Don't Waste Your Time

The portrayal of this show leaves much to be desired. Despite the presence of talented actors and actresses, the plot suffers from poor writing that becomes increasingly disappointing as the series progresses. The tone of the show leans more towards parody and comedy rather than a serious narrative, making it difficult to take seriously. The plot twists feel overly contrived and unrealistic, almost as if the writer lost interest and opted for lazy storytelling. For instance, the revelation of Matthew's identity as K, with the ability to seamlessly adopt different personas like Kang Ki Tak or Min Do Hyuk, comes across as absurd, especially given the notable physical differences, such as their dental structure. While acknowledging the character underwent plastic surgery, the sudden change in teeth seems implausible.

Initially, the series attempted to engage with an overly dramatic tone, which I was willing to give a chance. However, after several episodes, it becomes evident that the storyline lacks direction and fails to develop meaningfully. The evident squandering of a high budget on this production feels regrettable.

I cannot, in good conscience, recommend investing time in this show. If I had the option, I would rate it a 0.
