Disappointing
Disappointing. The story is at first ambitious, unconventional, and exciting but it eventually falls flat, spirals out of control, and becomes worse than average. The acting leaves a lot to be desired. The characters are poorly written and not well thought-out. The romantic aspect is completely immature and fails to develop into something interesting. The music is alright but not incredible. The premise had a lot of potential and the production quality was high but the execution failed.At times, the story felt like an excuse to pad out the run time. By the end, I was watching it not because I enjoyed it but so that "I might as well finish it". It drops in quality in every aspect and by the end it is a shell of what it promised to be. I appreciate the boldness of the author to attempt a story such as this but in the end, it was a failure.

Better than you think
I've read some of the other reviews and I think some people don't enjoy this show because it's not relatable to them. The story is intricate and well written, a rare combination. And the acting and production do the writing justice. The story is concerned with themes of empathy (or lackthereof), revenge, and ethics. If these themes do not relate to you, you likely won't enjoy this show. If they do, you're in for a good time.The only complaints I have are: (1) the blatant product placements (it's not too annoying though) and (2) the explanations of the various plots of the characters are sometimes delayed to the detriment of the story. However, do not let this deter you from watching it, I still highly recommend it to anyone interested.
Stories of romance sometimes revel in sentimentality a little too much but this one is an exception.
In the interest of brevity, I'll end my review with this: give it a shot.

Hilarious!
Never have I laughed out loud so much at a K drama. It is one of the funniest TV shows I've ever watched. Everything is masterfully executed. The cast is an ensemble cast from many of my favorite dramas and the acting leaves nothing to be desired. The production and soundtrack are perfect. The story is original and never feels stale. Not to mention, I love the idea of webtoons, which are often created by independent artists, getting adaptations .I felt like Ae Bong while watching this.
Highly recommended needless to say.
