The best thing I can say about this drama is that it isn’t horrible. It had two enjoyable songs but nothing amazing. Unfortunately, it was just a little too predictable and the twists felt contrived. The actors seemed fine, I think they did well with what they had. In fact, they were probably the best part. There were some good story lines in each episode but the overall was lacking. Would not watch again, but it was fine for what it was.

Spoilers for the rest: There are some definite flaws that don’t really make sense to me. The FL is actually the more interesting and relatable character but the story is more focused on Do Be Man (the ML who is not only selfish and arrogant but difficult to like). Maybe they thought it was interesting to make your ML seem like he was going to backstab his friends all the time, but it just made it harder to relate to him. Also, why did Noh Tae-nam end up being a good guy? As far as the Eng Sub led me to believe, he participated to some extent with the drugging, raping, and beating of a girl and then was not punished for it except to go for his mandatory military service. So no punishment. Then later he ends up in a situation where he is again in trouble and has to either admit to wrongs against his friend or allow himself to get out of punishment again. In this case, his guilt at betraying his true friend eats him up and he confesses — but doesn’t really get in trouble again. Are we supposed to believe that because he helped in some small way in the effort to stop his horrible mother that he is a good character and should not have been punished for rape? He should have gone to jail for his part in that crime and trying to make him look like a changed man simply because he did the right thing once isn’t good enough. Also there were some unbelievably stupid moments. For example, Woo Ki Choon who was the minehero had his leg amputated by an untrained woman and then days later was somehow able to go to his trial without any trouble? No. First off, who made his prosthetic leg that quickly? Next, how did he get through the surgery when a totally untrained person did it without even a doctor or nurse in attendance? How did he not just bleed out on the operating table? I didn’t know they taught leg amputation on DIY videos. And how was he used to having a prosthetic leg and somehow totally out of pain in a few days? That was ridiculous to the point of insanity. Yet, when I asked myself how the video could be true while he had a prosthetic a few days later, I realized that they came to this unrealistic conclusion because even though it was stupid, it was also a glaringly obvious plot device. Oh how I miss stories that actually have good writing.
