I love how they tackled social issues such as bullying, injustices, ex-convicts building a new life, sociopathy, racism, and transgender. It is a refreshing and different drama. I think it just got dragging and cheesy at the end though.
The message of this drama for me will always be that our happiness and value are in the people around us. The money and things we have don't have any value and we will not be happy if we don't have people we love around us. I will always think that the enemy situation that drove the story was a little overwhelming since the beggining, it made me especially rethink about the fact that people with money really rule the world as they want without punishment and it is something that really should stop.Geun Soo, Hyun Hi e Soo ah were my favourites characters, Geun Soo and Soo ah had theirs ups and downs, hurt people in the process but they are characters who really had a big evolution overall. Hyun Hi was definitely the character that stole my heart, the history, the way she is portrayed and how strong she is are an inspiration.
In the last episode, I was mainly confused about the dialogue between the Chairman and the oldest son and the dialogue after Saeroyi kneeled to the Chairman.The Oldest son said he wouldn't do anything to his brother, only to himself and Saeroyi, so why did the Chairman get all worked up when he asked his son where he was on the phone? And also, I did not get why the Chairman got flabbergasted when Saeroyi told him that he felt like he wasted his trying to get back at the chairman. Isn't that a double whammy for the Chairman? He got Saeroyi to kneel AND Saeroyi felt like he wasted his life challenging him? What got the chairman looking defeated?
Only in this episode did I notice how long they’ve been holding grudges against one another. Of course, they are justified but still. I think the most funniest to me was the fights between Saeroyi and Geun-won, especially when he threw dirt in his face. Then the most unrealistic thing, him confessing his love to Yi-seo while being chased by a very fast car but still they get time to hug and stare into each other’s eyes.
Beautifully written, shot and acted. Watch it ! After Coffee Prince and Goblin , this TV series just raised the bar sooo high and I have a hard time choosing what TV series to watch next. I love Park Seojun and Kim Da Mi. Kudos, Guys!
The value of life is in the people you choose to have around you
The strong prey on the weak, that's what the President believed his whole life, but he never once accounted to one day being the weak. Life is but a series of learned lessons, and if one pays close attention, they might be blessed enough to understand its power and the fact that every weakness contains within itself a strength. For me, the biggest takeaways from this drama are that one should focus on character, not reputation, and count their blessings rather than their misfortunes. In the end, revenge was a proper fuel to get Sae-yo-ri to where he needed to get to, and once he got there, he understood it was time to let it go because revenge only makes wounds fester. The value of life is in the people you choose to have around you. It is too short to waste on people who don't respect, appreciate, and value you.I enjoyed this drama a great deal, with all its subtle difference in, or shades of meanings, expressions, and actions. Most importantly, I appreciated the writer, director, and actors for tackling sensitive matters such as racism, transgender, relationships, and love in all its forms. True love is to love with all of one's being -- provide support and love to that person through anything and everything. Love hard, with everything you've got. I also appreciate this drama for all the heated and passionate discussions and for helping me understand that the meaning of life may mean different things to different people. Still, we are all just trying to live to the best of our abilities.
I was kind of hesitating whether I should watch this but here I am. It starts well and hopes it will end well. I've always liked the acting abilities of Park Seo Jung and wanted to see him in this type of drama as I loved him in Hwarang. But it wasn't what I thought it was. I did not like the ending! storyline: The storyline has its twists but it is continual in one thought. It's is not so much revenge or avenge but for a person to take responsibility for what one has done. I wished everyone even those in corporate or government to take responsibility for what it is intentional or not intentional. What I love about this is the diversity of actors and how it brings that diversity onto the screen. What I hate the most is discrimination of a person's skin tones, gender, age, disabilities, weight, height, the poor and middle class and religion. The awareness is in this drama! BUT it always comes down to romance in these dramas!
