I really did like this drama. The only thing I have a problem with it is that they removed Kim JiSoo from his contract. The change of actors was very dramatic for me. KJS is not as tall as Na In Woo nor was he compatible with Kim So Hyun. I felt more chemistry with KJS with KSH. It's not that Na In Woo didn't play the character badly because he was good in it. NIW just overpowered KSH. I did love the ending not paying attention to who played who. I hated the fact that Lee Ji Hoon was killed off towards the end. I'm not the one who wrote the story. I guess all dramas don't have happy endings for the almost main leads who are support actors! The visuals were good, loved the martial art fighting. I will give the writer kudos and give it a 9 rating.

NOTE: Before you ask, I do know about the bullying of Kim JiSoo. That was many years ago and he apologized for it in writing, he didn't bully anyone since then and he didn't bully anyone in his acting career. I feel that he shouldn't have been removed from this KDrama. There was no proof of sexual harassment or assault, that was unfounded. I am a victim of bullying when I was in the Public School System.

2nd NOTE: Today on Sept 12, 2022, an article was written that Kim Ji Soo has disappeared from the public and that he may be doing military time. That all the accusations against Kim Ji Soo were false and the perpetrator admitted his accusations were made up. All other perpetrators followed the main perpetrator and their statements were false as well. Their maliciousness made Kim Ji Soo's life miserable and with this truth coming to light that he finds peace. I hope that the netizens would stop making further unnecessary comments about Kim Ji Soo. He didn't have to apologize for something he didn't do, but I am pretty sure that his lawyers told him that this would be best to calm the anger. In the Holy Word, it does say to apologize even when it is not your fault. I hope this is a learning lesson for those who want to fabricate about another person but it won't.
