This started out entertaining but not something I needed to see right away to something I was impatiently waiting for every week. It was mostly about Noh Go Jin (or "Mr Noh Manners" as he's called by almost everyone ) but there is a mystery surrounding it.

Noh Go Jin is a nightmare boss. He's cruel, has no manners, no patience, narcissistic, and cares about money more than people. No wonder someone wants him dead, and the list of suspects is very long (former securities, instructors,, his ex boss from a rival company, his ex girlfriend, a stalker, and even someone very close to him). He's a flawed human, and the drama never is not shy about making this known, or doesn't forgets it towards the end (the opposite actually his behavior becomes a much bigger issue in the end) . But he's still a person and is okay for him to receive death threats and or to even destroy him for revenge? After realizing how much he hurt Shina he slowly begins to change but the rest of the work comes later when he realizes how much pain he caused.

While the drama focuses more on his development, I really liked the writing around Shina. She starts off as a bit of mousey character that had decided to put up with Noh Go Jin's abuse until she had a chance to achieve her dreams but after thinking she was going to die let her crazy side out (although her revenge was more on the petty-annoying side compared to the rest), and it begins to change her attitude towards life. She begins to find more confidence in herself, and doesn't compromise on her dreams or the things she cares about, and decides to do it all on her own, even to the end. That said she's still empathic and honest. Also she never lets Noh Go Jin's delusion ex get to her, instead deciding to to trust him and to wait for him share things when ready.

That's probably why they work so well together and seemed so believable, they decide to trust and support each other without letting jealousy or petty drama get in the way (well he does act petty at times, but she knows how to shut him down, lol).

My slight criticism comes with the "villain" reveal after all that time building up to it, and how the drama wraps up everything so nicely at the end (well except the last minute of the last episode, I loved that so much), with some people getting let off easy after everything they did. But when it comes down to it or maybe it was to show that Noh Go Jin was such a easy target to blame for their own faults on (expect Shina who realizes pretty early on he was a human and getting revenge wouldn't really make her feel better). Some more development with Baek Soo Young would have been nice. Why happened to her over the last 12 years that caused her to hold on to the memory of him so tight? But maybe I'm biased I hate that 'ex who comes back' cliche.

Kim Jae Wook is great in general, but when Noh Go Jin is emotional (happy, sad, angry hurt, concerned, and especially in his heart eyes towards Shina), that he really shines. While I think Oh Segi wasn't written that constantly I think that Ha Joon did the best with what he had.

I still feel like there was something missing from the final episode, maybe because there wasn't a scene with Shina's dad and his grandchildren, lol, but I don't know. It was still a enjoyable ride that I'll rewatch again for sure.
