As we know it's about a young boy who is up against the no. 1 conglomerate in his country.In the beginning episodes we are shown how he has some values and principles in life , and he is strong enough to achieve what he wants. The start is so promising that you know that the end is gonna be nothing less but epic.
We are shown the relationship that the main character Park Sae Ro Yi ( park seo joon) has with his father , which is beautifully shown and executed by the actors , and they make you believe , and you can invest in their relationship.
( Through out we feel the pain of his father's death and love they had , it is that good, we feel what the character feels how he felt the surge of revenge )
We also see Soo Ah ( kwon nara) as Ro Yi classmate, friend , and his first love, and its so cute( I was rooting for them till the end ) .
We are also introduced to the main protagonist Jang who looks and feels bad, you right away start hating him and we just know it's a great fight waiting for us.
Now the story moves forward 3 years and we still see the same Ro Yi strong , with a plan to take down Jangga co. which excites you more.
7 years of hard work and now he owns a pub at Itaewon his first step towards the end . We are introduced to some new characters like Jo Yi Seo ( also a love interest for park sea ro yi) who is young, strong , cleaver, mean and really smart. And wants to help Ro Yi to take his revenge cause she is madly in love with him. ( I enjoyed watching her in the beginning but towards the end it was more of an irritating experience) .
In future episodes we see the story moving forward and the character building and it is soo good , it's a rollercoaster ride and you're gonna enjoy it. Sae Ro Yi as strong and positive as ever and really inspiring, Soo Ah still cute who is working at jangga co. And struggling between jangga and Ro Yi. It is her character i relate and feel alive. Yi seo seemed nice, smart and psycho but i just couldn't like her. There are other supporting characters who have done a great job and you enjoy their part .
Upto the 13 episode the show was really good and i couldn't just get enough , but then some things went highway , like the main villen getting old and is not that strong anymore ( it somewhere killed the hype for the ending in me) , Kim Dong Hee turning into a confusing bad person and Yi Seo.
The last two episodes weren't satisfactory for me as we saw some major changes which we didn't see coming in Park Sae Ro Yi who had these values, principles and love for people , but now he is just another business man . We see Chairman Jang so week that he kneels befor Ro Yi who don't give a shit and i couldn't help but feel bad for the villen ( which should have been satisfying ) . We see Ro Yi falling for Yi Seo which was sudden and we had not built that in our minds through the journey.
Overall it was a good journey ( was not disappointing ) , the acting was good , story was good , OST were really good , the end wasn't great but it was worth watching and we also had PARK BO GUM with a cameo, which was lovely.
I would suggest everyone to go and watch it.
