I'll jump write into it. I enjoyed it for decent chunks. It's not award winning stuff, and it has full scenes that are just dumb and sometimes even annoying.

There's a character that pretty much talks more in English than Korean but if it's supposed to be implied that it's his first language, the ball is dropped, he'll sometimes form a sentence in a way that has never been used before and genuinely just takes you out of the scene, on top of the character just sucking in general. The guy doesn't even have a redemption arc but is mentioned positively at the end for who knows what reason. The show even tries to teach a lesson of... "|even those who betray you are still your comrades"... The fuck? What are the writers smoking with that one... it's brought up more than once. Cut toxic people out of your lives, you're not a stepping stool.

Some antagonists smile and give evil triumphant looks in moments where it really doesn't make sense, and are as mentioned in the headline, cartoonish.

With all this negative talk, how did I still give it a seven? Well, the main cast does some heavy lifting, decent acting and a decent story involving them if you ignore most of the "villains" involved. (The evil dad is the only worthwhile antagonist).

Lastly but certainly not least, the show bumped up its rating by probably a full point, if not more, by letting the story breathe and continue after the climax. I have an irrationally powerful hatred for stories that end soon after the big moment and leave so much for the audience to fill in and assume. The series showed us where the characters are. their relationships, and key moments for the last half of the final episode, and that in itself bumped it up.
