance both visually & dramatically. K-drama is often derided as overly melodramatic, and I suspect the many lesser productions I never saw that constitute by far the bulk of the genre are such. But that has made the best of it, such as this show, all the more poignant as a result of its makers being well practiced in conveying passion on the screen.

I wanted to like this show. I really did. I was looking for something light and fun, and from a technical standpoint, it looked promising; the cinematography, stunts and music are polished and the cast has some solid actors. But for some reason, I just couldn't get into it. I'm a k-drama veteran so I know that the first 2-3 episodes of a show can be a bit bumpy, and I also dislike giving negative reviews, so I hung in there, hoping it would grow on me. But after 5 episodes I finally gave up. The characters just felt so half-hearted and I didn't buy the romance at all (which is the core of the show).

To be fair, I was just coming off of watching Mr. Sunshine and A Korean Odyssey/Hwayugi (both fantastic productions with epic love stories), so I suppose anything would pale in comparison. Still, I can't help but feel something critical is missing. I hesitate to blame the acting, since Min-Jung Kim (female lead) delivered such a stunning performance as Hina in Mr. Sunshine.

Speaking of her, I have to say the stylist did her no favors in this show. She was so beautiful and elegant in Mr. Sunshine, it was a pity to let her looks be downgraded by a poorly chosen hair style.

ROMANCE RATING: 6/10. I only saw 1 kiss, but that was enough for me. The kiss itself wasn't badly acted, the leads just had zero chemistry, so to me it felt awkward.

Sorry, I can't really recommend this show. I will revisit it at a later date to see if I should revise my opinion.

I truly enjoyed watching Man To Man. Park Hae Jin is quite an actor and extremely handsome! The shots of PHJ are breath taking. This drama is the best eye candy if you're a PHJ fan! I was most impressed with PHJ range of acting. He can be quite funny and he's superb as an agent. Many folks had negative remarks about the lead actress. But I actually liked her. The entire cast did a good job! Can't wait to see the movie Cheese In The Trap with PHJ!

I liked and finished watching this KDrama for two reasons, the bromance scenes and the action, other than that it had major misses for me. When I started watching it, I expected a drama that has more of an action packed theme and less romance. I honestly felt like the romance between the two leads was forced and unnecessary.

I feel terrible for the female lead since many people went in on her, blaming her for the performance but I think she executed her script as she should have. The only problem was that the romance was unnecessary. After watching Park Hae Jin in Cheese in the Trap, I think they should have let his character develop with no romantic storyline. The main focus should have been on the spies and the bromance which I think would have been a better sell.

I liked the acting between the villain and his wife, that did more for me than any other romance scenes that tried to creep in. The spy handlers also had a good brotherhood going on, which I honestly wish was focused on more. I would give it a 7 since it delivered on tech, action and spying. Watch it if you're looking for a spy themed drama and if you don't mind skipping the romance scenes between the main leads.

Haters stay down! This drama was a delight to watch. I laughed so much cause the humor was too good. I had to go back and watch things one more time cause the action or acting was so beautiful I could not help it. The direction was pure perfection they crafted the roles to have such good balance between the humor and the action and the cinematography. Trust me it was such a good watch after a long time of very similar story line Korean drama's. I would anyday recommend this series.

Overall the drama was a good watch - story line, some light hearted scenes and all cast performance was truly good. The lead female cast Kim Min-jung should have tried to not to overact, as I found her performance very poor in comparison to her fellow actors.

I have watched this a few times, I find it easy and fun to watch. I enjoy the characters and character chemistry as well as the plots along the way. A well done tv series thats sure to please and give you a laugh.

I particularly enjoyed seeing Min-Jung Kim again after loving Mr Sunshine. Although this series is not anywhere near as good as that, Min-Jung Kim lit up the screen whenever she appeared.

Without her it is an entertaining enough watch, with goodies triumphant and baddies punished. The bromance between the two male leads provided some decent comedy too.

The first 5 episodes were slow but gets better past that. The bromance was really funny bt the romance between Park Hae-jin and Kim Min-joung is super tacky. I think the show can do better without the romance.

Park Hae jin plays an incredible lead character throughout the whole series. This was my first K-drama and it did not disappoint-- I am completely hooked. The plot was complex enough to keep my interest, along with a few comedic moments here and there. The action was also great, and almost every episode ends in a great cliffhanger. I really hope there is a second season! And if you weren't into korean actors before... this show will change you.

The first scenes were really like hollywood style, visuals and sound effects. But as the story progressess it was kinda boring and monotonous. I also felt that the main lead does not appear as a cool special agent guy.

I like this show, Park hae-jin is the reason leading me to watch this show, the story is good, fun and little bit action. The only thing makes me feel bad is the main actress Park Do Ha :( I dont know why they casted her for this role

Park Hae Jin is so adorable and i find it kind of weird he's playing such a tough roll but I guess he can pull it off lol. The sound effects<3 Park Sung Woong lol he's funny too<3 but omg for about 4 mins Song Joong KI!<3 I love that man! lol The villainy is great too. Only on episode 9 but IT'S SOOOOOOO GOOOD

A secret agent has a bromance whilst working undercover for an actor but a romance could be on the cards with the actors manager. Lots of skulduggery with large conglomerates, the security service and ghost agents all battling one another to expose or hide the truth. The plot is ok and there are quite a few lighthearted fun moments especially with the bromance.

It should be just action and comedy. The romantic thing with that Do-ha character is unnecessary, I'm sure she's a good actress but I find that character is annoying and too clingy! Urgh! Other than that, all good!

Had wanted to like this one and on occasion the acting is pretty good. But the story is drop dead boring (or so boring I thought I would drop dead). I know it can take a few Kdrama episodes to get going but couldn't get past 3. The pretty boy protagonist is beyond wooden. Some of the other characters (the actor, his manager, etc.) are just quirky enough and well acted that I wanted to stay with it, but the story just too dull. Sorry. Can't waste another moment on the weak storyline.

Great family entertainment. No real gore or explicit things. Show is about a special agent that falls in love during an assignment. Has a bit of the James Bond flair going in this series. Would love to see an sequel or a season 2.
