The first few episodes were good. Then, it got very dull, repetitive and predictable. Slow, boring and so stuffed with filler. It would have been better as a 10, maybe 12 episode show.
This is basically a modern retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo, with a few twists.
Also, Soo Ah deserved so much better.
If you want/like neuroatypical characters It's Okay Not to be Okay is a much better choice. If you like evil villains who can hold a grudge, Crash Landing on You is awesome. If you enjoy good romance CLoY, While you Were Sleeping and period drama Love in the Moonlight/Moonlight Drawn by Clouds are infinitely superior and all have great chemistry between the leads. If you love Park Seo Jun, I'd recommend What's Wrong with Secretary Kim a cute romantic comedy.

@abtr I liked Itaewon class much much more than It's okay not to be okay, very different tone, target, etc. I liked also CLoY and While You Were Sleeping so I will check Love in the moonlight and What's wrong.
I’ve seen like 10 kdramas at most.. and I’m quite satisfied with this one. For me, as for software engineer, it was impressive to see many tech stuff which was so true. Every technical term, every stuff that happened on computer screen was not bullshit, it was the way it is in real life. Although not sure why to use windows instead of Linux when you’re developing with python :) but else than that it’s perfect. Regarding business side everything I’ve heard from investor guy sounded like for real, they truelly done their homework and consulted regarding many stuff especially the way startup accelerator works :) Using Lidar technology in self driving car was just my personal wow part :) it’s quite new tech and it’s in the script of 2020 tv series - that’s a level up. Else than that ending was crap. Love triangle was good I believe, I’ve been in one, that represents almost my own experience. Not too much romance, there are very dramatic places which doesn’t feel like soap opera, it does look dramatic for real :) that’s probably the only Korean tv series which were so close to real life than other Korean tv series I’ve seen previously. I really wish to see season 2 :)

@holmsius they used mint in the demo day:')
This series is really cool and has a great and involving history, episode 4 and you already care and root for the characters as well as hating the villains, makes me sad that korean dramas usually don't have more than one season, cause I can see myself going back to this for many seasons.

@gabsmoth-deleted-1596382126 I think 16 chapters are perfect for most of the dramas. More will be prone to error or filling or stupidiness
One of the most amazing stories Great cast and teaches good moral values 10/10 for character development just don’t think of this as a sweet romantic story it totally has a great plot and storyline and would love to see this new actor Kim da min
The age gap between the main characters was not a good idea but it just depends on the taste of the viewer it’s just not my thing
Romance was totally good if don’t mind that , there are not much of romantic scene to start withloading replies
@shubham_jha10 I think you are going to like Our beloved summer. Though I still prefer Itaewon Class.
