Where do I even start? The whole drama from the plot to the cast was amazing. It has slice of life, some aspects of comedy, some romance and loyalty in friendships and families, corruption and so much more. I was so surprised that the screenwriter, Kwon Do-eun, made her debut with this drama. The plot was focused on women empowerment and the women who played the roles were so inspiring to watch in their own right. They didn't even play down the abilities of the women in story but instead elevated their characters with each episode. While there will be some aspects of men in power trying to abuse it, we also see women who do the same. There wasn't a hint of gender disparity, but more of how much manipulation of influence each character had, in setting the fate of their respective companies and relationships.

The story plot was not draggy at all and kept its momentum til the end. It made me sad when I reached the final episode because I got so hooked to how the story was playing out but alas, where there is a beginning, there will be an end. It was refreshing to watch women take on dominant roles which set the course of societies perception of media and towards other people. We see roles of CEOs, Directors and any related leadership roles and how their values dictate what happens next. We have the power corrupted, the repentant and also those who will stick to justice til the end. These types of characters are intertwined with another which causes a lot of conflict which is necessary in seeing whether they will stick to their own values or be willing to change for the betterment of others. There is also mention of how the government will try to assert their dominance in infringing the rights of the internet users and how these companies choose to comply or deny to them. With the story based world wide portal companies, we see how two opposing companies instill their own company motto in running the the web and their justification on how much is shown to the world.

Each cast chosen for the characters were played out beautifully. Some notable mentions are Kwon Hae Hyo who did a great job to in showing what sticking to the side of justice and protecting his employees are like and also Yee Soo Jung who showed us the corrupted side of having influence. Her acting made me her character so much and I commend her for that.

For the romantic aspect, each character had different outlooks and expectations of how relationships should be. Some are hesitant, some want out and some are still learning along the way. While the way they approach their significant others sometimes frustrates me, I am aware that there are people like such in real life too.

The music played throughout the drama complimented the situations and didn't overpower it.

Overall, the drama has a consistent pace with interesting characters. It leaves you wanting more and you could watch this in one sitting if you dare to.
