Plot

Lee Yool falls off a cliff and nearly dies in an attempted assassination. He loses his memory, and wanders for 100 days under a new name and personality. During this period, he meets Hong Sim, head of the first detective agency in Joseon.

Two-thirds of this drama is charming, lovable, and often funny. When it is tragic, it is also touching. The cast is wonderful and worked hard. Many supporting actors are as good as the leads-often true in the best KDramas-and two 2nd ML held their own with DO. It was all good, and I had a great time. Then the writer seemed to lose her way or interest in the story. She wastes time with nonsense side plots, tedium, and silliness with the main characters, and the opportunity to close a great love story with the joy it deserved. Even the adorable leads seemed to lose their way and the chemistry they had in the rest of the drama. Then the writer simply hastily ended, but I didn't care because the story's energy was sucked out of it. I still enjoyed most of it, just disappointed in the flat closure.
