A revenge driven plot with no cliche!

The story follows our main lead attorney Kang Pil Joo, which goes on a revenge journey to bring down Executive Jung Mal Ran.
He plans everything in detail with cautious planning. This characteristic will make you wanna watch more episodes.

The character built up is very good. The plot gets a little sketchy after episode 20. Then ending is played slowly to adjust each character's mood. You will get hyped up to episode 14 after that it's up to you to watch.
Anyway, I binge-watch this drama and am satisfied with a reasonable ending.

Trust me the direction and the soundtrack felt a little old and kinda boring. As this drama has no special OST to listen.

No rewatch for me.

decent start - perfect middle - disappointing end

I can best describe how I thought of Money Flower in exactly the same way a rollercoaster works. It starts decently with a vast amount of anticipation and makes me want to experience more. The middle is full of enjoyable action that really gets you hooked with the story. And then the end, where the adrenaline is no more and you're just waiting for the ride to end. Probably not the perfect analogy, but that's the only way I can describe Money Flower. Decent start, perfect middle, disappointing end.

Also, while the Main Leads acting and chemistry with one another is perfect, some supporting actors weren't on their "A" game for this one. I won't point out any names as I don't want to be rude, but some of the acting was cringe. Thankfully they were only some supporting characters and not part of the true main story. The OST was pretty much perfection though. Camerawork/cinematography wasn't perfect but that is just nit-picking honestly.

LOTS OF TWISTS AND TURNS

This is a very complicated and intense drama. It is mai. About a very wealthy family and their corporation. The family is so dysfunctional and evil it made for many mini dramas in the series. The family members are each trying to get control and will do anything including murder to get it. Stuck in the middle of everything is a naive daughter in law who didn’t get what was going on and an ex girlfriend who was very irritating in the story. I stayed up until 2 am two nights in a row as I had to know what happens next. Would have given this a 9 except for the last ten minutes which made me want to scream.

Could be Potential

I'm watching it with high expectation to get solid plot and story. And I feel I get it only half of it.
The main story it self is thorough and get the conclusion. However I don't know it is because of the PD or the writer, they put a lot of stress in the emotion or what, I need to fast forward 30s per scenes. I agree when I read also somewhere that it can be compressed to 16 episodes and remove very-very unnecessary scenes and sub stories.
Acting is no doubt, I think all actors and actress deliver well. But perhaps again with my first notes that the writing or the PD that not really give justice to the scene that I need to jump.
The role of the of Jang Kwook Han's mistress is really useless, I don't know why they can and turns out secretary Ahn and The Main Cook have some important thing to the story.

I Am Italian I'"m writing in Italian for a better understanding.


I have tried to wach this Drama some month ago in Italian with Italian subs but I dropped the Drama after 3 episode for boring.


I started to watch this Drama altough if it is not my kind of Drama that I love overall for Jang Hyuk being my favourite actor in absolute. ????


This has been my 9th Drama with Him, beyond different movies and shortmovies.
??

I am his big Italian fan girl. ??

Of this Drama I have appreciate the acting of all cast and one song. I hoped this Drama could be more interesting. I prefer Jang Hyuk overall in roles ROM-COM. ??????????

I have gone over this drama in 7 days.

Once time it's enough for me. Soon to watch Jang Hyuk in others roles ROM-COM. ??????????

But altough if I don't have appreciate this Drama, for me Jang Hyuk is however THE BEST ACTOR! ????????????

So far I'm loving the show. I started watching it for Jang Hyuk (love him). The story is moving along nicely (with some predictable story lines) but my pet peeve is the suspenseful music. At first I was loving it as it added to the drama but now I'm starting to wonder if I have to put up with it for another 20 episode. I mean it's starting to feel a bit over the top. et me unpause and carry on, see what more the story has to offer. I am a bit worried like most kdramas it will become repetitive and nonsensical but I live to be proved wrong.
