they gave my emotions a roller coaster ride

One thing that I would like to compliment in this show is the plot. It was neatly written from start to finish that the story did not go astray and gave us exactly just what we needed from start to finish. The writer did not waste time delving with so much side stories, nor giving everyone background stories, but went straight to the point with the main character and his mission to take down the baddies in this drama. Although I must say, there are plenty of court scenes than necessary, the story also had enough plot twists that it kept me seated on my chair and toes, making the audience eager to find out more. It was so intense I went and finish the whole show in just two days!!

Next thing I would like to comment on is the acting, and Yoo Seung Ho was just the perfect guy for the job! His emotions were delivered well, his crying scenes also made me cry. Park Min Young also did well as the Noona, and Nam Goong Min as the evil guy. He is just so scary when he's mad, that even the audience could feel his anger. I just think no one could ever top this line up of actors for the show. Everyone was perfect for their roles! <3

The OSTs were also nice, I liked them when listening to them separately from the show, but during the show itself I didnt think it was too memorable, since the drama was already intense, adding a few sad songs here and there didn't really stick out much.

9/10 overall, because I loved the show! The amount of romance, comedy, drama and seriousness for this show was just the right balance. I liked how everything was wrapped and resolved neatly at the end. Everything was almost perfect however, I think the writers could have given us a better ending than this. Our lead guy struggled and went through a lot of things for five years, they should have given him a happier ending, I also think the audience deserves a better closure after watching 20 episodes and playing with our emotions like that.
