An incomplete drama is never going to be above an 8.0

Ok so this drama did some things REALLY well. It was all together, very entertaining. Not focusing too much on dumb/irrelevant characters and a lot of it was pretty logical/straightforward.

The ML got dumb lucky all the time but that is simply the troupe of the drama so we overlook it.

I bought the express package on wetv showing I really did like it. Some scenes were simply awesome and i cheered for the ML. The ML is serious and takes his vengeance agenda seriously. In comparison to 'Be Yourself' where the ML is so ditzy and silly, this drama does just about everything better. (Side Note: Be Yourself is supposed to be a prequel but has no relation to this drama other than sharing some of the same actors and the ML's name)

On a whole, despite me enjoying the drama, nothing was tied up at the end because the story is "TO BE CONTINUED" - the unresolved love story, the unresolved everything means this drama gets dropped from whatever high rating to 8.0 because it's simply incomplete (when it didn't need to be).

All together 100% worth a watch but just like a lot of newly made vertical dramas that are going for "2 part series" and never releasing a 2nd part, it definitely weakens a short drama that otherwise has solid acting, a ML and FL that one can root for, and an interesting and entertaining storyline that will keep you interested from the start to finish.
