I have to say, I was so excited going into this drama. I love both JoongDunk and FirstKhao, and was looking forward to them both doing this concept, as I wanted them to do so. But although I did find myself truly enjoying this series and was invested in it, it seemed very rushed and lacked a lot of strong points. I thought that they could have added much more to the plot, as it did not seem that they thought it out, if you ask me. This just seemed like they only wanted to put something out, not worrying about the quality. JoongDunk and FirstKhao themselves have amazing chemistry, which does keep us intrigued, but I'm sorry, this series did not seem to focus on what the viewers would think.

FirstKhao is on my top five favorite pairings, but their characters in this did not pull me the way I hoped. Their dynamic with the plot did not hit hard, which was disappointing. I would much rather watch all their other series together because they work better.
JoongDunk is also somewhere on my top five favorite pairings, and unlike FirstKhao's characters in this, I enjoyed the way Fadel and Style clicked in here. Joong's character, Fadel, has more depth than his brother, more storyline. Which is why I believe I enjoyed the series the way I did. And Dunk's character, Style, fit perfectly with him. Style added a bit of comedic relief. I don't understand why Dunk got so much hate for this. His facial structure is more on the relaxed side, making it hard to convey the emotional expressions you must display; however, it never felt forced.

Overall, both pairs did okay to make the show worth watching with what they could do. This series definitely seemed more about quantity than quality. However, I believe that if they had put much effort into the plot and script itself, even if that meant more episodes, then the show would have turned out better. The plot and script are the selling points; it's what keeps viewers interested. No matter who you cast or how great the chemistry between them may be, without a great plot, the show becomes boring and leaves a negative impression for people to just click off. Not to mention the ending of the final episode? I'm sorry, but it looked bad, obviously low budget, and downright rushed. I've seen many other works from this network, and I know they are much better about the plots and quality, which is why I believe they focused too much on just getting something out. In the end, I am surprisingly disappointed about the lasting impression of this series because I had high hopes for it.
