The premiere establishes the dorm-as-sanctuary premise with efficient economy - Jisoo and Jung Hae-in's first collision carries enough heat to carry the episode past its clunky exposition. The 1987 period design is the real star.
Ambitious spy-romance with strong lead performances from Jung Hae-in and Jisoo, undercut by repetitive plotting and a controversial historical framing that critics found clumsy. RT critics gave it 97% but from only 3 reviews; broader discourse was sharply divided.
Renewal: Single-season limited series. 16 episodes aired on JTBC from December 18, 2021 to January 30, 2022. No continuation announced. (JTBC)

The finale resolves its romantic and political threads with more sentiment than clarity. Viewers who invested in the leads will find enough emotional payoff; those frustrated by the historical framing will find the ending a confirmation of their concerns.
