Not the Original
Don't come into this with the expectation that it's going to follow the webtoon it doesn't whatsoever. Don't expect it to compare to season 1 it doesn't whatsoever. However its good for what it is children playing gangster wars.Gray's combative prowess are far weaker than season 1 or the comics, his ability to study the situation and his environment to produce the most desirable outcome has stagnated.
Ben Park seems like a less intriguing role replacement for suho. Mid cast choice his build doesnt fit.
Jung tae dont get me started on this mf didnt like him in the comics either but he plays his role. good cast choice
Alex Go actually was a pretty good character although he wasnt supposed to be a taekwondo major i think they mixed up his character with the green afro hair. Decent character and good cast choice.
Wolf keum, by far the best casting ive seen on this show the actor fit the character so well and they stayed true to wolf keum from the comics.
Donald na, what a disappointment. Donald Na was far above what was displayed on this show from his combat abilities to his intelligence to his connections to his looks. Firstly donald na is tall, pale, tattooed, blonde with red eyes these are distinct features of the character that add to his identity sure i understand red eyes might be iffy even blonde hair but the height and tattoos are a no go. Hes supposed to be exceptionally smart he would not fall for weak provocation nor would he be outsmarted that easily. His combat ability is so far above grey at this point aswell not to mention his connections. The union was far larger and more powerful, it had political influence aswell.
They just made this out to be the same thing as highschool gangster and study group, a bunch of kids fighting.
Disappointing for a remake of a book but as a standalone its alright

Firstly, I really enjoyed episode 11. From her being the one on the recieving end of someones manipulation, to jae ohs insane plan and sacrifice. I didn't think he'd go so far as to letting himself die. Then to her flipping the script on do hyuk. In episode 12 I knew what was coming as soon as I saw jun seos reaction as I had read the mydramalist summary before I had a gist of what would happen but man the satisfaction of her reaching the top and for everything to come crashing down like jenga blocks. Not to mention the documentary was so well done and fun to watch and then when shes running out on the street lost and alone, suddenly he appears jun seo. The car ride would be my second favority scene in the show after the award show, I was elated thinking this was likely the best ending that could happen, as I think jun seo is not also innocent since hes been allowing her actions so far he is also responsible to an extent. If you look back on my comments I had said, the ideal way for this story to end was the mutual destruction of all parties involved. Unfortunately it didn't happen, the greedy pigs couldn't just end the story well, noo. How could they make more profit if the story ends there guys? Man what a drag. Anyways, not interested in part 2 when they could easily have finished everything off there if those 2 died, the old man from the shop releases the footage on doohyuk, jun seos mother dies after falling down the stairs, sim seung or whatever her name is is already in a mental clinic. All would have been good and dandyWas this review helpful to you?
