This show really is getting intense.. I'm completely immersed in every detail of the story.. I’m still upset that it’s only 20 episodes long which means it’s going to finish soon but it definitely was a great run..

[KIdol]

I'm really loving it. Lee Jun Ki is SO good in it...which makes me respect his acting talents so much more. <3 I was broken to hear it's only going to be 20 episodes too. T^T

[Alexandra]
