A true example of Chekhov's gun
The series is about a disfunctional family made up of a father who cares little about his 3 sons born to different mothers. The eldest one is born to a Korean mother and wants back what belongs to his mother. The second son wants nothing to do with the family or the inheritence and the youngest son cares only about his share of the inheritence clearly influenced by his mother. Here we are introduced to another guy who might be the alleged 4th son of the tycoon born to his ex-girlfriend who he truly loved. The story now takes a different turn and is about the budding relationship of each of the brothers with their friends except the eldest one who falls for the new guy i.e. the alleged 4th son.
Starting with the positives, the series hits the ground runing wherein it wastes no time in introducing all the characters and their relationships with each other. The story is well paced for a mini-series with enough time spent on each of the main characters. Although the relationships in certain cases develop rather quickly due to lack of time, it does not feel superficial. The actors did a great job at playing their roles including the annoying nagging sister of one of friends.
Lets begin with the negatives. The series starts with showcasing a conflict between the eldest son and his uncle around business inheritence . He even tries to kidnap the eldest son but fails. This happens in the first 5 min of the first episode and then this plot is completely abandoned. The uncle is nowhere to be seen and there is no conversation around the failed kidnapping. In fact the eldest son wants nothing to do with inheriting his father's business instead he wants ownership back of his mother's hot springs business in S. Korea. But in the following episodes the eldest son forgets about this mission. Its like he suffers from short term amnesia. Doesn't remember the kidnapping and now doesn't care about the hot spring business. His only goal now is to be with his love interest.
The father plays a strong character and we feel that he will play a major role in their lives now that all the brothers are together at the same place and each of them having boyfriends but we dont get to see him at all post a few initial episodes.
During one of the moments between the second brother and his love interest, he says his family owns the guy. That exposition comes out of nowhere and we dont get any hint of what that means. I understand this is a mini-series and they cant possibly show everything but I feel they could have removed that specific dialogue and excused themselves from that explanation.
Regarding the 3rd brother, a very limited time is spent in providing any information about him or his love interest. All we know is that he dislikes his eldest brother because he disconnected a ransom call from his kidnappers and might be a hinderance to getting his share of the father's wealth.
In conclusion there were certain plots that required more explanation but waere abondoned without any explanation which leaves you wondering what happened with that plot or character. But if you ignore that, this one is a great watch and I would recommend it.
