very cool, very classy

This is a great series. If you have waited to binge, you are in for a great ride. 2025, 12eps. at 1hr 10mims ea. Very cool, very classy. Makes M&A seem thrilling (evil, huh?). Really really good actors doing great work throughout. Even though Le Je Hoon is a genius, I want to list half-a-dozen others but I really cant without feeling guilty towards the rest of the cast.

Technically perfect. Everything contributes to the the enjoyment of the plot and of individual episodes, color and lighting choices, camerawork, sets -- nothing jars or distracts (unless you are completely addicted to ballad-based soundtracks, nice in their way but inappropriate here).

LJH emanates a deep sadness and careful balance. His character makes his way towards a difficult goal amidst the minefield of survival in SK corporate culture. Not unrealistically crazy corporate villains per comedy, but proper thriller villains.

The soundtrack, not meaning ballads or music but the sounds, is super interesting -- it makes you want to watch closely and quietly like a friend whispering discreetly in your ear. The opening song is fire and it gets better each time you start a new episode.

Dont miss out.
