A Promising Premise That couldn't keep me hooked
I was excited for this drama—the storyline sounded interesting, and I like Ji Sung's previous work. The premise of a former gang boss, Park Hae-gang (Ji Sung), running for apartment president to get his hands on the hidden reserve fund was intriguing. I also enjoyed the fake family setup and the chemistry between the characters.
But I had a hard time staying focused. The first few episodes were painfully slow, spending too much time setting up the story without offering much payoff. I pushed through to episode 6, but by then I was bored and started skipping scenes, so I just dropped it.
Another major issue for me was the villain. The portrayal was so over-the-top and cringey—every time he appeared on screen, I couldn't take him seriously. It really brought down the overall quality.
It's a shame because I usually enjoy Tae Geun's dramas, but this one just didn't work for me. But despite the solid cast and interesting concept, the execution just didn't deliver for me.
