Good plot, executed badly
I was really excited for this drama to air as it had a really good cast, and an interesting premise. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. Overall, it was enjoyable but nothing special.My first problem is the FL. Don't get me wrong, Sooyoung is a great actress, but I felt like her character was written in an unrealisitic way. I feel like this is because as soon as she became the ML's lawyer, she immediately stopped fangirling. As a fangirl myself, I found this to be unbelievable even if the character is supposed to be extremely professional. Also, the fact that she was supposedly professional contradicts with the fact that she was living with her client.
Another issue I had is the ML's ex. For the first few episodes, I found her to be a good character, and quite enjoyed the scenes she was in. But towards the end, I just found her annoying. Not only that but I feel like the group treated her really badly considering that although she wasn't the nicest of people, she had no bad intent towards any of them. I also wasn't happy that there wasn't really a closure between her and the ML.
There were also a couple of other things that got on my nerves a bit, but I won't go into that now.
In terms of things I enjoyed, I thought the chemistry between the ML and FL was really believable and they were also very likeable characters. Another thing I enjoyed was the addition of the ML's mother, as I found her to be an interesting character, although I really wish that there had been more scenes with the ML and her together.
Would I recommend this drama? Probably not. However, if your bored and there is nothing else to watch, go for it!

Bad ending but overall really good
This kdrama recieves so much hate, and although I can understand why, I do think that it is actually really good.Firstly, I think a lot of people are upset about Jaei not choosing Kang Ha but honestly by the end of the kdrama I was so sick of him and actually I realized that Rian is sort of sweet. In my opinion, Kang Ha thought that he was the victim, even though everyone was going through something. Yes, Rian is supposed to be horrible and mean, but I think he was right for Jaei, and Kang Ha was just a bit arrogant.
The story didn't exactly make complete sense, but this was one of those kdramas where it didn't really matter too much. I was just watching for the charcters, not really the main plot. I know this is very controversial but Woojin and Jisoo were actually my favourite couple and I cried so much when Woojin ended up with Hera.
The problem with this kdrama is that they left the story open and finished on a cliffhanger, where someone was murdered, which made it seem like there was going to be a second season, although there is no news of that.
I would really recommend this kdrama, and I have already told ALL my friends to watch it, and see what they think. Yes, there may be clear issues with the story and some people are unsatisfied with how it turned out for Kang Ha but I still think it is such a masterpiece.
