Definitely not worth your time - I just watched it bc I do like Park Min Young, TOP, and Lee Min Ho.
The only thing I enjoyed about this were the comical moments and just how far we have come in kdramas.
I definitely think they could have made a better ending - it was not satisfying.. it really should have ended around episode 14 or so...
There are some deep quotes/poetries around but overall nothing too deep or moving. Really played along the silver line with the love-interests and honestly was shipping more for the Park Min Young and TOP.
I had to skim through and play this on 1.25 speed bc there were so many slow moments/episodes...
Overall - once is enough and was entertaining enough to keep in the background but nothing to really focus and dive into.
Honestly, this drama sort of took me by surprise - I originally wanted to watch it because of the main cast and I love the male lead but man... I actually really did not care for the romance AT ALL.
Also, they did a GREAT job of keeping you on your toes until the LAST episode - I feel like other dramas by like 14/15 they slow down and show all the happy ever afters...
Instead, I was so focused on the rivalry between the main character and the antagonist!! (MAJOR props to his acting - the father specifically, absolutely astounding and portrayed his character with such amazing display of pride, power, and intelligence)!!
I knew it would be a revenge story but MAN just some of the plot twists really had my JAW dropped and angry, sad yet hopeful and another ride of emotions - except this was to an extreme. Some things, I don't know if others saw it coming but I was just like??? how people were related and at times I really thought "good" characters were BAD but ended up being "good" LOL
I also LOVE a story that just has a strong female protagonist - it's not as often as male ones and just loved the drive and pressure felt throughout!!
Also overall, I think the cast were perfect! Each and everyone played such good roles suited to their aesthetic, character, and attributes. You could really see the professionalism, patience, and corruptness of each and everyone - I can't stop raving about the casting.
It's been a while since I've been addicted to a drama and the cliff hangers left me wanting more. Would recommend, especially if you love a GOOD revenge and an EARNED one!
Literally the best way I can describe this drama. I also think this drama is super underrated and without spoiling it really tugs at you with so many emotions, realizations, and just any other relatable content.
Justice, power, money of course - but facing reality (death, relationships, the truth of someone you adore, friendships, and wanting to protect the dear ones to you).
Some parts were slow but overall loved watching it.
I did love the main leads - all the ladies had their unique quirks and personalities, and loved how they all came together.
Loved the romance between the main female and male leads - what came of it and honestly so different from other male leads? Not the typical aggressive, kdrama falling in love - it was so different on many levels (probably due to their story line but still!)
Honestly, would recommend! It was definitely an intriguing watch!!
For a drama made more than 5 years ago - this was really good!
Had a lot of action and cliff hangers~ and revolved around revenge, justice, corruption, integrity, trust being broken, and just real life emotions and patience etc.
There was definitely some romance - very slight but cute!
Loved the chemistry between the main male leads and honestly how their relationship develops and ends up becoming.
Worth the watch - if scenes get slow I would just skip through!
The stories were pretty cute! Another light series to add - extremely short series with 3 different scenarios~
Personally, I think they were all pretty good in their own way - some of them may have not ended how one may have imagined or wanted but still had good endings.
Really young romance/crushes, and realistic problems that are definitely relatable.
Great choice on the actors/actresses! All played their parts well and were adorable! Honestly gave such a nostalgic feeling - leaving missing school love, friends, and just youthful memories!
Wouldn't say this is a MUST watch but another wouldn't mind leaving behind the background type and lightly watching.
Honestly, overall - super fun energy filling watch!
Has a lot of action and good antagonists and really LOVE the two male leads - they do an amazing job of character portrayal and contrast! Such great chemistry, acting, and stunts!
The story starts off amazing and then mid-way sort of turns gear towards another direction... The ending DOES all tie up well together but really did not like the middle turning point...
Overall, still great humor - had so many laughs and tears here and there! Such a thriller of a lot of action and gore (not a huge fan of that but it goes well with the plot).
Totally would recommend for a fun and thrilling drama!
A definite LIGHT watch! Super easy to follow and cute cast! Interesting little skit of innocent friendship, romance, and coming of age development!
Just sort of nice little in the background type of series - nothing intense or serious. Overall cute humor and not of a bad meaning + depth portraying the importance of friendship, apologies, and epiphanies!
I would find some parts sort of cringy/exaggerated but honestly, it was just like a little highschool's squeal moment type series. Still had some laughs and good moral/feeling realizations! Thought it was made with good intentions!
Although this does have romance, the main focus isn't about it!
From the beginning of the first episode, it is filled with action, amazing humor, and amazing cast of characters!!
Really goes into details about the brotherly bond, friendships, and overall integrity of the whole theme!!
Great storyline as well, really could watch this season on its own~ But really makes you fall more in love with the mains from the last season. All the sides stories were heart wrenching and even the villians were entertaining and really played their part!
Also the music + songs were top tier !! Really got you in the moments of justice, sadness, and excitement!
A very enjoyable drama - whether you watched the first season or NOT! Recommend!
It looked promising at first but then... the story was just so lacking? It felt like the climax never hit? Just some sorts of problems here and there, and the couple (note, I love the actors separately) but the CHARACTERS they had to play just didn't FIT.
The dude seemed so mature and the girl seemed SOOO childish - like - it would have been a cute college love but just didn't fit together.
I just think as a couple they didn't really match well or mesh well - parts seemed awkward and almost too cringey. Uncle + Niece vibes were WAY more accurate.
I also loved the side loves/stories so much more - humor was there though. I truly did laugh a lot but I was NOT interested in the PLOT at all. I literally whizzed/skimmed through it to just find out the ending results etc.
The antagonists of the stories were also just meh and were solved so quickly - like no effort put in.
Overall, wouldn't watch again but still glad I did bc I know now. Wouldn't really recommend if you find your time precious but the main actor + 2nd leads were such eye candies.
QUICK AND THE GUY IS SO ATTRACTIVE. BUT WHAT THE HECK - all I can say is yes, this is relatable in the sense that some women are such foxes as the "friend" like bro come on.
And yes men are like this, they chase, get the girl, and get bored.
I originally wanted to only watch this drama bc of Eric but honestly the cast was nice! Even Ha Jin :(
This drama was unique with the side interviews to really show the characters' inner feelings in which most dramas have the audience infer or guessing~
I loved the approach of how realistic/relatable this drama was! The hardships of heartbreak, break ups, starting a new relationship/over, dealing with bumping into exes etc... Also how this made me question how everyone defines love extremely differently and how important being able to be yourself around someone is also an aspect of love - not everything can be fixed or completed with just pure effort/emotions.
This drama just had such a roller coaster of emotions and really have you frustrated yet somehow understanding vibe.
I also love how all of the characters - no one was exactly PERFECT and showing their development / growth was so fitting for this theme.
The characters were great! Although the main girl - she kept raising her eyebrows a lot LOL...
Overall, even the side stories were cute and tear-jerking. Totally would recommend!!

A classic highschool bully etc type drama.
Honestly, every "revenge" felt SO well deserved!! Finally a drama that really gives what the audience wants in terms of justice and integrity!
However, that made this drama pretty predictable ~
Cute romance however the main girl - she's definitely not my favorite but going along with it since she's so young, especially in the drama too.
Cha Eun Woo was adorable as always and I actually really liked the male lead as well!
Super adorable and was a not bad watch!!

Pretty cute and still made me squeal at some parts.
Very predictable and sometimes awkward acting but it was still an adorable watch.
Loved the friendships and the innocent romance blooming. Very typical school-drama but just nice to have in the background.
Honestly, overall - super fun energy filling watch!
Has a lot of action and good antagonists and really LOVE the two male leads - they do an amazing job of character portrayal and contrast! Such great chemistry, acting, and stunts!
