You'll hate it at some point but you can't stop watching it.

First few episodes are interesting. Becomes a bit frustrating at the last few episodes then voila a disappointing ending.

At first I thought it is a perfectly plotted drama with great casts. Then the plot becomes ridiculous. The plot is only good in the beginning. The ending just ruined everything.

Actually, overall it is a good series but you might wanna think twice due to the last few episodes.

IDK how to feel about it. I'm kinda mad at the writer. Like WTH.

The show has a lot of potential and it could have been better. Last few episodes are a bit illogical. It makes me mad how a good series ended up being dumb which makes previous episodes nonsensical.

What I like:
1. Kim Young Kwang (Jang Dohan) - I watched this basically because of him. I want to hate his character but I just can't. I loved his evil smirk. And I loved how he acted two-faced. His expression can change in just a split second. Dang. His character will make you think 'Is he a good guy or a bad guy?'. His choices will make you think and thorn between justifying the evil things he did over the reasons he had. How it ended just frustrates me. The writer makes him the evil guy who did things for revenge but all things he did seem to be nonsense. The show was there because of his revenge. The Guardians/ the group was formed because of him.. but the finale makes all his efforts gone. Agh. So frustrating.

2. Bomi and Kyungsoo (I love his name. Hi there EXOLs hihi) their story is the only refreshing thing in the show. Their love/ hate relationship is so cute.

3. I love that they didn't forced any love story between the FL and ML like any other KDramas. Though at some point I wished they would have even bit of a fling. Even a little. Haha. At least no unnecessary dramas between them.

4. There are a lot of scenes and plot twists that I liked. It made you think how the hell did they do that. Then they show you how.

5. I loved the ending part where they shows Prosecutor Kim remembering Prosecutor Jang as a friend. IDK but I loved that scene.

What I hate:
1. Sooji's rushed action that messed up a lot of things in the series. And her actions towards the Leader is kinda unnecessary. Although maybe she's just being cautious. IDK.

2. There's a lot of plot holes. The writer may have thought that viewers have no choice but to accept how dumb the show becomes.

3. Siwan's hate towards Sooji. IDK why he hates Sooji that much. Sooji didn't do anything about him at first. He doesn't have the motive. Or maybe he's just really a psychopath.

4. The effin ending. Like yeah, let's just kill someone and call it a day. Though the ending was not that clear and they made it look like an open ending. I don't think I'd watch it if ever there'll be Season 2. I don't want another season of a good drama that will just be ruined in the end. (Though still depends)

I still have a lot to say. I still have a lot of questions unanswered but I will end it here as I am really kind of frustrated in the ending. This might look like a rant rather than a review if I continue it.

You can watch it for the casts. All of themdid great. But don't be fooled by the beginning. The ending will mess it all. Watch it because Kim Young Kwang was great on this. ;)
