Hades

It's better for him, why does he need a disloyal wife?, he will move on.

It appears that Eui Jeong is not loyal to Joon Mo in the end.
Bad ending

At the end of the day he is a criminal and a gang leader of the drug organization, there is no way he will ever live a peaceful life or fullfill dream life with his love, or escape his fate.

In episodes 9 and 10, more interesting things happened, and each couple is starting the stage of their budding romance, with the interactions creating a close-knit bond between the two couples. The upcoming episode preview hints at a prediction of an accident involving Yi Chan, and Eun Gyeol is seen trying to stop that accident.

That elite cop is complicating things and welcoming more dangerous situations for Joon mo.

I don't believe that's the only reason he finds Joon Mo trustworthy. Ki Chul is often biased towards Eui Jung due to the fact that she is his first love in both the past and the present. Moreover, ki chul and his stubbornness could become problem in his future, because of he often falis to listen his trustworthy gang members. The reason behind is that he is blinded by love sickness.

Eui jeong's character is useless character untill EP 9. She didn't make any progress in the investigation. The show is much better Without that character. Ha Rayeon is much more better than Eui jeong character.

In the story, there are few romantic moments between the main lead (ML) and the female lead (FL), and these moments are limited to the end of the story. Furthermore, the ML lived with toxic people in both his past and present life, and the secondary male lead (SML) often acts in a creepy manner. Most of the drama in the story revolves around the romance between FL and SML, but in the end, FL chooses the ML. FL and SML romance, she is confused between because of her heart. The below comments divided between ML and SML, most of them SML side and not satisfied with the ending. SML is also engaging in unjust actions by accusing and acting with a prejudiced mindset towards a particular person, even though he is a two-timer and cheated in a relationship with FL. Additionally, the writer justifies this cheating by portraying his fiancée as turning into a psychopath.
The fickle mind of the Female lead has damaged her character, and she lacks a specific stance when it comes to love. That's why her past and present are constantly in conflict with the main leads.

The ending of the drama was not convincing. In the webtoon, I noticed a different ending based on some comments. Joon ended up with a different woman. Overall, the drama was good, but it highlighted how a celebrity's life is often controlled by toxic fans and agencies."

They are bunch of hypocrites, and they're acting as it they if they've never seen any violent movies/dramas in their whole life.

Everyone has the right to criticize the drama. It's not a one-way path and everyone knows this is an action thriller.However, the drama conveys differs from the actual meaning, with the writer showing this uncessary romance distract and spice things up. Viewers are allowed to criticize it.

Ki chul living in his delusional world, Ki Chul has chosen the path to become a gang leader, but now he is contradicting himself for a woman and not listening to his path followers and friends. The central plot of this drama is slipping with unnecessary romance that doesn't contribute to the main storyline. Ki Chul's future will become messy and uncertain, and he will face unprecedented situations. Maybe he will pay for his sins with his death or imprisonment.

Is the show cancelled? I saw some news related this drama.

Ji Chang Wook is the backbone of the drama. Literally, it's a one-man show with his acting and versatility compared to other main leads. He carries the entire show and the story."

It's subjective

That medicore plot is creating more ruckus on the viewers. It's the writer and director problem creating that vulnerability rather than focusing main plot, instead of creating infidelity like romance. An action, thriller turned into romance. The Normalisation of cheating in a relationship is the by product of writer and director.

She wanted to rekindling old love rather than mission. Moreover, SML addressed FL as a Noona, but his feelings is different from that addressing and his stubbornness and gang members warning him not involving with police, he didn't listen them. However,She can reject and draw boundaries as a Noona.

I am not disliking the character. But, every time watching her she screwing up every situation and she is calling the first to SML and she is approaching the first to SML. She can provide her support gathering Intel from other sources rather than direct approach. It's like Soviet times KGB using the same
trick she is used gather information from enemies. But, this she is directly involving the each scenario.
