One of my favorite watch this year!!
I didn’t know watching a clueless guy handle economic crisis could so entertaining!
If this show was only centered around the main leads, it would have failed. Sure, the story lies heavily relies on Kang Tae Poong’s journey of self discovery. But it is his interaction with the other characters, namely the supporting cast that makes the storytelling crisp & refreshing. Everything about this show is nostalgia, brings back memories from the time when I was a kid and all kinds of new tic tacs were introduced-like pagers and mobile phones. The show plays on those feelings while adding its own incentives. The storyline focuses on the economic crisis that Korea and how it adversely affected the same range firms. The main lead’s journey through those difficult times, as he tries to save the company, his father founded are praiseworthy. He is a horticulturist, so technically he has no idea about how trading works. So, he starts from ground zero, fumbles along the way as he learns the ropes of the trade and finds a firm standing; carrying along his father’s legacy.
