Needed more episodes
I think this show would have been a great one with 20 episodes in total.The story is interesting, the reveals are fun, the characters are believable. I really enjoy this type of con/heist type shows that are lighter in tone than what the Korean media usually comes up with. I liked how this show managed to keep it light but still hint at the darker themes. The balance was kept well.
The problem was, they didn't have enough time to cement their main theme. When the line comes at the end, it rings hollow. Not only that, it reads as something else entirely.
Overall though, I really enjoyed it. Park Minyoung was absolutely brilliant in this.

When Yirang says Yoseop lost because he didn't have a community, it's totally news to us as the audience that "community vs individualism" was the theme of the show. We've seen cases against greed and cases against callousness, but they didn't develop this enough for this line to land. Instead, we've seen Yirang and her rich clique taking down a man who made his way up the social ladder through playing the rich. If they had more time developing the villain beyond that, this show would have been a 10 for me.
