This Drama is a chess match composed of insight, focus, and will. Understanding the essence of individuals, always keeping one's goal as the decision maker, and the determination to follow through are the strengths of the main character. There is no chosen protagonist. The audience decides. The antagonist is our own bias. If people see Lee Yo Won's character as "cold and calculating", it is a reaction to her blunt honesty in her assessment of people and relations.
I absolutely enjoyed this Drama. It exposed yet another aspect of us. A side of us we so quickly dismiss.
Lee Yo Won is an incredible professional. She is adept at communicating complex and mixed emotions without overt expressions. This is a talent and gift.
Kudos to the writers, directors, and actors. Very well done.
This is such an underrated gem and it has such a legendary cast as well! I don't think it should have such a low rating considering how well-produced it is. I fell in love with the drama from the first episode. Seo Yi Kyung was such an incredible female lead. It's so refreshing to have a female character who understands business on such a scale. I suppose the drama is not for everyone because it may seem slower, but if you enjoy power struggles and scheming, definitely watch it. The sismance was incredibly strong almost to the point it felt like GL. I loved the OST and the stunts, they really made me love it even more! The ending may feel weird for some, but I think it was very beautiful and consistent with the character development.
I'm currently on episode 10 and I must say that the relationship between the two ladies keeps me going, it's what's keeping me invested. They have great chemistry and the focus of their dynamic is 100% on them without the intrusion of an unnecessary love story with the male lead (or any other character so far). It completely passes the Bechdel test. It also borders on non-platonic so much that I feel confident in stating that there are romantic feelings between the two. No doubt in my mind that this was intended by the creatives.
I keep speeding past most of the business scheming, it's too slow and pretty uneventful most of the time. The first three episodes sell the FL as a pseudo-mafia daughter but instead of leaning into that it becomes more and more watered down. She's just a tough businesswoman in the end...kind of wish they had made her much more ruthless.
you are all so hateful. stop commenting "the og is better", just watch the damn kdrama without constantly mentioning the og version. i came to the comment section to read some reviews because i sincerely LOVED money heist korea, but all i can find is hateful comments and comparisons. so annoying.
This is so good the interview thing annoyed me actually but I love how it got better each ep. FL character was so relatable I loved her so much I don't understand why people think she is bad anyway I will always defend angst amount was perfect everything happened at the right episode.
Bonus: I watched this for Kim Jiwon after QOT once again she's incredible <3
I don't like the FL. Now my dislike is increasing while watching this series. I hope the FL won't work with any…
can I know why ? I understand that everyone has a style of acting that he likes but she's so good that it's hard to dislike her acting she's pretty and has a good personality so why? (I'm really asking)
Yeah, in the U.S. that first kick by her supervisor would have resulted in a criminal assault charge and a civil…
Well they do have the cultural aspect of Karoake and drinking parties, I don't think its that far from physical assault in a violent manner when anger hits.
Those dancing and drinking parties really make me throw up, how can the ladies even accept that... Its one thing to deal with corporate drama in the office, its another to even deal with it in casual life.
Well Korea is a hierarchical society but at least they are not submissive to the extent of the Japanese. I guess that invigorates the violence aspect. Whereas Japanese can be controlled by conformity and the obligation of respect and shame.
The actors are all very good, and though the storyline and pacing are too frequently repetitive and uneven, the series has its moments. There just aren’t enough of them. I actually enjoyed the second lead couple better than the first. Their story was much more interesting. And what’s with all the drunken scenes in this series. That got really sloppy and boring. I ended up yawning, “here we go again” and skimming most of those. The series could have been cut several episodes and focused better. It’s still better than average, though.

I give it a 6.8/10 so far.
both original and remake are really good, we all agree the original is a masterpiece but this is also amazing
