Slacker's review:
Anticipated KSA's comeback after 3 yrs, but this drama didn't push KSA's career to a new height. Disappointed? A little. Maybe the storyline cld have been better, it somehow seemed plain with the usual cases and there's little excitement. On the official website, KSA's character Cho Hee was mentioned to have natural borned sexiness in her and blah blah...Don't expect that in the drama. Cho Hee was only sexy in her black gown in one of the eps. What a waste?! They cld have made Cho Hee a really sexy lady if they let her wear nicer clothes, and have a better hairstyle. Butta, thank goodness KSA's acting and chemistry with LDG were gd enough to make me continue watching. Honestly, the theme of WIAN is kinda boring. Lots of dealings with stolen artifects and the baddies. I am only interested to see Bum Sang & Cho Hee..hahaha! Quite an interesting pair...a playboy and a rather serious woman. LDG looked tired at times, but still gave a gd performance. Many of a times, Cho Hee kept reminded me of Sam Soon...that's not really gd for KSA, she needs to jump out from Sam Soon's image. There are quite a few memorable scenes b/w Cho Hee & Bum Sang, esp when they were in Japan. Super funny! Love the stolen kisses and hugs scenes too.
KJH was not the 1st choice for her role, but i think she did well la. I don't have much comments abt Joo Hyun since her main purpose here was to provide comedy relief..and Cho Hee's love rival. I hope to see KJH lead a drama next time...she shldn't be a 2nd fiddle anymore! Lee Joo Hyun's TL Kang was alright, nothing too spectacular from him.
OST was alright...the themesong is quite a cheerful one. Sub theme by SG Wannabe is nice too.
Overall, it's still a watchable kdrama and if u're a fan of KSA & LDG, don't miss it!
