Whenever his heart rate goes beyond 150, Robin emerges from his being which is the exact opposite of his true self. While Seo-jin is hard hearted and contemptuous, Robin, on the other hand is kind and gentle that possesses a 'savior complex' disposition.

She is set to bring it back to its former glory with a major revamp. However, Seo-jin welcomes him with great resistance as he looks forwad to its complete closure due to low returns.

My Thoughts: This is Hyun Bin's come back after his discharge from military service. The drama really started strong but critics claimed that as it progresses, it becomes unstable. But who cares about the ratings? To call it a good drama really lies in the eye of the beholder. No one is a better fit than Hyun Bin. The only set back for me though is the lack of chemistry with Han Ji-min. The writer and the director could have done a better job to make things work for both of the lead stars. Other than that, I like the development of the story line and how it ended.
