I started this drama without great expectation from the plot as I am not the type of person who enjoys revenge stories. I started watching this only because of Park Seo Joon. The story started off great. I respected Sae Ro Yi's character though he didn't have much development. I know the whole story cuz I read up the summary. I detested the main female lead's character. There is a thin line between being badass and being a hypocrite and in my opinion, Jo Yiseo was leaning towards the latter side. An instance is when she tore up the DanBam poster that Sae Ro Yi gave her. It didn't have a particular reason and to me felt just like a forced action to make her seem badass and cool. Such instances were there all over the story. I didn't like the second female lead either. She seemed too self centered and said she would date Sae Ro Yi only after he became rich. Jo Yiseo also seemed too immature and whiny to have a strong bond with Sae Ro Yi. He was mature though slightly naive. So if the romance was removed I would have liked this a whole lot better. I also felt that one second Yiseo tears up Sae Ro Yi's poster and falls in love with him the next second. The romance was confusing and messy which overshadowed the revenge plot. The OSTs acting and everything else was pretty good in my opinion.
