I think those who are giving this show a low rating were the people who were expecting a romantic comedy. Please you guys should stick to watching crash landing on you . I admit that I only started to root for the main couple during the last three episodes but the main focus is not on the romance. It's about the life struggles of a guy who lost everything and had to fight his way to the top. The side characters are also amazing and I loved how each female character was empowered and had an important role to play.

The show never gets too dark or dreary that it would make it unwatchable , the colorful streets of Itaewon and the glamorous restaurant scene of Seoul just added enough fun to balance out the sad parts. There was no scene which felt unnecessary and this show had my focus from start to end. Considering how important romance is to me in a drama the fact that I managed to enjoy it without the main focus of the show being on the love story shows how amazing this drama is.

This show had some amazing messages and I feel that I have actually learned a lot of things about life from it. The soundtrack featured more rock songs which made it different from the usual cheesy stuff we are used to hearing in kdramas. Park Seojoon outdid himself here and the actor who played the villain did an amazing job. Please do give it a chance.
