With a small audience and a quick end, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for crime-drama fans and action fans. If you loved Burn Notice, start here.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 16 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
A patriotic bodyguard who was abandoned by his country and colleagues, a hidden daughter of leading Presidential candidate who regards love as a tool for revenge, and the First Lady contender who hides her ambition and charisma behind a kind and friendly personality.
