The highlight of this drama is definitely the back-n-forth between Kim Sung Ryong & Seo Yool, played by Nam Goong Min & Lee Jun Ho, respectively. They put their all into their parts and it’s hilarious to watch both of their characters start off as unlikable goons and slowly, almost accidentally, just to spite the real bad guys become the heroes their company needs. Theirs is a real hero’s journey.

Another thing I loved was Dong Ha in one of his very few good guy roles. He plays psychopaths so well that he rarely gets to play a positive role which is a real shame because he truly shines here as the spoiled brat who becomes a good, decent man and a loving son. So lovely.

I wish the series was a bit shorter - 20 eps were too long, IMO, so the middle part dragged a bit and the good guys suffered almost too many setbacks - but that’s my only complaint. There’s no romance in this, it’s all about friendship, how to be a decent person and how to stand up for what’s right. And it’s also quite hilarious. Nam Goong Min is truly in his element here.
