The more episodes get aired the more it looks like this drama is about zero communication and running around in circles asking same questions, it seems. Kinda tiring to watch lately.

Grandchildren: Grandpa, why are you giving the company to the incompetent illegitimate child who's to blame for our mother's death?
Grandpa: Don't ask stupid questions, I'm tired. Get back to work.

ML: Are you ok marrying my brother? I'm ok.
FL: No, I'm having second thoughts, but I'm gonna do it.

Also ML: No, I'm not ok you're marrying my brother. Are you ok with that?
FL:...

And round in circles it goes. Ffs. 🤦‍♂️
They're supposed to be family, but nobody can tell anybody anything. And let's be real here, FL is too good for either of these brothers. One's a selfish coward, another's a habitual blame shifter and a jerk who's ready to throw his brother under a bus if it will give him vicarious power over the company.

It has a rather rough start but becomes excellent by the end.

Excellent, this is one of those dramas that needs it. Now they won't have to rush it if there's gonna be romance in the next season (and there should be if they're following the plot of the og TV series). I was afraid they're gonna slap it on as an afterthought at the end of season 1.
The og TV series this drama's based on had 5 seasons, btw. But the format was different, so I'll be happy even with 2.

Hell yea!

Acting was great, but they dragged it for too long. There was enough good plot only for 12 episodes, the rest was filler full of dumb cliches. And don't even get me started on useless waste of screentime that is FL's brother. Can't give it more than 7.

It has high enough rating, 8.5 is pretty high. And it has flaws, especially in the beginning with ML's over the top shenanigans and some investigative stuff that breaks suspense of disbelief.

That's good old hypocrisy for you. She'll soon get what's coming to her after all these years.

This show has a rough start and ML in the beginning is over the top and not very likable. But it gets seriously better when he starts taking the job seriously. Nearing the end the writing becomes very competent and there are next to none of his stunts anymore. The guy becomes a real cop, but at times he still uses his wealth to help solve a case.

They were taking and implementing all the notes from the book of cliches for the past 4 episodes or so. This drama should have ended after episode 12, they're just dragging it on.

Why would he lose the money? The money belongs to the family and he's part of it. Unless his father cuts him out of it, which he wouldn't, nobody can do anything about his inheritance.

She definitely didn't do it herself, because she's too frail to overpower anybody. It was definitely a man and we've got no known characters left besides the butler. So I too think he did it, but it was on her command.

What a joke of a family poor ML has. Everybody cheated on everybody, everybody lies, child mistreatment, incompetent father, cliche evil bish of a step-mother, giant skeletons in the closet. Yea, I'd resign in father's place too. In fact, I wouldn't even dare running for mayor until all of that dirt was cleaned thoroughly, I don't understand how he thought none of that would come to light.
FL's family is a stark contrast to that and maybe that's the point.

I think the brother is innocent. He just wants to protect the family, no matter how broken it really is.
His mother definitely is involved in all the murders, her husband's included. But she also has an accomplice who actually did these deeds. I don't want it to be the cliche "The butler did it!", but it starts leaning in that direction, considering the accomplice definitely was someone around both back then and now. Maybe taking care of ML was his way of atoning for murdering his mother.

When the dust settles, if his brother survives, I think ML will hide the fact that his brother was not the biological son and will give the company to him. And then he will return being a cop, cuz that's his real calling.

Yes.

I swear, every cliche in the book. Now they're teasing LDR in the preview. 🤦‍♂️

Yea, ML's brother is not actually his biological brother. ML's bish of a stepmom cheated on his dad with that murdered guy. She's behind all the murders involving ML's family it seems.

His brother is not his real brother though, as it turned out. ML is the only real son of his dad. Dad's wife cheated on him with that murdered guy who was ML brother's biological father.

Would be funny if the first son is not dad's actual son, making ML his only real son. That'd be a twist.

And they get especially nasty when there's an election season. All the dirt that can be dug up, will be. Not sure what ML's father was hoping for by not covering ML's heritage properly.

I wonder how his dad dressed his sudden appearance in his family. I thought the world knew he was an illegitimate son, but apparently dad was too much of a coward. Probably bribed someone to rewrite his id documents to pose as his and his wife's second son. But it wasn't good enough since the reporters got onto ML through his mother.
