I actually have to disagree with you on this one jb. I personally thought the 1st episode kept me interested (and I usually hate the first few episodes from Kdramas cos they’re so slow and draggy) but with every ongoing episode, it just kept me on the edge of my seat. I kept wanting to know what happened next and absolutely loved every minute.

Jung Kwan Ryul as President Jang was absolutely phenomenal as expected of such a remarkable veteran actor.
I’ve loved Ji Sung every since I saw him in All In and Save The Last Dance and must say he has improved quite a bit. He had me completely convinced of his role as Jung Woo. Great job!
Whoever is Sung Yuri’s stylist did a great job here. The outfits were super chic! As for her acting, I will say that while I loved her in “Snow Queen,” I was disappointed she didn’t have much of a part in this drama. She seemed more like a supporting actress but I guess that’s what the writers wanted to portray her as. Her acting was okay — wasn’t awful but I wasn’t impressed either.
Lee Wan: I have seen him in Stairway to Heaven and Let’s Go To The Beach before. He was cute in both but I wasn’t ecstatic nor was I convinced of his role her. His acting fell short for me.

Man, I wish I could write about ALL of the characters because each actor definitely contributed to this drama and I had a love-hate relationship for each of them but this may take me all night. Anyway, I have just recently gotten back into dramas lately. I used to watch religiously but kind of stopped 2 years ago because of school/work whatnot. Hence I am writing this one year later. Just my thoughts but I would definitely recommend this drama to anyone. The one thing I would change is to shorten it to perhaps 20 or even 16 episodes. I am not a fan of long dramas (anything over 20 is long for me) but this actually wasn’t that bad considering it didn’t drag out much.

I watched this drama because of ji sung. I do not really like the actress. Story wise is so so. I prefer the drama, Save the last dance for me, which I have seen it for the 3rd time and still do not feel boring. Ji sung and Eugene are the most matching actor and actress. Hope to see them acting together again as couple.

i agree that sung yu ri improved her acting alot . in this drama, before i watch it , i think it will focus on a triangle love. however, the drama just focused on the revenge of ji sung and ji sung’ s father. that why lee wan and sung yu ri look like not main characters. Also, i can see sung yu ri ‘s acting skills are great when she turned to dark because of her parent’s death.
i think ji sung and ji sung’ s father role are great actor because they are acting for a long time. i can say ji sung is a one of great actor of korea. However, sung yu ri is still great in soo huyn . she already has a good job in this drama. if you say her acting is boring, it ‘s not right because you must remember the character soo huyn is boring , not her .
in my opinion, she is a great actress of korean drama. i love her

Definitely one of the better K-Dramas, superb production, script, cinematography, all were put together with skill and effectiveness that makes this such a high quality drama. A credit to all the actors, director, writers, editors and producers of this drama!

It would a great shame to overlook this drama!

Not to be missed!

I haven’t seen a k-drama as good as Swallow the Sun. I was captivated from the very first episode and followed through the very end. I loooove the character of Kim Jung-woo, Ji Sung did a superb job portraying this character, and I don’t think anyone else can play it better. The characters of Jang Min Ho and Jackson are also applauded. I had a love/hate feeling for Jang Min Ho in this series, and I think he did a great job with his character.

Sung Yuri is very beautiful and I think she has a improved a lot on her acting. Keep up the good work!

I can’t wait to see more series like this in the future. Totally worth my time, LOOOOVE IT!!

#20 my mistake…My favorite drama of Lee Wan was Tree of Heaven…and not Tree of Happiness as I stated earlier.

Lee Wan & Sung Yuri were not lead roles, they were not key characters, seems KDramas necessarily have to have a love triangel any how! Sung Yuri scenes were really boring and the actress had no ability to add some attractiveness to this boring character.
Instead, Jang Min Ho’s character and Jun Kwang Ryul AMAZING talent makes this drama watch worthy! really enjoyed his performance.

good cast and good directing but a messy script…It would have been much better to have omited the irrelevant scequences (africa, Las Vegas, circus and…) and instead pay more attention to the main line and main characters…
