Best 20 hours of my life
Never would have thought there could be such a storyline. The clueless acting of the ml was Oscar worthy and I am sure fl won the hearts of many people. Shin hye sun(fl) I had watched her in a lot of other shows but this character was just built for her.The music for the show was spot on, especially the outro song at the end of each episode was so good. Plus all the music or sounds at funny moments made those scenes even better.
All the supporting characters where making this already awesome show even better.
I don't know who the author/writer of the shows but you can definitely tell I am gonna check out his other works until I die. I just want to thank all the people who where responsible for this show , amid all the covid-19 problems you guys kept me happy. Truly best 20 hours of my life
Ps. I am a picky guy , I find fault in everything but no mater how much I tried for some reason I can't think of any. This feeling is certainly wonderful.

A mother can do anything for her child
The setting/plot of the story was really good something new.Intended only for mature audiences.
The FL did a banger on this role.
For me personally ML's acting could have done better,
Reasoning of the negative main role was pretty bad (or is that how bad people are? Do bad stuff without any major reason).
Child actress did a really good job, to be frank instead of being too cute like other drama's her acting felt real.
Overall just watch and understand that most of the time parents don't even let us know of their difficulties to keep us happy.
Lets just hope that we can give some happiness back to them.

Started of too good then become run of the mil rushed story
My proper rating for this show is 7/10. But I like these genres to much and very less shows are made under these themes so will rate it higher than mentioned.First 2 episodes where just too good in terms of writing, acting, comedic elements and especially editing. But later on something starts going wrong mostly because they introduced few characters and killed them off which didn't help any bodies character development. In a short 8 episode series 2 episodes where wasted in deaths of people who didn't move the story anyway.
Later this show converted from dark humor crime series to police drama, its as if the writer and director for these middle episodes where completely different and again in the better half of the final episode we are entertained with same energy first few episodes.
Technical rating 7/10
Biased rating 9/10 (I love these genres combined so)

Trailer is the best part of the show
Tailer made it seem like its some looser became gangster made money cam back to win his family. But in reality it was worse than the above mentioned story.It felt like they were trying to go for slice of life genre with comedic and romance element. Comedy was fine and romance was fine between Young Leads/ Children's . But romance between Parents felt like fish out of water even after 12th episode.
Slice of Life is supposed to be relatable, but none of it was relatable to anyone. Lat 2 episodes were rushed to give good ending to every character in the series but first 10 episode was wasted following terrible plot lines which went nowhere.
Overall comedic element will deliver 50 percent of the time everything else false short.

Disappointment drag through 3/4th and just rushed at the end.
First of all I couldn't understand what they where aiming for from the stories perspective. It felt like the cast where showing of the first take of the movie , that is without the 'oomph' factor. 3/4 of the movie felt like musical and burger documentary, where as the ending felt like they ran out of budget. But the details of smaller interactions, background details where spot on( accurate). There where a lot of characters who didn't fit in the story so I don't know why they where there. All and all don't watch this movie alone you will definitely fall asleep and wont even bother to complete the movie when you wake up.Was this review helpful to you?
Sometimes Not making Dramatic will turn out perfect
This is a slice of life, office drama at large, but the subtle hints of emotions/feelings at small makes the show a Natural beauty.With a slice of life/ reality kind of show rather than slice of life/over the top romantic show there is chance that show may not become popular.
But KBS2 managed to land a star studded cast for this show which turned out to be much relaxing and close to heart than anything else.
All the actors did a perfect job, with Kim-so-hyun performing his character in such a comedic way was so funny..
The innerworkings of a TV Station was portrayed very well with both beautiful and ugly side to it.
The story was satisfyingly good even though non of cast got together (dated) .
Finally hoping there will be a season 2.

A simple review
I rate the movie based on how much I am fulfilled.The whole story was something new other the classic cliché reason for separating of ML and FL.
Music was really funny. Yes FUNNY.
Shin So Yool respect for you just increased a lot.
Acting- no comments.
VFX- didn't feel like much VFX was used at all.
Production- Story didn't demand high production value.
Rewatch value - On any given day, happy or sad, this movie will make you satisfied.

Would have been the best series if it was of 14 episodes.
Pros:1- The cast is just epic, the supporting roles gave me goosebumps.
2- Eun ha(child of ml and fl was so cute).
2- Story was realistic and not over the top romance.
3- No love triangle bullshit.
4- Characters was just perfect for my taste.
5- Good amount of romance with thriller episodes.
Cons:
1- As the title says it just went a bit to long at times.
2- Flashbacks where repeated to often .(Maybe since I binge watched it it felt unnecessary).
3- I lost the thrilling factor at times.
4- As the father of ML was given such importance they should have given some more information or story about ML's dad and mom.

Slice of life struggles of ensemble cast which was very boring.
Felt like a lot of story/plot was abandoned midway or concluded pretty quickly without proper explanations.FML's ex plot line was horrible they made us hate him and then reveled he was actually the best bf and one comment lead to breakup. It made me feel bad for hating the ex, slice of life genre isn't supposed to make us feel bad.
Depressed FML was hard to watch but when she started being joyful after getting bf/ML it felt fake.
Best part of the series was 2nd ML and 2nd FML they had all my attention. Parents story was also fun.
In my opinion story ran 8 more episode than it should have been. Would have been a good series if they concluded all important stories within 10 hours.

The best revenge kdrama I have watched until now
Lets start with the good things1) Everybody would love the story setup as the Revenge company employees are just much better than normal people.(skill wise i.e. nothing much bad happens as the revenge employees are kind of like overpowered)
2)Music, Ost where just hitting the spot, loved the theme music sooo much.
3)Story's inspired by real life cases or crime's.
4)Action was on par with movie quality.
5)Supporting cast( victims and assailants from all the different stories) where 10 /10.
Now the disappointing points
1)The main lead had nothing much acting to do as I felt they where always getting rushed to taking revenge.
2)Kang Ha Na(Esom) this character felt like it was not part of the drama until second half, I feel this drama could have done better without this character.
3)At the end of episodes there was small segment showing connections between all the characters in the story. But the problem was I had forgotten about few of those characters was this a failure of my memory or failure of the drama to make me remember their stories not sure(I watched it when it aired, may not face this problem when binging)
4)Kim Do Gi (Lee Je Hoon) was practically a superman, no military training can make someone that strong. Because of this Taxi Driver became from real life fiction to supernatural fiction vibe. I mean it didn't feel real.
Conclusion
Watch this show it would give you a warm feeling at the end and there is no bullshit about moral value , forgive your enemies etc.. This show is for all those who are sick and tired of watching over the top good characters who forgive everyone.
