This show had a lot of hype, and it had the incredible Park Seo Joon. I was expecting to fall in love with this one.

The beginning episodes went through the backstory in too much detail. The middle was definitely the best, although some characters got under my skin (both the FLs and all the villains... aka, way too many cast members!). I sincerely wish the show ended as soon as we established what happened to everyone in 2020. The plot lines after that were so unnecessary and farfetched.

I wish certain people were redeemable. I wish a certain early-story "boss" built some sort of loyalty with our protagonist, instead of being tempted by money.

I also did not ever like either of the female leads (okay, maybe I came around when Park Bo Gum showed up). I found Sooah to be too self-serving and took Saeroyi for granted. I wanted to shake Yi-Seo, because I don't think it's a good message to suggest that if you persist with your affections, someday it'll magically work out. I also felt that she had no growth in the story, still only caring about her boss above all.

The OST (especially the Gaho song) was lit though.
