As someone who rarely ever writes a comment on here, I felt I needed to. Spoliers will follow...
I just now got around to watching this and held off on reading the comments. Honestly I had no idea that there was any kinda insane feud over the male leads. And I'm sorry but it makes no sense.
Not at any point did I feel second lead syndrome. At no time did I think Dal Mi had feelings for Ji Pyung. It always felt like a respectful mentor relationship. Also she never once said she had feelings for him, as Ji Pyung. Even when she found out it was him who wrote the letters. I think she was grateful and loved him for being there for her, but not in a romantic way.
Dal Mi was "in love" (which is a stretch, I wouldn't call it real love) with the person who wrote the letters, which was Ji Pyung 15 years ago, but never the current Ji Pyung. Do San was always end game.
Also confident Do San is everything! I find it weird that people call him self centered and aggressive. I didn't get that from him at all.
Yo, as much as hàn seo got redeemed, let's not forget he murdered people as well. Yes he got guilty and his interactions…
It's not about him dying really. It's about how they ended the character. I still think he died for no reason considering it didn't add anything to the plot. Regardless if he died or not, they ended his character poorly.
I'm not talking about bond, I'm referring to the character of Vincenzo himself. It was out of character for him to sit there and not do anything. If Cha Young's life was most important to him, he should have fought off Jun Woo with Han Seo. Not sat and wait for someone else to do it. It just doesn't fit his character, in my opinion.
Han Seo literally died for no reason. Vincenzo being more worried about Cha Young after only being shot in the shoulder, makes it worse. He didn't move to help Han Seo when he was fighting Jun Woo and then showed him less attention even though he was shot in the stomach. Plus they didn't show Han Seo's funeral at all. I understand he's more of a "side" character but like he had no family right? It makes it seem he was left alone after dying, if that makes sense. It just feels like there was no closure to his character at all.
I absolutely love Seo Kang Joon. Going from Watcher to this drama, he's just an amazing actor who is cable of playing different characters and nailing each one. About this drama, I've watched the already aired episodes multiple times lol It's not too slow for me and I could have binge watched this if I hadn't been watching since the beginning. It is slow, but in a good way. The characters are amazing and the story is great. It's just a really warm drama. I'm really really enjoying it.
I absolutely loved this drama. As a few people have mentioned, this isn't a drama for everyone. If you haven't experienced work life yet, I think it's hard to relate to the characters and understand the message of the story. I could relate to every main character in this drama, which made it really special to me and I think it was really well done. Also, I actually liked the ending lol I would also like to mention there were times when I actually had to pause the drama during certain scenes and pace around my room because I was so angry at what was happening. Maybe not just angry, but because I could relate myself to the person at the time and it made me frustrated. Character wise of course, Geu Rae REALLY made me feel every emotion possible. His story from beginning to end was just a roller coaster. I will say however, that my biggest heartbreak in this show was seeing the breaking point of Suk Yool. As in watching his spirit being broken and losing who he was for a while. Maybe it was because I could see myself in that character more than the others. Anyway, this was definitely one of the best dramas I have seen. I hope everyone who can understand the message and story watches this and loves it as well.
I'll be honest and say that I only started this drama because Ji Soo was in it. I watched up until the 12th episode and decided to drop it. I don't know if they show him again or not, but even my love for him couldn't get me through this drama. I knew at episode 6 after that kiss scene that I wouldn't be aboard the main ship. It was just a big no, even from the beginning. I really liked the side characters though, especially Kang Soo.

I think PO is the killer everyone thought the doc was. It's a reach but I'm just saying lol

However, I'm on episode 7 and I feel like I'm going to end up with second lead syndrome.
