You may feel, like I did, that the show is out, and you're going to watch it because you can't wait. But if you do that, when it ends on episode 8 and episodes 9 - 16 won't air for three more months, you may want to scream in shocked impatience, like I did. So just know that.
A rare, rare show that lives up to expectations. The bad guys are very bad, and the good guys are, uh, also bad.
considering i fell asleep each time trying to watch this, and have little to no motivation to continue watching,…
With you on this. I'm 2/3 of the way through, and it's taken me days to get that far because I keep pausing to do other things. Song Joong Ki is almost always worth watching, and you have to admire that he looks like he's 15 in this drama which comes in pretty handy for the plot, but after 11 long episodes, I'm wondering if I have what it takes to go all the way to the end.
I think it's underwhelming and disappointing, and I doubt it'll get better.
Drama is extraordinary, in all possible ways. Beautifully made. The fight sequences are terrific.
(In RL, I question whether Shi Eun would be targeted by bullies, who typically prey on people they perceive to be weak or compromised in some way that keeps them from fighting back. An attempt might be made, but Shi Eun is much too fierce to be desirable as a target, and bullies are skilled at picking that up right away.)
Oh, shoot. It's not that it wasn't completely predictable that there was going to be a 2nd part. It's that I was really hoping that it was going to be 8 very tight, intense episodes. Now I have to decide whether to wait until all 16 episodes are in the can, or deal with a potential 1st part cliffhanger. Nuts.
And if he WAS suing only because of the money? So fucking what? The CEO and her agency cheated him of his earning for many years, and then tries to make him look small for wanting to get the money he's owed?
She is literally the worst.
When this is over, I hope she is put completely out of business and is so bankrupt and humiliated, the only thing she has left is a toothbrush and her underpants.
A bit boring and predictable, even as a light, fluffy watch. The boys are pretty, though. I think telling the stories sequentially instead of in the more usual integrated way wasn't a good idea, either.
What show has going for it is the chemistry between the main leads which is somewhat wasted, and an overall mood. If you watch, this would be why.
As a thriller, however, it wasn't very thrilling. The mystery part worked fairly well for me, but it's because I never really figured out what the heck was going on. The bad guys are obvious from the beginning, and they're bad because of financial shenanigans and a greediness that leads them to do bad things with money, but someone else will have to explain what those shenanigans exactly were.
This should have been a tightly plotted drama that fully exploited the chemistry between the leads, but it wasn't. Show is too long, too slow, and there are too many plot holes.
Madame CEO, if you and your agency owe this artist money, pay it. Now. Why you still owe him money is between you and the police, but pay your damn artists. If you don't owe your artists money, then stand your ground by showing your accounting (which is, of course, beyond reproach, yes?)
Secondly, dude, if you're going to liquidate property you own to pay the money you owe, NO ONE CARES. No one feels sorry for you that you have to sell stuff you bought with money you cheated your artists out of. Oh, poor you.

It's fabulous.

The ending left me feeling empty and sad.
