Not A Bad Watch!
For People who want to watch or watching this drama, they definitely didn't follow the Manhwa - I was astonished because almost all the things were different from the manhwa so the question will be " did they fuck the drama? " - No they didn't, the leads somehow made it into a not a bad watch ones. One can even say that the Leads Carried it on their shoulders though they could've toned down the so called cute moments. And I liked how they actually shown the kid and the b'day celebration at the last episodes rather than stick the end as bland one without showing the baby. I loved they showed the actual baby.So Basically like
Did they follow the Manhwa ? - NO
Is this a Bad Drama to watch ? - NO
Is this one of the best Romcom ? - NO
But if you didn't read the manhwa or if you don't care about the manhwa to drama truthfulness or just want a good romcom then go for it.

Absolutely Stunned!!
I had low expectations because of the reviews which said this one was bad during its airing so i kept it in my watchlist and the low review also made me hesitate but I gave it a try because I like both main leads previous works.And I couldn't say more so I was stunned.The Acting was phenomenal as you could see when the soul actually changed even without the accent. The comedy was very enjoyable which became a rarity in most of the dramas these days. The Ost was so likable to the point I saved it in my playlist of spotify ( I don't usually pay attention to drama ost with the few expections of this drama, Goblin, Love scout and descendents of Sun ). All the Actors did a wonderful job on showing their acting even the second fl as contrary to many reviews I liked her acting ( she could do more if she practiced more expressiveness but still better than her previous work so I was okay with her ).
The 14 episodes was the cream on the top, anything more would've felt boring and anything less wouldve felt short. The Dead King was piece of shit and the villain was more piece of a shit - didn't feel a single shread of pity for him. The Current King, the Ml father showed a terrific show of helplessness which I really liked it. As always the Sejong and Tae oh acting was good, and the chemistry was so good to the point I loved their banter in the second half.
So if you want to watch this drama, Give it a try don't worry about the reviews - still don't understand why this one is less than 8. So give it a Try.

Good Story with Good Acting.
First of All. I never Write review for any dramas till now and this is first review about a drama from me ig. The Reason is the low marks for this drama. The drama was engaging from the start to finish without feeling like a stretch and it was interesting.The StoryLine is about a Rich Father with little time of life wants revenge against his daughter's killer by exposing their crimes. The MFL is chosen as a Bodyguard and left with the whole company's share for the said main reason and is hidden as a trap in a place or village for exposing the Villain agenda.
What I Liked
1. The Acting was really Good. All actors did brilliant job including the supporting actors. The Main Leads along with the character hye ji did a fantastic job on showing loneliness with a Lil bit of psychopathic tendency.
2. The Storyline didn't trail anywhere at all. It was steady but still gave few Comedy along with subtle romance.
3. The Action was okay and kinda realistic tbh. Most reviews said the Fl was shown strong but made to be useless. But The truth is that in knife fight, it ends once one gets a good stab and a person can only handle like 3 person at a time while fighting barehanded. And I was impressed the fl actually shot the killer as I was expecting the writer to halfass it like other Kdramas.
4. The Screen Play and cinematography are really Good and was nice to watch.
5. The Ending was happy ending for the fellow watchers like me who watch only if its happy ending. I liked how they ended the Last episode with a marriage of second couple with a good closure of main leads reunion.
6. The Portrayal of Real Death of the Chairman was done perfectly well the screenwriter and director by slowly building up the fact that he is actually dying so the audience don't have to feel too bad about him dying. But he rather died by exposing the crime by himself. I Loved that. And I also liked how in the middle episodes they shown subtle scenes like sound of shower or Soju in the room implementing the fact that someone(Chairman) still alive in the earlier episodes.
What I didn't like
1. Too Legal. Almost all the Kdramas has this troupe ( except the gangster dramas ). Almost all the problems in the dramas has to be faced legally while the enemy will do all the things under the table. I mean if you have money then you have to do it even as a safety measure to safeguard oneself.
2. Lack Of depth of love between leads. I only like the romance pact solely because of the leads who done the best job at showing their feelings without really saying it. It worked out well but it would've been bad or like shit if anyone messed up.
3. Lack Of Supporting Characters depth - this one is not really a problem since they showed proper depth of supporting characters like hye ji but they could've shown the fl childhood more and their father, mother along with the ML past. But Since it was really fast paced drama, it didn't matter but could've made it better.
Overall Its a really a good drama, not a masterpiece like WLGYT or WYWS or Mercy For none. But its definitely a Great drama like 9/10 drama

One of the Underrated Drama
This is the first time I am writing review for a drama out of the 250+ dramas i watched till now. Because this is one hell of a underrated Drama.First of all, I didn't have any knowledge or cast or anything about this drama, I only watched this because of a reel i watched in Instagram. But the Casting and Acting was perfect and the scenarios and screenplay was so good. Almost all the Episodes are almost Perfect.
Bad : The First Episode is Kinda draggy and one might drop it since it felt like a Blind turn on a road. But Once you get through it, it becomes the best.
Good : The Ost was nice, the screenplay and directing was quite brilliant, the 12 episodes felt perfect, not too much or not too short but perfect. The Acting was great, and it shown how people show care differently. The Romance is Nice and Humor is perfect. Not Cringy or slapstick humor but a good kind of Humor. And No Love Triangle ( this is for my fellow triangle haters ). Each Episode will make you cry or maybe not but I did cry. so Overall its one of the perfect Drama for me.
