There's a lot of webtoons which feature reincarnation or possession or "redoing life," which is a trope I really enjoy. Unfortunately, they're usually not quite what I want, and even when they are they can't quite live up to the emotional impact that a drama has for me. But dramas in this category are few and far between. The only other one's I've managed to find are "Brush Up Life" and "See you in my 19th life," both shows which I enjoyed but didn't quite scratch the itch for (although 19th life came very close).

What I really want is a show with a talented protagonist using the opportunity to get ahead in any way they can. And this show does that. Fantastically. As soon as the first episode ending I was hooked, and through the first half of the show it was pure bliss. They even started setting a romance subplot which was really fun.

But things started to falter towards the end. Tricks and ideas to foil the villains were reused, the romance got rocky and sparse, and some of the conflicts began to feel like a bit of a slog. I think they could've done with a few more protagonists to keep the viewer invested. When the last episode hit I was livid: super not happy with where they took. They managed to win me back a bit, but I still remain incredibly unsatisfied with the ending. It's made even worse by the sparse chance there's a season 2.

Up until, let's episode 8 or 9, for me this was an easy 10/10. Factoring in the rest of it, especially the last episode, unfortunately brings it down to an 8.5. I would still recommend it, but just... ready your soul.

P.S. The leitmotif for the chairman is simply excellent.
