i throughly enjoyed this show. the action here is unlike any other kdrama ive watched, its very well done and believable. both the main characters here are so lovable and relatable, and so charismatic as a duo. secondary characters, like Mr.choi are just as precious. In ep 6, i was crying the whole episode because the connection of all these characters to each other was genuine and very human, and it was such a heartbreak for me to witness their downfall and the horrible way they were murdered. These are all the things i loved and enjoyed about this show, but after ep 6 it kinda felt less genuine to me somehow. the connection of our characters to the chaebol, the new girl and Mr. oh, the new “mole” who gets caught in one ep, the old sunabe who they utilize out of nowhere.. i had a hard time feeling bad when Mr.oh was in danger because this is the issue with this team, they never learn from their mistakes or learn how to back up their plans. never once throughout the show , since ep 1 where gun woos mom was in danger, did it ever occur to anybody to initiate any type of contact in case of danger. Mr.oh just lives in the countryside unprotected and the boys just leave him to attack the most capable gang leader they know… and they leave the mom the Mr. choi’s orphanage and then are surprised when they threaten her too? idk all in all it just seems like when they were new and amateurs these stupid mistakes were more acceptable (still stupid and preventable) , but now with their “glow up” it just is stupid and perventable and didnt really move me. the final boss’s death wasn’t all unsatisfying, but it did feel less impactful to me. i do understand that they needed this whole journey to strip him of his assets and resources, and it does make sense so maybe i was just that i was over it by the point he died. great show overall, i would watch season 2 when it comes out
