Actual 2ML syndrome
Overall I enjoyed this show. It was quite fun and didn't ask too much of me. What I did find refreshing was that I couldn't tell who the 1M & 2M leads were going to be until the beginning of the third episode. Normally I identify 2MLs and dislike them straight away. But I really liked the 2ML and would've been happy with that result too.
Generally I like Park Min Young. I liked her in this too.
I enjoyed how the cadre of good guys were all working together against outsiders. The love triangle was fun and not overly dramatic. The villains were villainous.
My main metric for any drama is whether or not it's fun to watch - even the unhappy parts. And this was mostly fun if a little slow at times.
Then of course the third act break-up / noble idiocy trope. My least favorite of all the bad K-Drama tropes. I was already checking out when it started but it played out with a tenderness that was actually very bearable.
Also... Korea definitely needs to come and get its Chaebols. They're drunk and getting out of hand.
