Money rules the world....what people do for money/what people do with money
It is a great drama with a heartbreaking story. It makes you think about the world we live in and how people are barely surviving while the powerful and wealthy are taking advantage of it. The saying is right: "Money rules the world." You don't really know what life people are living behind closed doors.The story is based on real events, and the production team and screenwriter did a fantastic job in their research, even working as a driver for a call girl to tell the story accurately. Well, it is not happening only in Korea but all over the world, but ordinary people have no chance to beat them.
The acting was superb, especially Chang Wook and Bibi. I was so happy to see them together again.
For me, the first half of the drama was perfect, as the second half's storyline was not as good. Also, Dongu became very annoying as he suddenly started to care because his daughter became one of them. They should not have made Gil Ho immortal, as it takes away realism. The fighting scenes were great and very realistic. I loved the Gil Ho knife work. It's definitely a great fast-paced short thriller.

Perfect emotional drama...be prepared as you will cry a lot!!!
I love it so much! It's a beautiful story with a great cast and plot that makes you binge-watch the drama in one go. The first half made me laugh, and the second half made me cry (I have never cried so much). I love their teenage love story, which was beautifully written, and you slowly get to know what happened. The length of the drama is just perfect. Until the end, I didn't know what the ending would be. I was hoping for a miracle ending, but the actual ending was even sadder, knowing that... I will not spoil the end.Finally, a proper emotional drama that I have seen in a while. It's a shame that it is not more popular, and the rating should be much higher.
This drama will stay in my memory for a very long time.

Good Watch, But Didn't Blow Me Away
This drama was actually a nice surprise! The main story was really engaging, even though those violent scenes were kind of rough to get through sometimes.My main issue was the pacing. Even though the show only has eight episodes, it felt super drawn out at times. I kept checking the clock, waiting for the episode to wrap up! The main idea behind the show was solid, but something just felt a bit bland in the way they delivered it, and I never totally got lost in the story.
The absolute highlight of the whole series was definitely the friendship between the central trio. Their bond was fantastic, and it really carried all the emotional weight—I just wish they had explored their relationship and bond more instead of wasting time on unnecessary plot. Plus, Jin So Baek was my favorite character—they were a definite bright spot! So Nee's incredible transformation for the role was absolutely mesmerizing. We also have to praise Seung Jo; the difference between his two characters was amazing, and he played both roles brilliantly. I was also really happy with the satisfying ending, where everyone got what they deserved.
Overall, it's a competent show and a good watch, but honestly, it didn't leave a huge impression on me.

Amazing Story Carried by Soulful Performances
What makes Our Movie an exceptional drama is the masterful performance of Namkoong Min. For me, he is the most talented actor, and he never fails to impress. While the plot is straightforward, it is made profoundly powerful by the compelling performances of the cast. Namkoong Min and Yeo Been are the absolute anchors of this story, and they both deliver truly phenomenal work.Despite its slow and deliberate pace, the drama’s stunning production and cinematography kept me completely captivated, allowing me to watch the entire series in one sitting. I was immediately drawn into their early interactions, watching the gradual, believable development of his feelings for her.
The second half is a true tearjerker. Even with the tragic ending hanging over the story from the beginning, the hope you feel for the characters never fades. What I loved most about this show is the purity of their romance. Free from the usual villains and tired love triangles, the drama allows the audience to fully invest in the main characters' growth and relationship without distraction. It was also a beautiful touch to see the people around Lee Da Eum transform for the better, a testament to the show's focus on character development.

unique story that will drawn you in and won't let you go
I was hooked from the beginning and could not stop watching it. Even though it has 16 episodes, I did not mind as I was not bored for a second.I loved the beginning; it is so fun to watch Gang Cheol and Yeo Ri interact. The best part is how Sung Jae portrayed Imugi, as it is so refreshing and really brings the character to life. He is my favorite character, and I love his acting. I liked seeing how the male and female leads' romance slowly grew. And I like that the romance is not the center of the story.
Also, the relationship between Imugi and the King was great; I love their dynamic. Ji Hoon's acting is amazing; he portrayed the King perfectly.
It has a great balance of horror/thriller/romance, and I like how they became a great team to fight the spirits and corrupted magistrates. The only negative is that I expected much more from the final battle. Also, I don't know why, but the female lead did not suit the drama; I just could not feel it, and her performance was not as great as Imugi's and the King's. Apart from that, it is a great drama with a unique storyline and great performances, and also it has a satisfying ending even it felt it was rushed.

The acting is fenomenal but not fully developed drama.
I was so looking towards the Tyrant as Seon Ho is one of my favorite actors. I think it would be better if they stick to the plan and made a movie as it is too sort for a drama and it did not fully developed the storyline. To be honest if they made a proper long drama it would be amazing as it has interesting storyline and the cast is on fire.The acting is just fenomenal!
It is shame that they did not take a time and properly edited the screens as it could be great movie.
Also I don't really see the point to add English to the drama.
For me it is waisted potential.

What a rollercoaster of emotions!
what a rollercoaster of emotions! I love journey of their love story and how the families got together. To be honest I do not understand why there is so many negative comments.The production,OTS and ascting is great. Soo Hyun is awesome as always.
It is a great drama. I like the storyline and even the episodes are really long I did not get bored. But I have to say towards the end the plot became a little bit enoying as I think they should concentrate more on their relationship than the ongoing revenge and the villain went totaly crazy, I think that was a little bit too much. And they sorted everything in last 5 minutes so we did not enjoy the happiness of our couple.
Overall it is a great drama.

disappointed
Well, the drama is very slow pace and it gets quite boring. It has high rating so I was expecting much more from it but I was disappointed. It only has 10 episodes but it felt like never ending story.The only thing I liked is the acting and OST. Its shame as the story was good if they just executed in better way.

A Great Concept Ruined by Poor Execution
I was so excited for this drama because the premise sounded incredibly interesting, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a major disappointment. Despite the intriguing setup, I found myself incredibly bored while watching it.The main issue was the storytelling; the screenwriting and pacing were not executed well at all. Instead of being hooked, I felt like the story was dragging, to the point where I actually started fast-forwarding through scenes just to get through them.
By episode 6, I decided to drop the drama entirely. I simply couldn't attach myself to the characters or care about their journey. If the writing doesn't make you feel for the people on screen, even the most interesting plot in the world can't save the show.

I didn't get the hype- Reset dissapointed
Add another one to the disappointment pile.I know this drama has sky-high ratings and a sea of glowing reviews. But for me? It's painfully overrated.
The start was promising—I was genuinely invested. The concept hooked me. But the deeper I went, the more frustrated I became. The main leads kept making choices that felt impossibly stupid, and the execution never lived up to the premise. My interest fizzled out, and by the second half, I was just... bored.
I started skipping episodes. Eventually, I jumped straight to the ending. And honestly? I didn't miss a thing.
I just never connected with this drama. Another overhyped one that didn't deliver.

Realistic drama of hardships through the life - not a fairytale
Beautiful story of O Ae Sun and Gwan Sik, who love each other dearly and do everything for their family. The cinematography and acting are amazing.The storytelling is awesome, and I love how they managed to switch between the past and present storylines. It is perfect. It is so hard to watch as their life was/is so hard, and all the hardships they endure. Even with sixteen long episodes, it is easy to watch, and you do not get bored. I was hooked from the beginning and could not stop watching it. To be honest, I did not like IU's character at the beginning at all; she was screaming and hysterically crying all the time. I am glad I stuck with it as it is a great drama, but be prepared as it is not a typical fairytale but a realistic portrayal family's hardships.
I think I need to watch something light and happy now.

waste of time... I was expecting much more
I am really disappointed. I was so looking forward to this drama as Woo Shik is one of my favorite actors. It's so boring. I forced myself to finish it as I had no other option because I watched it on the flight.Also, the story is very realistic, but it seems absurd that he did not even text her about what was happening, and the lack of communication is frustrating. I hoped it would get better after a few more episodes, but no. Ten episodes never felt so long.
The brothers' story was very sad to watch, but that is it. I did not care about the main couple, and the chemistry was missing. To be honest, it was a wasted 10 hours.

Fast paced drama full of action and intrigues.
It's a fast-paced historical drama based on real events. It all happens in 24 hours, so there is a lot of action, plotting, and tactics. It's interesting to see how the events are going to turn out as life beside palace walls is a matter of life or death. I like that the queen is a great tactician and thinks a few steps ahead.I did not mind the sexual scenes as they fit well in the drama. They could make more episodes to fully develop the characters. The acting was great, except for Jong Seon, as she does not fit in the drama. I can't help but feel her expression is just ruining the experience for me. Chang Woo and Soo Hyuk did a great job portraying the king and the crazy prince.
Apart from that, I really enjoyed the drama. It was a great watch, but I don't like that it ended at the best part. And I am not sure if we are getting a season 2.

Overrated and Lacked Any Spark
I went into this drama with high expectations because I remembered all the hype while it was airing and saw its high ratings. But yet again, I am disappointed. This show is incredibly overrated and simply didn't captivate me at all.I found myself pushing through the episodes, constantly hoping that I would finally feel invested in the story, but it never happened. It was just boring. There was no "drive" or hook to keep me interested, and I eventually dropped the drama at episode 5.
If I compare this to my previous watch, To My Beloved Thief, there is no contest. That drama was perfect in every way, yet its rating is lower than Love Scout. I truly don’t understand how a masterpiece can be rated lower than a show this dull. It just goes to show that high ratings don't always mean high quality.
Final Verdict: Don't let the hype fool you. If you're looking for a story that actually respects your time and keeps you "glued to the screen," look elsewhere. This was a tedious experience that I couldn't wait to stop watching.
