It DOESN'T DESERVE low ratings!
The drama's ratings went drastically down during the last few episodes of the show, and I thought what happened in the ending, but honestly nothing big happened. So I don't really see where all the 1.0 or 2.0 is coming from, like hey, if this is 1.0 or 2.0, you probably hardly watch any Korean drama. Like seriously! This is already considered quite a good piece!
I guess people were mainly expressing their disappointment on how the series became a romance-based story and also the main couple's love story but I really think it is pretty okay and I don't think it deserves a strong hate. The story became less focused on startup? Maybe a little, but not that much, maybe people's expectation are abit too high. If you are looking for more tension kind of story, then you may go for Itaewon Class instead, that show got a good main story but weaker on the lovelines. I guess drama just have their flaws.
Talking about second male lead syndrome, I like Han Ji Pyeong more, but I think the main couple suits each other. Although people feel bad for Ji Pyeong as he is the one who started the love story but male lead took over after 15 years. Well, I would say honestly Ji Pyeong wasn't really sincere with the letters at that time (if he really likes the girl so much she would have gone to look for her throughout the 15 years). He lost his chance to chase after the girl so he didn't get it, and it is pretty obvious from the first few episodes already. Well, if we were to say, isn't Reply 1988's second male lead story even more heartbreaking? Just saying.
The "theme" of the drama are quite new and refreshing (although it doesn't really interest me by reading the synopsis), but after watching I really think it is a good piece and all should give it a try (but without having too high expectation). Although the story is kinda predictable but I think it is not boring, hence I would considered not-bad written! Especially I really enjoyed the story between Han Ji Pyeong and FL's grandmother, pretty touching and made me teared up for quite a couple of scenes.
If I were to criticize something about this show, it would probably be the completeness of the ending. It could have been better if they have a more detailed on how they win and become successful, instead of just showing a few pictures etc. As it was being built up the tension between the Morning group and Cheong Myeong company at the last bidding, but it wasn't really explained and just suddenly ended.
Just wanted to share my thoughts, I just feel so bad for the drama looking at all the bad reviews swarming at the front page. Uhhhh, come on guys, it's really not that bad, so much worse ones out there, you guys should watch more dramas and you will know how good this was.
