Lol, haven't seen this much blatant PPL in a drama before. Not only one or two scenes out of place or for only one product either.
The cast must've been paid VERY heavily for so many big names to agree to this trash.
But I was still mildly entertained. If you just want something to watch quickly and expect it to be trashy since the start, it can still pass the time.
Don't let the low score scare you away, it definitely deserves more when comparing to usual ratings on this site. It's a decent film and an easy watch, nothing groundbreaking but nothing was bad either.
Very light and fun for the most of it's duration, except for the underlying melancholic tone that comes with every historic work that addresses women's struggles and the rank differences of those times. The last half hour though, very sad.
I was ready to drop the score when the gangsters came in cause it felt like such stupid, out of place and needless drama. Turns out the scene went a lot differently than I thought, and while it was still technically stupid, out of place and needless, the fact that it actually turned out to be a funny scene instead of a dramatic one really saved it. Most hilarious moment in the movie.
On a rewatch and noticed the house they visited in ep 11 is the same one episode of Great Escape was filmed at lol. Lots of them fancy houses and apartments in dramas look familiar sometimes, I guess they're not just random houses but regular shooting locations.
Rewatching the first half for a second time, the second half for the first time - the first half is still one of the funniest and most entertaining dramas I've seen, the second half got a bit draggy but still a good watch.
Old style nasty plot which likely won't sit well with lots of people these days, BUT since big names like LDW and JYM are in on this, I hope there's some kinda twist to this that makes it worth the watch. Dramas like Sky Castle and WOTM became huge hits even though they portrayed deeply flawed and toxic characters.

Good manager (well he had a lil crush) and Confession did not have romance.
Upcoming drama Buy King that he's currently filming is not a romance drama, neither is his upcoming movie Veteran 3 where he will play the villain.
Both his past and upcoming projects have plenty of non-romance you can check out.
