Underrated masterpiece !!!
I just finished this and let me tell you, what a masterpiece !! Seo hyun jin is my far one of the best actresses out there !! From start to finish this drama has kept me on the edge of my seat , it wasnt predictable , kept me very intrigued all the time . lets talk about that first episode, what a range of emotions i just love how our fl is such a grey charachter cold and ruthless yes but in a matter of fact way, she isnt unnecessarily mean but not kind either , she will do anything to reach her goals . later on we came to discover why she had to become a tough cookie and her tragic past . once again s koreas very corrupted system is showcased and how utterly sexist it is still. Some moments are simply infuriating however it isnt a depressing hopeless drama since our fl is basically a genius badass woman that knows who she is dealing with and has all the dirt on the big bosses to keep herself safe . i have read a lot of criticism about gong chan , he is not a bad actor , in fact i did enjoy his appearences in the earlier episodes however at the later,heavier episodes he just wasnt able to sustain the good performance especially compared to a huge veteran like seo jin hence why he felt quite underwheling at the end same with the romance which opposite to most people here i think they had good chemistry and their relationship was adorable which why it worked in the beginning for me but the tone of the later episodes just didnt need heavy romance in it . i have to mention the villains as well what a great acting performance by vereran actor heo joon ho , he perfected the piece of poop actor role , such a charismatic character i have to admit that his eye wrinkles distracted me a bit but his acting made me forget about this. Overall i give this drama an 8.9 i put it on hold for so long afraid that it would not meet my expectations but it surpassed it. Glad i finally did come around to watch this masterpiece !!
