I am really torn about this one. It begins as the most GOOFY K-drama I have ever seen, totally over the top with modern vibe and music and awful, cheap wigs. You learn to appreciate it all. Some moments are so ridiculous and funny, that you will laugh out loud. But THEN.... the mood of the drama shifts and it becomes something totally different, very serious and political and tragic. I would have so muched wished for the good vibe to stay or return at least in the end. Although I did not appreciate the seriousness and tragedy of the last episodes, I still have to say it is a very good drama, that will make you laugh and maybe cry. The main character Gil Dong changes exactly at the same rate as the mood shifts, from a funny dochebag he becomes this street-hero that fights for his dreams, and it is a transition that was very radical and yet belivable. The main female role has a bit too much "I am dumb" going on for my liking, but she was portrayed very well and remains loveable... Aaaiiishh... still cannot get over the ending, though... If you want something funny and uplifting, watch the first 10-15 episodes and then leave it at that, be warned.
