Ahh another drama of Lee Jong Suk that has something to do with justice and doing what's right! It is something that I admire in him.

I can say that this is a drama that is such an eye-opener for me to the NEWS side of the Media Industry. I totally saw what people with power can do to manipulate everything that we see in the media in order for us to believe something that is false. Starting with the plot, I really admire that it actually roots from something for the leads or the main characters to solve. I also like the character development of the characters in the whole drama. Thinking that they were simple characters with such ambitions, you can see how they realized things that were causing them grief and pain.

Going to the characters, this is one of the Park Shin Hye characters that didn't annoy me at all. I'm glad that her character here as Choi In Ha was natural yet it gave a look at how strong she can be in order to do what's right. I don't have much to say about Lee Jong Suk's character or Dal Po because he portrayed it really well. He was someone funny, but he was also someone that knew how to be caring despite his clashing emotions between love and hate. Lee Jong Suk's acting did not disappoint! I'm glad Dal Po and In Ha were mature enough to solve problems and I like that they didn't drag the romance part of the drama too much.

I also loved Kim Young Kwang as Seo Bum Jo! Literally a different chaebol in your usual dramas. The only thing I didn't like about him was at the beginning of the drama, for some reason, what he did put me off. Lee Yoo Bi as Yoon Yoo is the cutest! My friends told me that they were annoyed at her for me, she isn't at all. She gives off such a light mood for her character that was somehow relatable at some point. Let me also applaud the veteran actors and the supporting casts in this drama. I would like to highlight Yoon Kyun Sang and Shin Jae Ha because seriously, they were both so good. Even with little screen-time, they never failed to capture my attention at how good they act and how they portrayed their characters. I was sympathetic and at the same time, I understand where the hard emotions were coming from.

I had a hunch that Every Singe Day was part of the OST in this drama and when I searched it up, I was right haha. I loved how the songs created by the band fits just right for the drama.

This drama had flaws, and I really think that despite the good character development, it's just hard for me to watch 20 episodes. But that's better than rushing and fitting all the consequences in 16 eps. Overall, I give this drama a 9.5/10.

P.S. More dramas for Shin Jae Ha pls!
