The Night When The Crow Caws
Summary
As the hottest actor in the action genre, the handsome and talented Woogang is always being chased by the women around him. But when a mysterious agent on a secret mission breaks into his home, he’s the one who falls in love at first sight. Sadly, he has no clue who the beautiful stranger is… until she shows up at his workplace as Detective Park Taeyi to investigate a bomb threat. It turns out that she’s no ordinary policewoman, but an elite member of the Secret Intelligence Agency who is after a criminal organization called “The Crows.” Fate brings Woogang and Taeyi closer when the actor catches The Crows’ attention and needs the agent’s protection. Can Woogang break through Taeyi’s cool exterior and win her heart as they face off against their dangerous enemies?
... and the second season of the Anime did a better job of pacing than I thought they would. I think they moved the Elf village arc from before hostilities with the Principality began to the inter-war period, aka the start of the second season, and used that to pad it out. Good call if that's what they did. In any event. Good season.
