good start, bad progression

The story started out great no doubt, but personally I hate how the story progressed, I don't know how accurate the drama compared to the webtoon, so I can't say the drama is a bad adaptation. for me this story is a complete fail if its supposed to be a deep story. so I will just assume its just a casual romance story with a fortune game plot,

Pros:
videography is pretty good, plus some young handsome and pretty cast will definitely appealing to your eye, as a drama that constantly tries to show intense scene the music is not too loud not overused and fits well with the emotion, really like it.

Cons:
The characters are irritating, the idealist genius mc degrade to a push-over idiot runs everywhere tries to save the day, second leads somehow stayed a spoiled brat either on poverty or wealthy condition, and I hope his awful past is not just a pity fest material. main girl is just your basic cute pretty angelic girl as a flirt material for the boy, but for the second lead girl somehow has some interesting progression since she is the only character that has certain purposes in the story.
The story has a strong start but weak progression. I thought the real deal started early, its really disappointing to see the mc gave up crying after those determination he shows in earlier episodes, I assume the things starts after ep 6 as he already have a proper plan/purposes. and if the story was supposed to repeat the process of making mistakes, give up , gets backup and then tries again they should have showed more on the mc's emotion of regrets, on how the mistakes changed him, and the shifting of mc's greed for money to something more meaningful.

Overall the drama is not bad, I don't think this drama is good enough to watch each week, but maybe worth to be considered in your binge watching list and for rewatch I don't think this drama will have something meaningful enough to see some different sides of the story, and definitely not a drama you can enjoy as you relax laying back on your sofa.

First impression
This series started out great. grudge, anger, insanity, ambition set up and potrayed very well. laugh scene at police station was pretty awesome, and I can see the actor tries to potray greed on eating scene with the gold spoon, imho that didn't went well could be better.

For the story, I really loves it. the spoon could be the light of hope, or a pandora box for the mc. so much possibilities for story progression "every light cast a shadow" story that tries to defines gray area between good and evil, a perfect plot for a dual protagonist. yet no good progression so far, mc is busy flirting with girls and revealing second lead's past instead of fulfilling his ambition. while second leads enjoying carefree life taken for granted protected by mc. female leads ? so far they are just a flirting targets for mc

As for acting I just feel its weird, I know the spoon only swap their fate in the past not talents, personality, and habits. but after the swap I can see that somehow mc is corrupted by anger and revenge that drives him insane. but not for second lead I can hardly feel he is relieved that now he is away from his fears, he says some good things but still feel like a brat that taken everything for granted like no progression at all.

Music is good, not too loud yet pretty intense, 3 meals scene is very well done reminds me of death note "erasing" punishment scene, small petty details that was so important.

For rewatch value, for me personally depends on ep 4-6 forget about rewatch I might even drop the series
