plot: Kim Je-ha (Ji Chang-Wook) is a former mercenary soldier for the Blackstone. While in Iraq, he gets framed for the murder of his lover Raniya, a civilian. As a result, he runs away and becomes a fugitive.
He returns to South Korea and by chance, gets offered to work as a bodyguard by Choi Yoo-jin, the owner of JSS Security Company and wife of the presidential candidate, Jang Se-joon. He accepts the job in exchange for resources that he needs in order to get his revenge on another presidential candidate, Park Kwan-soo, who previously ordered the killing of his lover.
In the meantime, Je-ha gets assigned to guard Go Anna (Yoona), the hidden daughter of Jang Se-joon, whose life is always threatened because of Yoo-jin, her stepmother. Anna, who has been reclused and lonely all her life, starts relying on Je-ha, who shows concern for her and protects her at all costs. They slowly fall in love with each other, which makes Je-ha torn between having to work with his ally, Yoo-jin, in order to get his revenge and protecting his new-found love, Anna, against his own ally.
MY WIGG IS SNATCHEDDDD!!
review: How can anyone not love this drama?? I think the producers made a GREAT choice in choosing the main leads. I was HOOKED on the first episode. And honestly I don't think anyone can get tired of staring at Ji Chang-Wook. My mans out here looking like a snack, a picnic, a FULL COURSE MEAL!!
I'm not gonna lie.. at times I questioned if Anna's mother had a thing for Je-ha. And I felt like the writers could have done a much better job at writing certain scenes. It was lacking plot-wise but the acting was suPERB!! Yoona did a great job in this drama.. and Ji Chang-Wook does well in every drama.
The actual filming is gorgeous & I love the soundtracks so much!! I had them on replay for at least a month after the drama finished airing.
Side note: Ji Chang-Wook stated in an interview that he doesn't want to do an action-based drama ever again because they put him through difficult & extensive training to film this drama.. and I'm just--
I really hope he changes his mind because he's such a talented actor & DOES AMAZING IN ACTION RELATED SCENES!!
