Amazing acting and story, but fell short for plot holes.
At the beginning, the drama centers around the leads Yi Hyun, a baseball player who is forced to quit due to knee injury and Sae Bong who comes at rescue for the depressed Yi Hyun back at school. 12 years later, both of them are talented in their professions, SB as a SOU officer and YH as a detective. It was a dream of SB to have her own home. In order to get her dreams come true, she makes a deal with YH - to get married with each other in exchange of living together in the newly built apartment, and getting 40% ownership of the apartment in 10 years. YH agrees and they move in together, living their lives happily and comfortably...but the crisis begins when the women above their unit gets affected with the Mad Person Disease, and the building is put under lock down when the number of infected rises in their neighborhood.Afterwards, story mainly focuses on the behavior of the people living inside the building. Despite an alarming situation, almost everyone acted according to fulfill their selfish desires, without using much logic. Even though the leads did their level best to prevent the the number of infected people to rise, what they received in return was betrayal. The neighbors, especially the dermatologist of 601, and Young ok, the lady who was desperate to become the apartment representative by all means. I barely saved myself from hitting the laptop screen due to their trashy personalities.
As the number of episode was limited to 12, I'm sure the directors had to edit out a lot of scenes. It would have been much better if they made it a 16 episode series. If the details how they developed the drug, distributed them and cured the infected were added, it would have been enough to eliminate the plot holes.
The overall plot and acting was very realistic. Also, I LIVED FOR THE LEADS CHEMISTRY. They were soooo good together..TT

THE BEST COMEDY SHOW
Please watch this show if you are having a hard time. I promise you that you will end up crying up from laughing too much! This show is an absolute gem. Hats off to the screen writter, casts, director for pulling this concept. You will end up getting dragged inside the plot right from the first 5 minutes of the first episodes, and is filled with plot twists, making you fixed to the screen.ps. Na in woo is such a great actor. For some reason, I wanted him to take the role of the king instead of Jung hung.

A show which is a perfect combination of almost all genres...?
A show packed with awesome action scenes, heart wrenching loyalty and betrayal, outstanding bonds between friends and family, heart racing car chase scenes and topped with a pinch of comedy. That's not all, the bromance between the mls is something you definitely cannot miss.The cast did a great job portraying their characters. The plot of Woo Do Hwan and Lee Sang Yi boxing duo and Park sung woon and Kim sae ron as loan sharks with other characters was very promising.... up until the 7th episode.
From 7th episode onwards, the story gets filled with plot holes and gets 2 dimensional. Things gets hasty at 7th and 8th ep, the fl gets involved in a reallife DUI and the production team had to heavily edit her scenes out from this series, so the story had changed quite a lot. Its quite considerable that the writers had to change the story in a very short period of time.
Some of the characters were.... plain stupid. Geon woo's mom being the prime example. Ig it was for the lack of time as it was only a 8 episode series, but a little backstory would have been more fulfilling.
Lastly, the archer girl was interesting and realistic.
