Phoenix definitely had it's good days and bad days, which I've come to expect in long dramas. There were quite a few characters I didn't really care for, however the ones I liked kept me coming back.

Applauds go out to Lee Ji Eun (Hong Soo Ha) and Seo Jung Min (Seo Ha Joon). Both did a fantastic job in their roles and really kept the show afloat. No spoilers other than the bad guys/girls were bad and the good guys/girls were good. The last couple of episodes I almost didn't watch - but I'm glad I did. Through out the show the writer seemed to really try hard to bring out the humanness in us all and the end focused on that.

If you like Monday through Friday dramas I'd put this on one in my recommendation list. While it may not be the best daytime drama you'll watch, it certainly has a redemptive quality about it.
