Going into this I was super hyped to finally watch this as Ive heard really good things about this drama and I love Park Seo Joon so Im always stoked to watch his dramas....though unfortunately this one fell somewhat short for me =(

It started off great!! I loved the first 8ish episodes but after that, the story just seemed to lose its momentum...the pacing seemed to slow down, became somewhat repetitive and very predictable....which made me start losing interest in this drama very quickly to the point i was debating on even finishing the drama by episode 12....but since i already got that far I pushed myself to finish.

Apart from me not really liking the overall story, I really did enjoy the different characters, its diversity and cleverness in incorporating societal issues that many people deal with in their daily lives. That was refreshing to see, and I really did enjoy each character's story and their development. They all felt real and relatable. Now, I want to talk specifically about Saeroyi and Yi Seo....I loved Park Seo Joon's character Saeroyi in the beginning. I loved his perseverance, determination, and a sense of justice he had!! Couldnt wait to see how his story would unfold and how he would prove Mr. Jang wrong in the end...however I was left unsatisified...Saeroyi seemed to mellow out half way through the show and didnt seem to make much progress in beating Mr. Jang until near the end and it really wasnt even his doing...which was a total let down...I think it would've been more satisfying if Mr. Jang wasn't sick..so that his defeat wouldve been even stronger but thats nots really important LOL!! On to Si Yeo...I was looking forward to her character as many people seemed to praise her...however she was the character that I admired the least and was annoyed by her throughout this entire series. Her character was probably one of the main reasons for me not enjoying this drama. Her confidence showed off as arrogance to me half the time. Yes, I loved that she was an assertive and intelligent female. Knowledgeable in her field, but her behavior and the way she talked to people was just not admirable for me. She always seemed to be looking down at people and insulting them in some way shape or form. If she wasn't so bossy, manipulative and clingy (specifically towards Saeroyi) I think I wouldve liked her more. To me she had very little character development, until maybe the end and even then it was still 50/50...but at least we did see she was way more professional in how she spoke to people especially friends. I honestly couldve went without any romance in this story because it didnt really seem to do anything for me at all...I didnt believe in the main couples relationship...and honestly wouldve preferred Saeroyi to stay single orrr end up with Soo Ah (even tho I knew from the beginning she wouldnt end up with him because their love/bond was just not strong...it never was...and she never was transparent with her feelings with him. )

Overall, it was an okay drama, not the best Ive seen but Im still glad I watched it but its not a drama I will rewatch. The OST THO!!! isss awesome, probably my favorite thing that came out of this drama.
