Park Saeyori is a really ideal character, but flat. I found him boring, predictable. I wanted to see him as an immature, for correction personality at the beginning who gradually became corrected and upright, but from the very start he was already this firm and upright. Somehow he seemed too perfect. His facial expression throughout the entire drama seemed to be only one, which was his emotionless face. I found him no fun. Besides, I think he became too greedy and vengeful when he wished for the total overthrow of Jangga. It could just have ended when jang geun won have been imprisoned. And I didn't like what he did to Chairman Jang in the end when the old man did that. I was somehow expecting him to still be "compassionate" as what the drama wanted him to appear, but no, he didn't, and it was as if Chairman Jang was the one who murdered his father. I didn't find his character admirable there. He became the typical heartless businessman, no trait that sets him apart from others anymore.

Oh Soo Ah. She was so beautiful. I hoped the story dug deeper on her character and origins since she was a main character, but no, the writer only gave her one scene where her mother left her in the orphanage without even giving any more info. I really liked her character, she was smart and nice but just got tormented because she owes a lot to jangga. But then, I think there was really no real romance between her and Saeroyi. It was all just like a puppy love, they promised to each other and tried to keep on to their promise, but in reality, they don't seem to do anything for each other. They just go to dates. Keep on telling that they like each other, but there barely was any showing. I was expecting some stupid acts from them that will manifest their real liking for each other, or some sacrificial deeds for each other that would make themselves at risk, but I don't remember anything. They were always safe. And I don't think that gave them any sparks. Their liking for each other will really die if things would just go like that. But I was truly rooting for her. Sadly the writer doesn't seem to want them together.

Jo Yi Seo. This was the b*tch that almost made me discontinue watching the whole drama. I dislike, or should I say remorse, her so much. I hate to say this, but she was ****. I hate her so much. Imagine seeing a character like that and seeing her not so pleasant face, I truly almost gave up watching this drama. A character like this shouldn't even be a main character. Or, if the writer wanted her to be one, the writer should develop her to become someone truly empathetic and kind, where she didn't need to hear Saeyori's words and chooses to be that on her own thoughts. But no. If Saeyori won't tell her, she is still the same f*cking bitch who will mistreat other people with her ruthless words. I especially despised her for mistreating Jang geun soo when he had done nothing to her but kindness and genuine care. She only becomes kind and considerate when Saeyori says. It was like she didn't have her own brain and only responds to Saeyori's words. And that kind of character, man, shouldn't be a main role. Yes, true, she had done so much for Saeyori, but it was all because of obsession. I won't even say it was out of love because she was not even capable of loving, or even just being kind and sensitive, to other people. Especially to Geun Soo. And even in the end, she only became nice to Geun Soo when she already got what she wanted, which was to make Saeyori fall for her. Her character made me despise even her romantic scenes with Saeyori. It didn't become romantic to me at all. I was disgusted. And this Saeyori, I even think he just fell for her because she was so eager to be used to achieve his dream. And I find that selfish and somehow like a "user". His ultimate goal actually became too vengeful already. And this jo yi seo just blindly pursued since it was "Saeyori's dream." When in fact, the person who truly made Yori achieve his dream was Soo-ah, when she gave all the evidences of Jangga's irregularities to the authorities.

The supporting characters. They were all excellent. I truly love them all. I think the supporting characters and Soo Ah were the reasons why I still finished this drama. Chairman Jang, wow. Truly evil and unfair. But hey, because of the holistic characterization given to him in the story, I was actually attached, curious, and sympathetic for him. Jang geun won, excellent. He could be the spoiled evil son while still showing how vulnerable he truly is. This guy was one of the best actors here. Jang geun soo, he was my cutie crush here. His character became surprising. But actually, I hoped he became wiser with his feelings for Yi Seo. She didn't even deserve to see his cutie face. I hoped he was wiser to realize that Yi Seo was not worth pursuing.The transgender and the gangster ex-con, I was really rooting for them since the beginning. Gladly the writer satisfied me here. And Ms. Kang and the detective!! So adorable. Lee hojin, he had a really great revenge. I Loved his scene with geun won in the end.
