My View

I'm extremely surprised that a Science fiction drama sits so well with me this time. Usually, they just get rated one or two stars. Not even Ji Chang-wook's Melting Me Softly makes me change my mind. 

Love Duel's plot twist and how things being uncovered, glad that I watched it till the end. But one thing that bothered me was how did Sung-joon recover from his illness. Lol a mystery right there.

Rating

4/5 Stars
