The step-sister relationship between Eun-a and Mi-ran is really heartwarming. The scene when Mi-ran hugged Eun-a when she told her that she's their mom's biological daughter....
The drama is quite enjoyable to watch. 7.6 is underrated. Should have at least 8.0 or above.The pace is a bit…
The characters who are dead or eventually dead in this drama:
- Park Jun Beom (the real one, who died in Syria) - Lee Su Ho (the fake Park Jun Beom) - Do Eun Hyuk (it was implied that in the end, he committed suicide in prison) - Chairman Kim Sun Ae - Kim Yun Ji (in the first episode) - Cha Woo Hee (Woo Seok's sister) - Yoon Seung Jae (who died on the yacht) - Choi Young Ho (the doctor) - Seol Ah's dad (the painter) - Seol Ah's mom
This drama is really gripping from the start. It was an enjoyable watch until episode 9, but I think episode 10 ruins it.
I am really disappointed with Heeju's treatment of Woogy and Jinman, even after knowing that the detective is her father.
A lot of things didn't make sense:
- How could Heeju sacrifice his father so she can get away with the real gold? - How could Heeju abandon Woogy just like that after he saved her? - Why couldn't Chairman Ahn chase them after finding out that the gold bars were fake? It was only a gap of less than 5 minutes. - How could Heeju manage to smuggle all the gold bars into France? - How could Heeju manage to buy such nice property without the French authority suspecting anything?
It's a very good drama overall, but I think the end can be much better.
It's also very heartwarming to see Jinman's character development, how he worked with Woogy to save Heeju. Very disappointed to see how Jinman ends.
Is the little Som-yi in episode 10 portrayed by the same little actress who portrayed little Seul-gi in the first episode of Friendly Rivalry? The little girl who insisted on wearing a dress when going to the beach and got left out by the teachers?
Is the actress in the preview of episode 5 the same actress who portrays Dayeong, Taeju's wife, in Perfect Crown? I love the actress (can't even remember her name lol).
I felt the ending was a bit rushed. The downfall of Lord Inpyeong and PM Jeongwoo seems to be too easy. Also, no details on what happened to the PM afterwards. The King succession process from the boy to the uncle was also not shown in depth. And the marriage contract scandal seems to be forgotten.
Other than that, it's a great drama with a great cast.

The pace is a bit irregular; sometimes it can be very fast-paced in certain segments of the story, but it can be slow in others.
Park Min Young is especially enjoyable to watch with her spectacular acting throughout the series.
There are plot twists which changed our predictions on who the killer is, but by episode 10, it became more predictable who the real killer is.
This is also one of the dramas with the highest casualties (of characters being dead) - see below spoilers.
It's quite good, not as bad as the reviews and comments here.
And I feel bad for Kim Bum; he has very little screentime, so we don't feel that he's the 2ML.
Other than that, quite OK. I felt a bit bored during episodes 9-11, though.

This drama is really underrated. No way this is a 7.6. Should be an 8.4 or higher.
Other than that, it's a great drama with a great cast.
