Hardly a 10 but ok

Told a passable story. Most of it. The problem was this is like the 3rd or 4th straight drama with a story setting during the IMF crisis of SK. Every year I swear, it's like these script writers get together and say let's all produce law dramas this yr. Or med dramas. It's like all we get for a few months and you just start to get fed up. So I will admit I MIGHT have a small bias towards pieces from this timeframe , kind of sick of them. You have to be on point with this as the background, historically correct you could say since this is kind of a niche backline to use, or had been until we just got this string of them. Even so, you've got to be almost perfect when viewers get to this point and this wasn't it~

Decent all around cast and this ML here has done well in the past. He was all but useless here. Was playing as the cold boss with FL, working for him of course, with a relationship that went sour in the past. Uninspiring, dull, and boring. Story or the actor? Idk. But these leads did NOT mesh. The saving grace here was that even though they had a past, there was no attempt to rekindle anything and very little in the way of romance within the drama period. FL's role here was more or less, pretty fairly generic. Her acting was fine. A bossy, pushy, self righteous character with no respect anyone with the belief that her behavior is justified by her belief in righting injustice in the world. Her target happens to be a huge dirty corporation where she runs into her ex and cue the story~
The supports were better in dam near every category imo. There must have been at least 15 or so recognizable faces big and small. Had grand standing villains delivering cheesy lines of overconfidence and menacing threats with laughing cackles and dark eyes blazing. And the ending? Trash. I didn't like it at all since what was portrayed wouldn't have happened or worked well historically. That's MY opinion on it though and shouldn't stop you from checking it out~
This wasn't a bad drama. The strength of the supports was actually what kept me until the end since the leads didn't shine together. FLs archetype here is familiar for viewers of her works so it was fine alone but didn't stand out. It's a very long drama, a full 16 eps. It's starts off very slow, 8 was the make and break part on continuing or dropping for me so you do need to watch a few before deciding~
