I watched this because of the (pseudo-lame) excuse that Park Yong-ha died and I hadn’t watched his dramas in a long time. This turned out great, Chae Do-woo was the standout villain (his shiver-inducing glares) although Park Yong-ha rivaled Kim Kang-woo’s performance with such a feel-good character. It’s nice to know that Park Yong-ha’s last performance is applause-worthy, I had really overlooked his dramas after (the disappointment known as) Winter Sonata.

gosh im glad i listened to you and watched this drama and return of iljimae…
Like many, i was set on with a prejudice and refused to watch this but because of your quality recaps and of so many times when your opinion concurred with mine, after many times re and rereading your reviews, i was finally persuaded to give in… boy, what have I missed!! anyways, just to say thank you… without you, i would lose much..

@78 Tha

Your idea would be FREAKING AMAZING! Kim Kang Woo and Uhm Tae Woong together would be the ultimate dream team!

I have to agree with rentao…this is the best drama I’ve seen so far.

I was totally like “WTF!” when Eun Soo died, and–I admit–I actually started to hope that she was really alive, hidden somewhere, as part of a Big Twist (that satisfies viewers). Then I started tossing in other characters I would have minded dying less.

But, I came around. I see how her death, her removal, makes sense. I think. It’s right, right? Ahhhh, Eun-Soo….

As great as the actors were: huge, huuuge props to the writer! Thanks for making a drama that was entertaining and made sense, and for treating your viewers like adults. Specially that last part, kdrama-land could take note…

I’m in heavy love with the character Shin. But, Kim Kang-woo, OMG. Moar!

I just finished watching this drama and my only comment is..this is the BEST drama I’ve seen so far. From the plot, directing, actors, charcters..I so love them all!!! I think it’s because I love stories like Story of A Man that is uncommon. Indeed, it’s difficult to include a psychopath in a storyline with a combination of law and stock market. I felt sad at the end because the writer didn’t consider Kim Shin and Eun Soo to end up with each other but without Eun Soo dying, it wouldn’t have a very nice ending anyway.. Thanks dramabeans for your recaps and comments! I learned a lot from them especially the deus ex machina part..hehe..that was interesting.

LOVE THIS SERIES! I am so in love right now. For me I hate surprises, so the reason I got hooked on this series is because I honestly read your recaps and reactions before I started this and I found it very intriguing and so now I am totally hooked. I love Kim Kang Woo…..he is now my favorite villain in K-drama history. I love how he played Chae Do Woo from the tip of his hair to the tip of his toes….he embodied that character. I love the Kim Shin character but it started far too late cause my heart already belonged to the crazy character that was Chae Do Woo. I was also captured by Chae Eun Soo, she truly was the heart of the story, this character was more integral to the story rather than the lead female Kyung Ha. The Kyung Ha character could have been absent and still the story would be still stand on its own but Eun Soo truly held the two lead male character together. I just love this series and I hate that I am done and am clamoring for more, but I am also very satisfied on how it end. Do Woo smiling at Kim Shin in the end, sort of reiterated how far gone he is now, no more Eun Soo to somehow affect him and give him a semblance of conscience. But for Kim Shin it is her memory of her kindness and love for the oppressed that makes him to continue on with his life and live it as well as he could. I miss all the characters already.
