Written by Song Jae-jung and directed by Ahn Gil-ho

Anyone familiar with Hyun Bin’s awesome career acknowledges his remarkable versatility and prowess in the craft of acting. Personally, I’ve made it a habit to eagerly anticipate any project he’s involved in ever since his captivating performance in “Late Autumn,” a profoundly impactful South Korean film for me. The show, also featuring Park Shin-hye, offers a captivating fusion of mystery, romance, technological really cool gadgets and lots of intrigue.

Created by Studio Dragon, known for their impeccable productions, the show is set against the beautiful scenery of Spain, with later scenes transitioning to South Korea. It follows a company CEO and a hostel owner as they navigate through a tangled web of mysterious events involving an advanced augmented reality game, inspired by the enchanting tales of the Alhambra Palace. The series provides an exciting journey filled with unexpected twists and intriguing revelations.

As the main characters delve into the intricacies of the game and its impact on reality, we are treated to breathtaking scenes in Spain and South Korea. Personally, after watching this show, Granada, Spain has earned a spot on my bucket list of places to visit. The series seamlessly blends fantasy and suspense, keeping us captivated with each episode. Whether you’re a fan of virtual reality or enjoy thrilling adventures, this South Korean drama promises an unforgettable viewing experience. However, on a personal note, I can’t shake the feeling that something was missing – that there was “the perfect” series somewhere. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is, but it’s a minor personal feeling that does not affect overall satisfaction.
