So frustrating
Why was this storyline so frustrating and unsatisfying? I was rooting for those two the whole time, but they had it so hard the whole time. They could never catch a break for more than 2 seconds before another crisis appeared. And they both had to have a crappy ending? If the point was to let us know that if we find drugs, even if our family is dying, we must hand them over to the police, I feel like that could have been a video on the police social media. So much stress with hardly any payoff.Was this review helpful to you?

Such a frustrating watch!
Such a frustrating watch! It really didn't need need 16 episodes. It started out so promising with the single helper with a thriving business. I feel like literally any other direction would have been better than the romance of Sang-eun and the judge. I tried so hard to like that guy but he was sooo hard to like. Their conversations were so flat and drawn out.Hae-jin was a much better match in so many ways. They had easy chemistry, he was emotionally open and he was devoted to her. He was even a great boss. It would have been so dope if she has chosen him and they'd been a power couple who does what they want despite the conglomerate constraints - or whatever.
With the judge I felt like she was carrying that whole relationship on her back. She had to teach him how to function as a partner and even at work. I was so confused when she started talking about how the judge was too good for her. Like gal, what do you mean? I also really disliked how his character was supposed to be stoic but he kept making all these weird impulse decisions. Like saying I want to see you right now - at late hours of the night. Chugging alcohol that he can't handle etc. How he'd revert to being a mean boss when things weren't going well with Sang-eun. Then she even proposed! She was really doing too much.
Yoo Madam was my favorite, in my opinion, the best written character. She was so complex. And the actress did an amazing job of bringing out the character. I kept wondering, is she the mom or not? I was so delighted when she was.
I also liked all his workmates with their colorful characters. As well as his superior's wife. They were all so fun. It balanced out the fact that he was grumpy at work and created a difficult working environment. His ex-wife was cool too.
I was also excited to see the LGBTQ representation! It would have been nice to see him liking people and dating them, and just more about his life. I loved the bestie dynamic with him and Sang-eun. I did like the fact that he stayed to be a top star and didn't go to Canada.

Loooove it!
I love a good revenge drama.Han Yi Joo and Seo Do Guk were my favorite. Loved the partnership and their loyalty and support to each other. Seo Do Guk's mom, grandma and cousin and Han Yi Joo's birth mom were also awesome. I love badass women. The story progression was also amazing. Every actor did an amazing job, even the villains made me hate them. I'm going to rewatch it so many times.
