A fun watch with 3 ridiculously attractive leads!
First off, I loved the three main characters and the side characters that helped them complete their tricks. That being said, the show started to slow down in the middle for me and I had to push through to finish it. I wonder what would have happened if they skipped the whole cute-rich-girl-kidnapped-for-money-scheme and it was just three people who sought to make money while righting the wrongs of people in power who abused others. I don't think the connection of how that that traumatic experience shaped the FL was developed and discovering who the mastermind was and the con to get him were not as satisfying as I would have liked.Was this review helpful to you?

For the most part it's a fun binge-able show!
This show started off so soap -opera like but with so much tension and chemistry between the main leads that I was hooked. Was it ridiculous? Yes. Was it cringy? Beyond yes. Did it leave a smile on my face? Yes. But I agree that the plot in the middle was too long and it "lost its way." The ending was mostly satisfying but the background information on the twins and how they parted was given no air time. Side note, OST was pretty good! One last thing, the main leads are so ridiculously attractive. and I loved their spicy scenes🔥🔥🔥.Was this review helpful to you?

Started strong and fell off midway
Acting was excellent. I saw that this was based on a novel which leads me to believe they shoved too much of the plot into 8 long episodes instead of the usual 16. This leads the show to have a strange pace that increased the further into the show I went. By the end, I started skipping forward in a rush to combat losing interest but wanting to know how it ends. The story is interesting but was not delivered in a way that compelled the viewer to care about certain things - like the murder that takes place. By the end of the show, I felt puzzled and wondered how the main divorced couple even ended up together as they seem like such an unlikely couple. There is definitely a hint of mystery and desire to root for the new wife and husband yet i'm not sure if it's because I liked their characters or because I want to save them from the shitty characters (ex wife, stalker, ex husband of FL) in the show.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best GL dramas but...
Like my title says, it's probably one of the best GL's that i've seen but that being said there are some obvious issues with it. It starts off better than it ends with the two leads meeting during school and having a cute competition that leads to one lead pining for the other and the other wanting to win against the other lead. That being said, they don't actually interact with each other until later as adults. Towards the middle of the season I found myself skipping ahead over the boring stuff until in the last episodes I cut out so much that it was essentially a trailer instead of an episode. That being said, the soundtrack was good and i'm going to download some of the songs so I can listen to them again and it made me curious about the other drama, affair, featuring both leads as I think they acted very well with what script they were given.Was this review helpful to you?
Started good but dropped off midway
Sadly, LJH couldn't save this show and all I have to remember it is the soundtrack which stood out.Every episode felt similar with out ML taking on too much for him to handle because he felt bad for someone else while suffering different but similar setbacks. While we know this business meant everything to his dad its tough to believe that someone who was so disinterested in his dad's career while alive would struggle to keep it afloat after instead of finding some other job.
