I think this drama aims critical acclaim, local ratings and awards, like Jeongnyeon last year and it may do even better. For LJH personally, its a chance to showcase acting to those only watched King the Land. As this isn't a popular genre on Netflix, they seems are not actively promote it rn. Really a bonus if the show also does well internationally in terms of numbers. So far its reception is very positive on social media tho.

He's such a great actor, the scene where he apologized for unpaid salary was so realistic that made me feel the burden of being a human boss.

The rose is a potential plot, probably the product that leads him to ultimate success.

Need 4-6 Episodes then we can actually see the trend.

The real adventure began at the moment ML joined the co. as formal employee, and the business plot started to set in. The last 20mins of EP2 was excellent, love the twist, tension and emotional outbursts.

Yeah love the bromance between ML and Nammo. And I have a feeling that the friend who ran away might help him back when one day he's in need.

Rating of TF Episode 1: 5.874% (National)/ 5.730% (Seoul). The highest rated premiere Episode among tvN weekend dramas this year.

A very solid EP1. They seems invested alot to bring back the nostalgic vibe in late 90's and it worked out well. Pacing was right for me, I particularly like how they unfolded the emerging of crisis through incidents surrounding the mainlead. The father-son relationship, friendship and rivalry tension were well depicted in just one episodes.

I mean Weekend drama on Netflix only, Mon/ Tue dramas are on other OTTs. Law & the City is the only weekend not on NF but its produced by CJ ENM not SD.

Acc to Namu, this one will simulcast on Netflix globally.

Probably the highest ranking for an unreleased drama this year. The main trailer also got good viewcounts on Youtube, overall a good sign.

Seems Studio Dragon has a contract with Netflix to simulcast all tvN weekend dramas this year. The show after TF will be on Netflix too.

Due to football game next week

Added Typhoon Family and The Dream Life of Mr. Kim

Sometimes loveline in a non-romance drama can be even more captivating than a melo/ romcom, this show has that potential. No hot kisses or free falling cliches in this scene but still manages to make you fluttering. Acting, directing, music all on point.

LJH is a Baeksang best actor with multiple hits, enough said. He doesn't have to look up to anyone else. After a romcom (KTL) that gave him popularity, it's wise for him to take on other genres. A good actor needs breakthrough rather than staying in comfort zone. Also don't compare a romcom with a life drama, two shows pursue different things. They are not even competing shows in same timeslot.

I love her but please hire professionals instead of relatives to run the agency.

👏

Good pacing and storytelling, best of current airing shows.

Yea it's good for Netflix to broaden its catalogue by offering different genres, not always thrillers or fun fluffy shows.
