hmmm i watched this drama and i find it very interesting… i love kim jung eun acting prowess here…. shes really good.. anyway shes the reason why i watch it.. too bad they had to cut it! but for being able to show it in a cable Chanel(not free channel in cable) i think one of the reason why it has a low rating! but i think the story is great and all the actors…

anyway im looking forward for the next project of the one and only korean actress that ive known..

KIM JUNG EUN!!! aja…..

I love love this drama… If the viewers love the type of Dae Mul and President, yes I think they will hooked as bad as I am.

The casts, cinematography and script are very solid, way better than IRIS (No Athena). Even the Russian-Romanian-Korean casts are able to delivered such acts and create a believable conversation scenes together. something that I never see in Kdrama. And KJE Russian is much better that HJM in my pov.

The love story they have is soooo touching… I saw another side of HJM, his romantic side. He and KJE together is so, so… ahh. I was swooning over ep 8 when HJM on bended knee giving the ring to his lady whom he loves for over 13 years, in an old chapel, with the streaks of setting sun streaming through the window no less… — Oww, how I wish it was me.

My crush to HJM becomes official, eternal, and getting worse, incurable… ^^

Too bad they have to cut it down to 18. Most good movie/drama are flunk in rating~ lesson learned.

Stiff competition and it’s usually the good quality dramas being lucked out by the mainstreak Kdramas because for the most part, people wants to see their idols on screen. I haven’t given this a try, but it’s on my list to watch.

I’m not too fond of the lead guy though… oh well.

I actually like this drama^^~…..It’s much2 better than both Athena and Iris because we get thrown into the theme and premise straight away……I feel that the goal that the characters are trying to achieve is definitely something I can root for and it’s always been clear from the start…
Of course, I can never stop being amazed at how good Hwang Jung Min is as a spy, when he’s supposed to be a scientist…..but it’s a spy story that’s meant to be rather over the top, so logic is kinda not the priority…..nonetheless, I feel that the flow of the story is good…It is not GREAT, but I don’t think it deserves a cut (I’ve seen worse dramas)….what a pity!

I love love this drama and KJE acting was phenomeonal. She’s weepy because her country abuses her..I cried my eyes out watching her father be killed all because he wanted peace.Then your mother orders the hit.That weepy female was strong for 13 years when they tore her apart from the man she loves because Dong-Ki and her mom didn’t want her leaving with him.Enough is enough she loves South Korea and Myung-Joon..I wish it had ended on. Ep 20 but 18 episodes is fine.I jusr want my happy ending and Myung-Joon as president with Jin-Jae by his side as his wife.Tv Chosun jumped the gun when they ended it abruptly.because of ratings.IIt did much better than other drama’s.Thje real reaon is because the war between South and North Kore and the subject matter hits too close to home.Now I have one less drama to watch but it was good while it lasted..Next time TV Chosun should be prepared for the big 3 because they bring out all the stops even when horrible.Now let me wait patiently for RoofTop Prince recap.

I really like this show – except for the female lead who can’t look like a skilled scientist …

I agree, it’s all the North Korean melodrama -torture and cardboard bad guys that really drags it down.

KHS is good looking though I can’t evaluate his acting based on Peninsula. I hope that he gets a chance to show us what he has in a better role. All that brooding is tiresome (I blame it on the role and the writing) and his idol haircut is ridiculous for a North Korean officer.

Thanks for the info, this one is on my check-list now.
