Professor Mad Dog's words were my biggest fear

Heard that this show is great and all so many times and people cried alot on this show. Finally gave it a try after watching Extraordinary You.

The drama started off really well. Like really i was intrigued by this. (happened with Extraordinary You, like it had potential but went down the hill after few eps). And this one, I say was better than that. I skipped so much in EY but not here coz the twits were good keeping you at the edge of seat but then went it started to come to an end, the show kept Playing toss the ball. It kept going in circles. Even though there was need to skip of FF in this drama still felt a bit draggy.

Story: Very good plot but came a bit boring in some parts. Felt few things were unnecessary. And obviously like their professor said that "after oh Yeon Joo came into the story it lost its essence" i thought I'd feel the same. Well, romance ruin good action, thriller or crime dramas. I was worried that this drama oy going to follow romance side after episode where she requests him to do sweet things for her. And I might drop it. So i feel the words he said. But thankfully, that wasnt the case. Romance felt off. Like we don't know how she got attached to him. She was fine and wanted to save him because she liked him despite him trying to kill his father. Thought there would be some hatred or a bit a dissatisfaction but no. And don't understand why ML fell for her? Maybe because she helped him when she was shot? Got swayed only after she saying Saranghae with no feels. FL was a bit idk... Didn't really become of fan of her character. ML's role was great then kept going up and down. Maybe if they went as per Manhwa it'd have been better than twisting and adding things to the story.

Acting : FLs actions weren't always touching. Sometimes when she cries it felt like she was 'acting'. And MLs action scenes kinda made me laugh. But rest was fine. Even his acting felt lacking sometimes. The other cat was fine.

Music : not sure about this. Didn't pay attention.

PS- The drama was good, watchable. Didn't skip much or probably not at all. Timed well. But downside was story was going in circles and sometimes felt repetitive (maybe it did). If they reduced the extra 'drama' in that maybe it'd have been and enjoyable watch. Recommended but not a re-watch type. Maybe if I watched when it Aired, my rating would have been different.

Overall a good show (probably because I didn't expect anything when I started). Recommended? Yes. But need to patient because twists make it longer.
