My View

PL as a whole has its fair share of conspiracy, suspense and just a little bit of con-artists part.

It would be better if there are more fraud cases like Leverage.

My View

I have not watched such an awesome thriller drama in a long time. 

For the first four episodes, my heart was racing as everything seemed spooky and mysterious. At the end of the first episode when Woo-kyung completed the poem, my heart skipped a beat.

Throughout the entire show, I just cannot wait to find out what's next. The plot is too good that I'm unable to write any spoilers. Lol..
