AMAZING! The story is so amazing!

Watching the interaction between Joo Hong-bin and Son Se-dong is so slow and I guess real...well I was so happy watching this - and my son also loved it - which made it more special family memory. The story has romance and humor and the best sci-fi out of the blue I ever saw. Blades appear from his body - and the progression of learning about his power is so well written. The butler/Secretary Go (played by Han Jung Soo - was amazing character, the glue of the romantic leads).

Highly recommend this series; excellent subtitles.

Loved seeing Korea though this series. (hated the bad guys!) Ha well written series.

Terrible

I am a big fan of Lee Dong Wook, I think he has great range as an actor. He can do sweet and normal man-next-door (all his rom-coms), he can do dead-pan comedy (everything he's in, if needs be), he can do tortured soul (la dolce vita, goblin, hotel king), he can do boring work-obsessed doctor (Life). All brilliantly. I found this series appalling, almost unwatchable. Stupid story, ridiculous acting (by him), painful love story. I think he should choose his projects more carefully.

It was good

You should watch it and I recommend to all. It was interesting and funny.

Mostly very funny and quite an unusual series

This isn't an action super hero show like the title would suggest. In fact it's hard to define this series. It's primarily a comedy with romance and a small amount of fantasy. At first things may seem exaggerated and over the top but once the story gets going it is very involving and laugh out loud funny and satirical sometimes when you least expect it. There is a shift of mood when things get too serious or too funny so it never gets too boring. Only the last few episodes have a bit of drag and frustration. But less so than many other K dramas of the time. The characters are funny even the supporting characters especially the secretary Go and the younger brother. Lee Dong Wook shows amazing range from crazy bad to deeply in love Very versatile. Shin Se Kyung is actually well cast in the role, a more glamorous and more sophisticated looking actress wouldn't have been right. The best thing is the series makes you laugh.

Worth a watch just bear with some drag at the end.

some terrific acting

Another title is Iron Man. But for me, if you wanted to compare the male character to a hero from Marvel , it would be The incredible Hulk. Instead of turning green, he grows blades.

I thought the acting was excellent overall. I'm not counting the game team, as they were just eye candy. Well, if they can act, they didn't get much of a chance to show it here. I thought the drama had some powerful scenes with the second female lead.

But her pain spells are more or less forgotten after a while.

The villain ie the one who indirectly caused the second female lead's condition doesn't get punished, I'm not quiet sure what the point of the fainting spells was. As far as I remember, she fainted once or twice. It looks like it's going to a big issue. But it's never really pursued. We hear that she gets fainting spells.

But I don't recall seeing her get any before.

So the story I guess is this about young woman , who blames herself for what she sees as a misdeed, and tries atone for it by helping others become better. But I see this as quite overbearing at times.

The story was fine, although you could see where it was going.

But for me, it was the acting that made this drama work. Oh, it has some nice locations as well,
