Could have been a 10 but three things hold it back (one mild spoiler - marked in the review)

This was a very well acted drama. Even the secondary characters were awesome.

The story was also different and interesting. It is a business drama, but not a romance.

It could have been a 10, but for 3 factors.

1) We watched it with English subtitles. We are pretty good at this, but even so there was some business-strategy dialog we didn't really get (and didn't want to rewind and re-watch).

2) I felt that a few things could have been wrapped up better at the end, with maybe 1 or 2 more episodes. (Or a season 2 ha ha.)

***SPOILER ALERT***

3) At the end, the CEO of their company punished our lead by firing one of his great employees. The CEO wanted to teach him a lesson. As someone who has managed people and run departments in a high-stress environment this is bullish*t of the highest order. You don't punish one person by hurting an innocent party. And, the lead was WAY smart enough to learn the lesson without the CEO firing someone. He could have just explained what the lead could have done better. This whole thing really pissed me off! It left a bad taste in my mouth at the end of a great series.
