Outstanding in many ways
I just finished it and I will make it short—the story, the fighting scenes, the soundtrack, the visual effects, and especially the acting: Everything is perfect. There must be a season 2. The storyline has so much potential and they didn't waste it. The drama ends where the original webtoon starts. I really really hope there will be a season 2.Park Ji Hoon is remarkable. The perfect casting, he is on point in delivering this character, and so is the rest of the cast. But he really outstanding. The fighting scenes never get boring and you root for him in every single one. I've read that some of the production team members are also involved in D.P. which is also one of my all-time favorites, I especially felt it in the overall vibe. Even tho the topic is serious, brutal, and heavy there is also something comforting about the show (like it was with D.P.). The intro was also wonderful and is a no-skip. I can really recommend the drama, especially if you like revenge storylines. This show has one of the most satisfying revenge storylines I have ever seen. 11/10. Perfect.

I'm currently watching, so my opinion can change, but
so far I'm loving the drama! I have to say I like the enemies-to-lovers trope and I also like stories that are a little out of the ordinary. I am at episode 6 now and I wanted to write a review since it's getting better and better and it didn't even start badly.I have to say, it's hard to imagine a love story between the main leads, not because they have bad chemistry or anything ( I have to say I think the lead actor and actress work very well together) but because they seem to live in two different worlds with especially the male lead seeming not to care a bit about the female lead. But the romance part seems to start in the next few episodes.
I really like the pace of the drama and the fact that it's being unpredictable. The synopsis of MyDramaList and other sides doesn't give anything away about the plot and there are no clips previews at the end of the episode so you have no idea what will happen next.
I think it is definitely worth checking out and I hope the stories will develop well and the ending will be satisfying. But so far it is really a 9 out of 10 for me!

Amazing, exciting until the end
I can only recommend this show. I clicked on it on Netflix, not expecting anything, and it turned out as one of my favorite tv shows ever. The story, the acting, and the overall vibe really got me hooked and I could easily watch it until the end without feeling bored or underwhelmed. It doesn't matter if you watch it in one sit or just an episode per day or week, it really works well either way. Dark comedy is the right genre. It's smart, it's exciting, and it surprisingly made me feel good while watching it because it wasn't too gloomy or sad.SMALL SPOILER!
The protagonist and antagonist were both interesting to watch and you couldn't really decide who you want to root for. I love shows with a good antagonist and main characters that are not too innocent or good, to the point where you get annoyed by them. But that didn't happen at all.

Excellent and weird in the best way
What a surprise. I watched it on Netflix and couldn't get enough. I have a thing for fantasy, monsters, and supernatural dramas but this one exceeded my expectations. Nam Joo Hyuk played such a different character from what I used to see from him but the role fits him perfectly. Jeong Yu-mi also fitted the concept perfectly. I really hope there will be a second season.The story was kinda wild and left you a little hung up at the end but the vibe of the show was really great. I recommend it if you want to watch something different

A wonderful surprise
I coincidentally started to watch this drama on Viki and after a few episodes, I was addicted. Since only the first then episodes were released so I had to wait for every new episode and it was like a highlight for me to watch it. I love the cast, the chemistry, the story and how wonderful it portrays friendship, love and finding your path in life. In the end, the romance between the leads is dragged out a little too much, but overall it's such a wonderful drama and the characters really grow on youWas this review helpful to you?
Why do people dislike this drama so much? :D
I sometimes have a hard time finishing dramas. I know, it was a decent one, that made me feel good when I can easily finish it. This drama was easy, nice, funny, and somewhat weird in the best way. I really enjoyed it. Of course, it is not the best drama out there but it made me feel happy for a while. So I would recommend it.I like the main lead's relationship with her brothers, and I even like the storylines of her brothers. I liked her friend and the second lead was kinda different. It may start with a weird storyline but I also love the chemistry between the main leads. It is not mindblowing or the best you have ever seen, it is just cute. And that is what goes for the whole drama.

Funny, Easy and also Interesting
I honestly have to say, this is probably not the most meaningful, emotional, or shocking drama but I love it with all my heart. It's light-hearted, funny, a little bit of horror but in the best way.The characters work so well with each other, the story has a great pace and I laughed a lot. I even watched it with my boyfriend, who typically doesn't watch K-Dramas and he really liked it. It's great to relieve stress and the actors do an amazing job. I definitely want to recommend it if you like funny, easy, and mysterious dramas with great chemistry and fast-paced plots

Original story and a really different side of Korean Youth Dramas
The vibe was very different but the story was interesting and I started to like the characters very quickly. It shows a very different side of ''careless'' youth and at the same time rough fates of teenagers without being too depressive or dark.Even though the topic is pretty serious I think the show does a great job of keeping the youthful spirit without getting too intense but it also doesn't get boring.
One thing disappointed me a little.
But overall a really nice show and I am really excited that it seems that there will be a season 2. The show definitely deserves it.
SMALL SPOILER!!!
It was a revelation in the last episode that made some of the characters look like hypocrites and I thought it didn't really give much to the story instead it actually made me a little disappointed with some of the characters but it wasn't that big.

For me the best Comedy Romance since "What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim"
I've waited for a Drama just like that for quite a while now...Don't get me wrong, I've watched some of the recent Romance Comedies and I liked some of them but I didn't enjoy them as much as before. I watch KDramas from all kinds of genres so I am quite picky with Romance Dramas since it's not my favorite genre especially if they don't have a happy ending but I am always looking for some good feel-good romantic comedy and so far I've found exactly what I was looking for in this show. I am a little biased since I am a big fan of Ko Kyung Pyo and Park Min-young but I've dropped dramas from them if I didn't like them, so I wouldn't continue watching if I didn't like the drama overall. Since sad endings and law dramas are a big trend this year I am really happy that there is a light Romance Comedy Drama with (at least I hope) a happy ending. The Male lead is a judge so the law theme is somewhat also there :DThe chemistry is great, and the story is somewhat cliche but the characters are all entertaining and likable. I also think that they saved some unnecessary drama since the ML is very direct and even goes to some kind of therapy for his*SPOILER* childhood trauma so there are definitely scenes where you are just happy everybody communicates so well in this drama.
So far, I can really recommend it if you like Park Min-young dramas or the good old-fashioned Romance K-Dramas with a little less cliche.
