Finale episodes are make or break. The worth of an entire show depends very much on executing loose ties and their resolutions. "Bad Guys" did not disappoint me for a minute, and exceeded my expectations of what a drama could be.
At the end, viewers gained the full picture of how messy and interconnected the group's relations were with each other. But even though heavy doubt hung over them, one could not deny how well they worked together as a team. And ultimately, that team prevailed to make the best finale for a high-intensity, high-stakes drama that I've seen to date. Watching this drama will not disappoint, and will keep you invested all the way through! So dive in, sit back, and enjoy the ride...
Eagerly hoping for a season two announcement. Even Ma Dong Seok jokingly made a plea for a second season in the end credits^^ I hope the OCN network sees the value in this drama and is able to push it to new, further heights. The cast was impeccable, and the scripts had integrity that is unusual and difficult to find in dramas.

I have never been so impressed with a pilot episode for any TV series I've seen, never mind whether it's a Korean drama or not.
I appreciate how the scriptwriters organized the story to immediately delve into the action and plot. There was no long, drawn out introductions - and the ones that were offered were powerful and straight to the point, they made the most with their time.
The fight and action scenes were high quality, in my opinion. I liked that they have each character's fighting style differ, highlighting their different personalities/backgrounds.
High intensity speaking scenes and fighting scenes are a perfect combination, and personally I'd like to see this 'team' remain the main focus of the show and not stray too much into romantic relationships.
I wish all the best for this drama to succeed and gain the attention it deserves. I sincerely hope for the show's future scripts to have integrity, because frankly, I'd say upcoming dramas could learn a thing or two from watching this show.

It's Okay, That's Love Episode 4

After this episode, it's safe to say I'm in love with this drama.
I will definitely not take the scriptwriting for granted. I hope this show's script doesn't fall apart in the latter episodes, because if it continues this well this is a refreshing, groundbreaking drama, I'd say.
I love how seamlessly they combine the story line, create touching memories, and the main two's interactions. Everybody's interactions are on point, as a matter of fact!
This drama blends three of my favorite things in a drama: slice of life, murder/whodunit, and pride/stubborn character personalities.
As a side note, I love how Ji Hye Soo isn't a perfectly dressed up character played prettily by an actress like that. She doesn't look or do things daintily and it matches her part, making it more realistic.
And I love Dong Min and Soo Kwang's duo. It's not just for comedic relief. You can see those two really care for each other and they have separate story arcs themselves, Dong Min a little bit more than Soo Kwang.
And for this episode itself, the ending was a beautifully well-done plot twist. I'm eager to continue watching more episodes from this drama. I hope this network will continue pushing for dramas of this type!

This episode was flawless for me, as dramas go. I don't think I've cried so much at a drama episode before. These were hysterical tears. Not even for the Boys Over Flowers finale, where it was just a sad feeling.
Cannot wait to see more. I wonder how the writers will be able to tie up these new ends they've introduced for the finale. Right now the storyline is intriguing and set up well. I cannot stand Wan's father keeping those letters away from her. (The Notebook, anyone?) I haven't been too crazy about these father parts he's been in. The last drama I saw him in was Love Rain, where his character seemed slightly selfish like this too. However, I'm anticipating future episodes~
