Who has watched this and loves it, hates it, or simply wasn't impressed? Who hasn't and plans to watch it?

I'm over 1/2 through with this drama and put it on hold. I got distracted and haven't picked it up again. But there is one thing I have taken away from the episodes I've seen: Ji Sung is a versatile actor. When I remember him in this and then watched Protect The Boss; two very different characters, I was really surprised and impressed by his range.

He is! I watched Royal Family mostly because of him and I was surprised to see him in such a serious role from his comedic one in PTB!

I need to continue watching this...
