Oh ... Come on ... They had their moments - like the moment when they were talking under the cherry tree ... I know ... cliché - but it was a romantic moment, then when he realized that she was her love him from kindergarten (all those cute moments with the blush on their cheeks ... with him taking the cold shower ... Teaching her to protect herself ... etc) ... then with learning to play the piano - it was all about romance ... the scenes at the ball when she came in her dress and he complimented her then the scene with the dance - fight... it was all about romance ... when they stayed up all night and worked together and each one secretly looked at the other ... When she got stabbed ... etc ... and many other cute little moments ...
- as I said ... it seemed like too many such moments to me ... too few to you ... it's ok ... it's just my opinion - because the comment was purely my opinion
- because it seems to me that they wanted this series to have everything: action, suspense, crime, love, friendship... everything... so in my opinion the second half, of the series got worse ... Ruined the first half

- he definitely excels in this area, but somehow it doesn't fit with the title of the series: "the art of negotiation" ....... it doesn't fit with the subject of the film - in a large company with financial problems, a certain man Ju No (or the white snake) is called in for his ability to negotiate and get them out of the shit they're in ... he creates a team to help him have all the data necessary for each negotiation ..... so from here I deduced that the series would be about business, negotiation and not about the mundanity of everyday life. - and these things were presented right in the first episode, so I didn't really have any other way to think about it ... so somehow either the series' script doesn't match the director... or the director isn't the best fit for this type of subject (I repeat ... I didn't say he's not a good director or that it's not a good script - that's another discussion - I just said that maybe it's not the best fit - both script and director - to make a series that keeps you captivated in front of the screen - after all, that's what it's all about)
- and more than the fact that it is sometimes boring, I am more bothered by the fact that it does not show us a more intense / large exchange of negotiation ... that the nickname is not explained to us ... that ... that ... I repeat ... the script is still a problem (and honestly I think I have a bigger problem with the film's script than with the director ... in my opinion everything starts from the script ... and from the start you can see the shortcomings / problems ... so I blame the script more)

- it seems to me that it doesn't actually show us the art of negotiation ... (for example, it seems to me that the Hot Stove League series focused much more on negotiation and we even saw negotiation styles in various crisis situations, and it was even more entertaining, compared to this series which has the title and should focus on THE ART OF NEGOTIATION ... meaning we should see non-stop negotiation and be amazed at how they negotiate in certain situations)
- but after episode 8 it seems to me that they are focusing more on dramatic sentimental situations (somehow to impress sentimentally and from sentimentality situations comes negotiation - )
- and the pace is simply extremely slow for negotiation ... meaning it's a crisis situation but they present it as a story read by a tired man to a small child :)))))) ..... sooooooooooo slooooow
- and it's already past half of the series and we still don't have a single hint of how he got his nickname of the white snake - apart from the fact that he has white hair you wouldn't even realize that he's somehow sneaky... cunning... etc
- In my opinion, if you want to watch series that really entertains you and are in this business field and have a good script - I recommend Hot Stove League and The Auditors ... this series is extremely slow and I'm sorry because I only watch it for Lee Je Hoon

felt the same way ... and I said it after ep 9 ... it started well, promising, but halfway through it seemed to deflate like a balloon ... they focused more on romance in the second half and all the action (or intrigue) built at the beginning was gone ... too bad for the first half which was really entertaining

It just gets better and better with each episode ... It really is becoming more and more entertaining

I'm in love!
- imagine having a nightmare and when you wake up and open your eyes the nightmare is real and right in front of you ... and then the whole scene in Il Do's room was like a dance between them ... it sounds weird ... but all their movements seemed to have some kind of harmony there - I thought it was a very artistic scene (and the eye contact between the two ... very intense)
- and the end of episode 12 with close ups on each of the 3 faces ... superb ... each of the 3 actors have superb facial expressions ...
- I have to admit that after this series I declare myself a fan of Huh Joon Ho ... each of the 3 main actors plays very well ... but he excels ... he actually ones this role

- now...that's what I call good drama
- even the actor who played Dong Ju / Seonghyeon young played well
- and the scene where Il Do hit the car with the 3 of them into the abyss (with his car) - the look between Il Do as he looks at Seonghyeon and the look of the desperate little Seonghyeon as he looks back at Il Do and cries ... and they all fall into the void .................. priceless

- so we have a series about 2 psychopaths who feel like they are the same, but who make each other's life miserable and therefore punish each other. My guess is that the old psychopath became a psychopath because of her, because before he met her I think he was just an extremely dedicated doctor, but she managed to transform him.
- somehow it's clear from the beginning that she can't control herself, that she wants all the attention to be just for herself, and yes she was an extremely talented and dedicated medical student (kind of a prodigy), maybe that's where her vanity and arrogance come from
- but the fact that she starts killing like she's eating candy... seems a bit exaggerated to me, and the fact that Deok Hui accepts and understands it and isn't scared of her behavior seems a bit exaggerated as well. and then he starts to kill like he's eating candy ... so normal ... and all the crimes seem so absurd ...
I mean, he clearly has an admiration for her talent, he probably worked his whole life to get where he is now, and she makes absolutely everything perfect out of her talent because she's a prodigy ... so yes... admiration... maybe a little jealousy... maybe... but it seems to me that more than anything he wants to accept her as she is just for her talent
- it is clear that she has no other feelings other than revenge, irritation and obsession on Deok Hui
- and I really don't understand Yeong Ju's role... he's always by her side, does absolutely everything she says, everyone pushes him out of any discussion - he always has to sit outside, or at another table... etc.
- but it's definitely not a movie about the student and the teacher because we're not shown that deep relationship ... it's more like this is how you are, this is how I am... and that's it
- and in every episode somebody dies - so somehow it seems like we're talking about a serial killer who also operates underground - on the black market
- I have mixed feelings about this series.

- Is it just me or was it much more promising in the beginning, and now it seems to have softened towards the end?
- I think ML and FL have dimples chemistry ... they are so sweet together when they smile

I'm still waiting for them to show us the connection with the nickname of the white snake... it's not just about the hair ... I guess ...
And the intern .... Ohhhhhhh ... Baby ........ Such a baby :))))))))))))) ... But I love that they don't get mad at him ... They actually understand that he is an intern and doesn't know anything ... That is nice for a team

it would be something to be Deokhui's son, and Eunnam to be adopted ... But that would mean that they could still be together ... Ufffff ..... Still don't like Eunnam especially because she has no action until episode 11

uuuuuuuu ... I didn't think about that ... but it would be something

- so it's clear: Dong Ju is Il Do's child - even Deok Hui confirmed this when she said that that picture, that day, she took it/(agreed to it) for him (Il Do)
- ooooooooooo ... but I liked that just when Hui Cheol (Prosecutor) thought to have some self-respect and throw Eun Nam out, that's when Dong Ju realizes that Eun Nam better not get a divorce because they can't be together anymore anyway ... oh well ... they're not brothers, but they're still cousins ................... finally - everything is clear ... she's useless
- and the beginning of the episode with the scene where Yeom Jang Seon breaks Il Do's head ... and with the blood flowing from his head, but he erases that piece of metal that has the title on it .... :))) ... savage .... frustrating ... Il Do is just a pawn

I hope this is the happy ending of this series ... that Dong Ju and Eun Nam are related and they can't be together......... a ......... happiness

so ... if Dong Ju is the kid of Il Do then he has the right to lead the company ... just like Guk Hui said - when Deok Hui (Il Do's wife) was pulling her hair - she left her kids in the US so they wouldn't get in the way of Il Do's way to the throne ... (she said for Il Do's kid Tae Yun ... but ... first comes Il Do)

well, the picture shows us how Chu SeongHyeon (or our beloved DongJu) is sitting in the arms (lap) of Il Do's wife ... and it was given to him an old Daesan Group badge ... because it was from years ago - and that means that he was family ... so ... at this point, I think Dong Ju is Il Do's kid .... this is what I got from this episode ... I may be wrong ...

- still love Seo Myeong Ju - she's a crazy bitch but she own's it
- and then the moment when all the children in the class participated in the cleaning ... it was a beautiful moment - a connection was created

- Eun Nam is a worm ... not even a humanbeing ... I hope she crawls under a rock and stays there ... she has no role in this series - it's episode 9 and she hasn't done anything ... an action - apart from the one in the first episode when she married Hui Cheol (Prosecutor)
- I think Il Do didn't kill DongJu because he heard his son Tae Yun telling DongJu on the hospital bed that he knew Il Do didn't call the ambulance and I think he was somehow ashamed (that his son found out the truth, that he tried to kill DongJu and he doesn't want to bring his into this mess) ... I think maybe he loves his son
- then Il Do taking out on Boss (the one that came fisrt in Dong Ju's room to kill him) ... shows us an extremely frustrated Il Do - somehow Il Do doesn't have Jang Seon's character - to know clearly what he wants - ... Il Do knew that he had to have all the power after his father retired - because that's the norm, the child takes over the business, so somehow it's his right... and how can someone else come before him? .... therefore was brought into the situation by Jang Seon ... but he as a character is not No. 1 but rather No. 2
- the way Kong Jong Ja yelled at Deok Hui - stop pulling that crazy Guk Hui's hair - another stupid character - and she listened ........... so Kong Jong Ja it's not just the family butler
- then we found out that Yeom Jang Seon knows who is Chu SeongHyeon - aka DongJu ... pam pam
- the fact that President Lee CheolYoung said that DongJu is a dangerous guy and stopped Yeom Jang Seon from killing DongJu ..... well ... that's something
- I love the transparency in this series ... Dong Ju knows that both Jang Seon and Il Do wants him dead, they sey it loud and clear, and now also them know that he wants revenge : - " I'll kill you when your life is worth enough to satisfy my revenge. " - isn't that refreshing?
- I still love the looks between Il Do and DongJu (DongJu is invading Il Do's personal space by coming to his room )

it certainly is eye-catching! It caught me off guard.
hope the next episodes will be as good as these first two !

no no no ... there is also the kiss from the hospital - that is not a dead fish lip kiss - and the cake kiss??? ... Those were real kisses.
