Good. Almost great.

Nice watch. The drama started really well but after a while it became a little to preachy. Most characters didn't grow and were one dimensional. This skewed the show to become a little unrealistic and the I could no longer suspend reality and fall into the story. Main error being the classic black and white characters trope. The good people were too good, the bad people to bad and the dumb people too dumb.

This could have been better as 24 episodes a it would have condensed the points the writers were trying to make without the drama becoming annoying as variation of the same issues repeat over and over again. A lot of Cdramas still struggle a lot with this. After lead gets used and backstabbed 2/3 times we get the point you are trying to make. No need to repeat it 10 times. This repetition slows down the pace of the story. Some storyline seemed forced and didn't add to the narrative like the virus thing.
