Tough job handled by a cool guy

I am quite late watching this drama as there were so many others that pique my interest first. But as I started watching it, it is like a good book that you cannot put it down.

The Story:
No violence, no sci-fi, no love story. And I like the way it is as we see how an M&A expert did his job with his brains despite having so many oppositions. Am not knowledgeable of M&A, and this drama taught me how tricky it can be. Right words and right timing coupled with wisdom and patience are some of the elements that is in the M&A team. I like the M&A team's supportive attitude. The story won't be colorful without the villains, or antagonists.

The Actor:
Lee Je Hoon, I was pleasantly surprised by his appearance. In his other dramas like Taxi Driver and Signal (which I saw trailers only), he looks the tough guy, but here, he is way cooler with his white hair which fits him very well. I am having a hard time figuring out what else had changed since he looks more handsome here than having black hair. His acting, I should say fits well with the character - one who is careful with words, does not show anger or fear in his face despite of being played.
To me the rest are all supporting, though they played vital parts in how the story goes.

Am just thinking if the writer can think of a sequel - How Director Ha will play out now that he is on the other fence and what else will Ju No ask his senior to do. Am also wondering, if he is in good terms with his wife, will he return to her and adopted niece? But it can also end with just this and we assume, that the chairman trusts him now.
