I kept putting this one off just because of the title come and hug me. After watching the drama i understand why it is called like this, theres a lot of hugging!
The plot was very good though could have been better if Na-mu's character was further developed. That was a shame because we all know that Jang Ki-yong can easily portray someone with a nasty streak. I understand that they aimed to end on a happy note, but such twist would make the drama a completely different level. But of course, being a romantic soul, i am glad it ended the way it did.
Cast was extremely well selected and the supporting roles were excellent. Heo Joon-ho was terrifying, he played that role really really well. I slightly minded that Ki-yong's talent was almost wasted to just starring, hugging, apologising or asking if others were ok. His script improved towards the end of the series, though like i already said, the character slightly lacked a depth. Jin Ki-joo was sweet, kind and beautiful, but similarly as with Ki-yong, the constant 'are you ok, i am ok' was getting on my nerves, their verbal communication was very limited. Also, if i experienced what her role did, i would have some serious PTSD.. she wasnt always in best shape, but seemed to cope well considering..
Worth mentioning is Nam Da-reum potraining Do-jin's young himself. At 16, he flawlessy pulled it off. His performance was on par with the main adult leads, hats off to the young man.
My favourite character however was Yoon Hyun-moo as he developed from a bully to a criminal, fugitive and a humble and accepting human again.. played by handsome Kim Kyung-nam. His eyes are so far apart, one could fit a whole world in between.. :)
Overall, very good action, crime drama that will keep you in suspense, well casted, well played.
