My Review….
This drama captivated me from start to finish. The depth of the characters and the unpredictability of their actions kept me hooked throughout. Each twist felt organic yet surprising, making it hard to look away. One of the standout elements for me was the subtle, unspoken romance between the leads. It wasn’t overt, but if you paid attention, the evolution of their relationship was beautifully woven into the story.
The only aspect I found disappointing was the male lead’s decision to leave the female lead just before the conclusion. Don’t worry its a happy ending. So, this didn’t overshadow the overall experience. If you enjoy romantic thrillers with a backdrop of political intrigue, this drama is definitely worth watching.
