Reasons why this show disappointed me in a way:

The first episode of the show was confusing because there were too many characters mentioned and you can't tell instantly what the plot is. Later on, as the episodes progressed, it created a big impact on me. I thought that this show was worth looking forward to because of how Vincenzo executes all of his plans. Adding to the fact that the main villain hasn't been revealed yet, the suspense really stayed in me. The people in Geumga plaza had too much screen time and their humor is really not up to my liking. Each episode should not be 1 hour and 20 minutes long, they kept adding scenes to the people in the plaza which really did not contribute much to the plot.When the main villain was revealed, I really had this expectation that he would act for himself. But that only happened in episode 20. He kept clinging to Wusang, he makes them do the dirty work for him and what's even funnier is that he kept sending bad men to pursue Vincenzo and all of them were easily beaten because it took them a while to fire their gun or attack him instantly? There were a lot of plot armor which do not seem realistic. He was also overly praised for being a consigliere. They created this suspense at the beginning and it vanished when they started adding some random scenes from side characters. Vincenzo also admitted that he could have taken down Hanseok at the beginning but didn't because he wanted to prolong their struggle.I'm giving it a score of 6.5 because Song Joong Ki and Jeon Yeobeen are great actors and their chemistry is great. The plot is so-so.

Dragged out story

I started reading the manhua recently but it is still ongoing, then found out that it has a c-drama adaptation so I jumped into watching it immediately.
This drama could have ended at 20 episodes if only they lessened the time allotted to finance stuff that nobody really cares about (I skipped most of this scenes). It is truly a wasted potential to see both amazing actors paired but have a complicated characters. The female lead is smart career wise but makes really poor decisions when it comes to romance. Still can't believe that she writes good headlines and talk professionally to different businessmen but can't even make a proper apology to the male lead. I think it took almost 5 episodes just for them to reconcile, which should have just taken one episode instead if ONLY they learned to properly communicate *sighs*. 36 episodes is too dragging, they could have already started their relationship early if those COUNTLESS phone call interruptions didn't happen.
This is my first time watching Bai Lu and I am now in love with her.
