To be honest when I started this, I wasn't immediately impressed. I had hoped to be, looking at the early teasers and trailers. The first couple of episodes felt clunky and most of the characters uni-dimensional. But I made the decision to persist last week mainly of Namgoong Min who is reliably brilliant and the crumbs of a decent thriller in the offing. Of course it remains to be seen if this show is worth pursuing in the long run purely based on his presence in it. Also the possibility that he would be in the middle of a love triangle made me roll my eyes. Every so often I worry about what that would do to the women in the show.
