Baek Chan-mi has a new mission now, but will she prove her mettle this time? Watch the series to know more.

The feel-good part

Going back to memories through reels in the video is an innovative aspect and a delight to watch. The relationship shared between the undercover team is also one of the highlights of the series. Though they have their individual struggles, they shared a great rapport when they worked as a team. The action scenes are well-shot, and the music of the action scenes is convincing. There are some fast-paced scenes in the drama that will engross you.

The disappointing factor

There are some holes in the narrative, and the drama takes a boring tone sometimes. Besides, the way the people working at the NIS are portrayed could have been taken care of. For example, just for the sake of comedy, the characters should not be shown as silly. Sometimes, the drama makes people feel that the girl’s power is more important than the main narrative.

In-depth analysis

The concept of the drama is quite different from the typical seasoned detective team joining hands to solve a crime. And though the plot seems complex sometimes, the series manages to hold your attention through the actors’ performances.

Star power

The three actors Choi Kang-hee, Yoo In-young, and Kim Ji-young, steal the show with their outstanding performances. In fact, the story, which has many flaws, is elevated through their acting. Choi Kang-hee starts to gain the audience’s attention from the first scene itself. She takes up the action scenes with great enthusiasm. Hwang Mi Soon, though it has only little scenes, does full justice to her role. Im Ye Eun portraying the role of a poor mother is a revelation. Though she has done mostly headstrong and sophisticated roles earlier, she convincingly does a soft character in this series.

Overall opinion
