This was my first kdrama of Kim Dong Wok and he's acting was perfect. He can connect with everyone in every scene. I like the personality of his character as Anchor Lee, and how he portrayed it. His voice was a plus.
As for Moon Ga Young, she's good. Her chemistry with KDW worked well on screen. Her portrayal of a very honest and straight to the point actress suited her.
I also love the other couple in this drama the newsroom couple and youngest couple was a breath of fresh air.
I gave this an over-all rating of 8 because I felt that the last few episodes were a bit rushed. I feel like the first part was well written their lines were remarkable. Though I appreciate the location where they shoot some of the scenes on the latter part, it doesn't make up for the script. The last scene was close to perfect if only I did not have that rushed feeling on the back of my mind.
To sum it up, its a good drama. The cast was good. This was the first kdrama I watched where I have no idea or background of the acting works of the leads but it came out worth it of my time. It's a must watch.

Let's start with the story. It's not new the revenge plot and falling in love while doing it is not new but I like how it's not cliché. I like how amidst the shift in their emotions their character remains intact. The pacing is good and I like how straightforward the issues in the story was attacked. I loved the dynamics between the brothers. For the most part I just love the script. I never had a good laugh in a romcom historical drama.
For the cast. I don't know much about the leads so I have no expectations and just take whatever they can throw to the viewers which was a good acting in general. My fave character was Tian Qi as Tian Qi and also Auntie Hong.
Conclusion. I'll definitely gonna re-watch it. I love how it covers all forms of love. Love between mother and son, brother to brother and lovers.
