So good in the beginning but many flaws that should've been fixed
I really liked this drama and how the pacing was fast which kept me on the edge of the seat the whole time. I really want to give 9/10 but the amount of flaws and how the story had to be re-written lowers the rating a bit unfortunately.The biggest flaws I wished they changed:
- how is it that they decided to attack Myeong gil & his team but decide to sit back & relax. They totally let their guards down, how could they not have thought their would be retaliation and I just felt so sorry for the grandpa's 2 friends that were helping him carry out the mission. It's so dumb to me how Dooyoung (leather jacket guy) has all his info at the hideout where Myeonggil was able to retrieve which led to his death. Also how is it that the grandpa & his 2 friends didn't make the effort to change their names/identity knowing that MG knows them. You'd think these guys would be smarter knowing who they're dealing with
- the grandpa's 2 friends died too soon. they weren't able to really show how trained & experienced they claimed to be. we could've gotten even more fight scenes & development from those 2 characters that I've come to like, just unfortunate and unrealistic how they let their guards down like that (I'm used to watching action but seeing the grandpa & his 2 friends death was just so horrible for me b/c their characters were made likeable)
- tell me how some of MG's guys didn't die after being sliced in the throat? Also feel like the tank dude should've been taken out around the same time. On top of that Woo jin's attack & the amount of blood he lost just doesn't make any sense to how he survived
- b/c the story got re-written, I just didn't like the last 2 eps with how everything changed & they had to rely on the chaebol guy. the fact that the money would be going to him when gunwoo & woojin should've taken the money to continue the grandpa's good deed makes more sense. I get that they weren't here for the money but its not wise & unrealistic with what happened at the end
- I wished we would've been able to explore how the bad guys were punished. I think the good guys just suffered so much in comparison to how the ending was more open-ended, almost seems lackluster and too many loose ends
- I think 12 episodes would've been ideal to further explore the grandpas, his 2 friends, and even the villains backgrounds. I honestly think they should've done something different with the chaebol dude bc I honestly didn't care for his story & even at the end his character didn't show appreciation for the help he received & yet he took all the money (no redeeming qualities to him)
What I liked:
- everyone's acting was amazing, loved that the plot is unique and the characters as some say the plot is mid
- woo do hwan is obviously good and he was what kept me watching
- the grandpa's 2 friends/helpers were very likeable for me, just sad what their ending was
- the villains did a good job portraying their characters
- I liked the fight scenes and the car chases scenes

Woo Do Hwan and Lee Sang Yi Unexpected Chemistry
Woo Do Hwan and Lee Sang Yi deliver a captivating performance filled with crime and revenge. The overall plot was lacking but still remarkable. I watched all episodes in one sitting because of the intense action scenes that kept me at the edge of my seat. It's unfortunate that the plot kind of went in a different way toward the end which caused the quality of the plot to lessen but I still think the plot was decent. The acting showed by the actors was perfect and astonishing, especially by the the two main characters played by Do Hwan and Sang Yi. With their bromance, the chemistry of the two actors could be felt through the screen and makes the watcher root for them throughout the show. Woo Do Hwan, known as a versatile actor, effortlessly portrays Geon Woo who is a totally different character then past characters he played as. Lee Sang Yi also delivers an impressive performance as Woo Jin. His on-screen chemistry with Woo Do-Hwan is palpable, creating a bromance filled friendship that keeps viewers invested in their journey. It can be felt that both actors prepared a lot for this series and it was not in vain. The music/Ost was good but not really memorable. Rewatch value can vary between different watchers scene this is a little gruesome and some might not want to watch it again.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do Hwan was sooo cute in this he gives off teddy bear energy??

Woo do Hwan is back!!!
Unexpectedly it was really intresting storyline. And acting has been outstanding. Its my first ever review for any drama.All characters no matter how smal may have been the part in the series has been well written and potraid well.
It had its light moments. Sang yi was a surprise to watch.
Park sung woong has always been one of my favourite villians.
Action sequences were really well executed however at times its monotonous.
I would have preferred if they would not have killed few characters.
Overall a good watch if someone is looking for non romance action thriller.

Disappointed...again!!!
So this is about the third drama that I've watched that have left me thinking what the heck is going on here!!!In the beginning you get the sense that the son(not going to name names) was trying to help out his mom pay some bills so he's going to do some boxing to win money to help her but then she takes out a loan and not read the fine print and get herself into a whole lot of trouble with some crooked loan people. Common sense should tell you if it sounds too good to be true, it usually isn't. This drama brought out all the stupidity of people.
The first few episodes held my interest because I wanted those who were doing those illegal loans to pay for it dearly.
The one thing that didn't disappoint me was the fighting scenes! Oh, man! I'm not heavily into boxing but kind of swayed me. It was weird barely seeing any martial arts in a Asian drama though.
Episodes 6-8 was where I became utterly disappointed. I thought the whole gang was going to take down the main villain and get some well deserved justice but half the cast literally gets obliterated by two men. The main female is nowhere to be seen in the last few episodes even though she got on my ever lasting nerves in the beginning. I loved the fact that she was able to hold her own against countless of guys. That one guy's pride was so hurt after he got beat by a girl.
The last two episodes was underwhelming. The second main ML gets severely injured but looks buff and unharmed in the last episode. There's a new girl in the picture trying to replace the other girl. She shows she's good in archery but missed a lot of shots...Really?! She also said she can fight but she never do.
The take down of the two main bad guys was what really tanked it for me. I don't know what I was expecting but I know I wasn't expecting it to end in the lowest of take downs ever.
I know I haven't seen the first main ML and the main male villain in some dramas in a few years and was excited to see them both in one but wondered since they haven't been in anything in a few did they just took what they could? Did they not have any questions when doing the table read because I know I would've had some questions.
All in all, this drama have left me in a Kdrama slump. I'll be glad when I can find one that will restore my faith in Korean dramas. Until then...the slump continues.

Wow. Just wow
So good. I binged watched all 8 episodes in netflix last night. I really loved every episode. The plot was superb and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. It was so action packed and suspenseful. I am such a huge fan of the two male leads and their relationship, the characters and the story really was superb. Really don’t have anything bad to say about this kdrama. One of my favorite dramas this year for sure. Watch it you won’t regret it. I will definitely be rewatching this as it was so entertaining.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Do it! Go watch it! Don't hesistate! A netflix without an open ending, finally!
I loved this one. Disclaimer: Don't mind KSR character disappearance and just watch it expecting that her story ends somewhat well. I think it wasn't completely out of nowhere and was very happy they didn't keep any loose strings with her like dying or so.The series: it was amazing and complete. The two leads played their parts very well and helped the other stay grounded and grow. I am sad we didn't get our perfectly happy ending but the story did make sense.
The ending: it was great. There's a possibility for season 2 and there's hope that we see them again; however, the story we followed ended. No hiding tricks and nothing left for us to see with the plot beyond our characters' original dream coming true. The characters grew into what we wanted them to be.
Please watch if you don't mind blood. Some hard scenes will be there but it's not horror level gore. The action is great I usually skip action scenes because they don't interest me but I found myself replaying to watch them again.
Hopes for season 2: !!!!!!!! (please please please skip this part if you didn't finish it yet) idm spoliers but the below won't be nice to know before watching!!!!!!!!!!!!

- I really wanna see and believe Lee Doo-young or at least his family are alive! If there were to be season 2 it'd be too bad that all the ahjusshis are gone!
- If that isn't possible, I want a pre-Kim Myeong-gil storyline with old gang.
- I am dropping my hopes of Hyun-joo's return but if she were to comeback I want to know she's done something to the revenge could be unrelated to the clean up our couple has done but still some active participation that helped them in secret.
- Jae-min, our kim min jae, he needs to be back! He's a smartass and could be used by Ill group illegally if they ever wanna enter the scene - in an attempt to not be targeted by some goons again. Y'know the chaebeol style/pride.
--> The MARINES! Idk what about them but that plotline better go somewhere. I loved the addition and it gave an incredible spice.
Is there more?

Overall this show was intense and kept me interested. Like many others have said there was definitely a disconnect starting episode 7. I was also kind of disappointed of the ending, I feel like I didn't get the most satisfaction. WDH didn't kill the villain and we didn't see what happened to him after which was unsatisfying. It didn't feel like a final fight scene- I would say the best one was the first one in episode 8. Also the fact that they captured Beom and tied him up and then let him go to the hospital so that he wouldn't die was so stupid because he just kept coming back like a video game character. They finally didn't need him for any info so there was 0 reason to keep him alive bc he literally spawned. I surprisingly really liked the bow and arrow girl, it was cool to see some variation from fist fighting lol. Acting was pretty good and WDH never disappoints. I'm not usually into gore and violence but this was an enjoyable and quick watch for the most part.

I enjoyed this one as a fun action packed bromance to get the adrenaline rushing and the sudden need to hit the gym. I was actually biting my nails a couple of times because the combination of music, staging and suspense just worked in a lot of moments of this drama. The tone is very solid overall. The two main characters are so lovable! And the actors portraying them are so charismatic! Yes. Give me a solid bromance any day of the week. Their chemistry was off the charts!
This drama is just plain fun, thrilling and action packed. But it also has heart with the wonderful bromance between the two male leads. There was not a moment that was draggy for me, which is a common issue with some dramas of this nature. I love that this is a shorter series that knew exactly what it was. It never tried to be some ridiculous super complicated drama that has tons of unnecesary plot twists for the sake of surprise. No. This drama is a simple, bloody, action good vs evil type of show. It is entirely self aware and not afraid to cut it short when it needs to. As long as you're aware of it before watching it you'll be happy.
It even goes as far of sending one of their main characters away when she is no longer needed in the story. I am probably in a minority but I applaud this decision. The FL was not bad but from a writing perspective she had nothing to contribute at that point of the drama and the writers just sent her off somewhere else. You know it was the right decision when you don't even miss her. The heart and soul of the drama are the boys anyways, so it's ok. And I actually prefered the end of the series FL that replaced her. She had so much more chemistry with the boys and was a breath of fresh air. She was not presented as a hinderance and was used sparingly, not taking unnecesary screentime away from the boys like the previous FL.
All in all I enjoyed this one a lot! It's a nice not very complicated show that made me smile, scream and cheer at my screen more than a couple of times. Well worth watching!

I have to say that this show was a roller coaster of intense action and heartfelt moments. my favorite part of this drama is the bromance that they had on this show. You will not deny that they had a strong bond sense the first episode when they sparred in the ring together. It was very interesting how they based the show and the story line on the covid 19 epidemic. Those were hard times that people were struggling with and are still struggling with till this day. I was able to relate to certain moments of the show which I liked. I was on the edge of my seat the whole entire time, especially when it came to the fighting scenes like .... OMG so amazing. If there is one thing that you would like about this drama if not anything else is the relationship the two male leads have with each other. We barely get to see a lot of bromance dramas and this has become one of my favorite action dramas of the year. I also have to say that some of the scenes were predictable but overall its a really great watch especially if you are someone who likes a lot of action and suspense.

Ha cumplido
Con una serie de tan pocos capítulos en mi opinión ha cumplido. Este drama te trae acción y drama y es justo lo que han hecho en cada uno de los capítulos. A pesar de ser muy corta ha logrado que te encariñes con los personajes, en mi opinión no es tan liosa y es de esos dramas que se ve en un día o un fin de semana. Una trama que tiene sus momentos buenos y muy malos. Básicamente qué se podría pedir. La recomiendo muchísimo si queréis ver un drama de este género, corta y sin nada de relleno.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
Love the action in this one
I can say I really enjoyed this drama. The bromance with the leads was heartwarming love the characters even the ones I hated. The reason this doesn't get a full 10 is that the last two episodes felt like they took the guy down so easily which makes me think why it was so hard before. I do like how they didn't end with a cliffhanger like a lot of netflix series tend to do. Really enjoyed this one made me laugh, cry, and squeeze from the violence. Overall really enjoyable show if you like action and boxing or just like underdog stories and revenge.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
I watched this in two days, driven by the fast pacing and intensity. Choi Tae Ho, Hyeon Joo, Yang Jung, Doo Young, and Da Min were all so lovable. The entire cast was amazing, and Park Sung Woong plays a very formidable villain which made it a high stakes story. Although I fast-forwarded through the violence sometimes I did feel like the fights were choreographed and executed really well. The reason why my rating is lower is for two reasons:
1) It's sometimes baffling when the good guys underestimate the threat they're up against. Some of them should've known better!
2) The plot of the last two episodes was underwhelming (but bless those red shorts & training scenes). Choi Si Won's character especially felt like a missed opportunity; he really fell flat.
But overall, so glad I watched this because I'm an even bigger fan of Woo Do Hwan and Lee Sang Yi now.
