Give it a try
If you're hesitant to watch it, give it a try of 5 episodes then decide, because it's an amazing Drama and you'll regret not watching it before. If you feel the craziness of the characters well you'll laugh your heart out. I feel so satisfied after watching this for an unknown reason. The bromance, romance, comedy, tactics all are pretty good. It's worth your time with many morals in a simple method. Namgoong min is such a talented and versatile actor. My first intro to him was Doctor prisoner in a sophisticated role and after it Villian role in Remember & in this one being Crazy TQ Chief just blew my mind away. Junho did a great job of being a cute villian with screaming wherever and whenever, I've seen him many times but I've come to to acknowledge that his acting in this role is my favorite one out of all.Was this review helpful to you?

Fun snack show!! but don't use your brain too much or it'll frustrate you
I enjoy this show as I binge watched it. If I was watching it weekly then surely rated this lower than what I have. But what I can say clearly is that I had a fun time while watching w/o using my brains.... they made sure to pick up my adrenaline & kept me on my toes. Cuz in many shows I don't even get excited or feel anything throughout the whole show.First off all.... the story..... it was good, like the concept of it was interesting but the point is how they should've executed this. Rather than keeping the revenge of parents through simulation all to the last episode, they could've done something else with the whole mafia game concept.
Like that mafia game concept is so brilliant, I love it, but other than that some things seem weird & out of place. Like how the ghost appeared in the vent & many etc...etc.. plot holes.
I'm dissapointed that they didn't use this interesting concept for a full fledged show of either 10 or 12 episodes of 1 hour & gave characters more depth to them & left less of those plot holes.
The characters where not so well written but this show had that factor due to its packed & new type of storyline that intruiged me.
Acting was nice... nothing too grand but good. But that scene in pool where FL pulls ML out of pool after after he was presumed to be dead was probably the best chemistry scene they had throughout the show.
The BGM was not so much there but at the crazy scenes, it did help with the excitement or shock of the scene.This has that fever dream like story aspect to it lol.
Anything,everything all at once
Survival game....Ghost....Sci-fi....Grotesque thriller....teen....revenge
And at last.... I don't think this show has much rewatching value as the story's end gets weird for me & out of place & ruins the vibe I associated with this show in it's earlier episodes.
Well that's all for my personal opinion. Gamsahamnida..nnn..yo ~

Good show, definitely worth watching!!!
The Story is kinda similar and also different from other shows I've watched in this genre. One of my favorite things about this drama are the Osts ... they are so beautiful yet heartbreaking, regardless of them being less used in the show (as much as I wanted), I just can't remove them from my playlist. Acting by Jang ki young was good as I felt bad for him regardless of him being a assasin, he did well as an antagonist.Chemistry of both actors, I think was pretty decent too. One thing I would complain about is the ML & FL onscreen time is less to what I would've liked. Being assasin ML had a rough life and I wanted him to have little bit of more happiness and affection.Was this review helpful to you?
