Good Drama, Fresh Plot, Needed More Episodes

This was honestly a pretty okay show. Nothing too crazy or groundbreaking, but I actually liked it 😭

The funniest part is that I literally started watching it because I saw a reel of Hyun-woo from episode 1. I usually read the synopsis, reviews, ratings, literally everything before starting a show, but for this one I knew almost nothing. I just started watching.

Episode 1 was probably my favorite, and I really liked episode 3 too. Episode 2 though... yeah idk 😭 I didn't really enjoy the whole Joker thing that much. But after that, I pretty much enjoyed everything.

Then while watching I saw Go Min-si and was like wait yes, I'm definitely watching this. And then Kim Min-ha showed up as his sister and I was like??? yess I'm staying 😭

Basically I started this for Lee Jae-wook and stayed for everyone.

The cast was genuinely so good. I loved the agency boss too, and I feel like so many of these characters could've been explored way more.

That's probably my biggest problem with the show. 8 episodes just weren't enough, especially when they're so short. There were so many things I wanted to know more about. Even from the first episode, like the women in that room. There were so many little things where I kept thinking okay wait... are we coming back to this or not.

Things were happening and they were interesting, but I wanted to know more. Why is this happening? How does all of this work? What's the story behind these things? What's going on with these characters? It felt like there was so much more to this world than what we actually got to see.

And the ending definitely made me feel like there should be a season 2 because hello, I wanna know, What happens now? Does he actually become what they're setting him up to become? And if he does, what is he going to do?

So yeah, it was interesting, the cast was great, and it's definitely a good watch. I just wish it had been longer and explored its world and characters more. ⭐
