The plot becomes increasingly ridiculous to the point of makjang.. The directing, in particular the blocking, was noticeably bad on more than one occasion.
For those looking for romance, this is not your drama. Having said that, there was something compelling about the Adventures of Scrappy and the Giant that I tuned in for each week. No matter how silly it got, the actors really sold it and that carried me through to the end. I won't be rewatching it though

First of all the drama went way too long. Even for people who'd marathon this, they would still forget the first half or feel like it's been ages since they watched the first couple of eps.
The biggest weakness is this really, REALLY flexible storyline. Depending on what was needed, it happened. Regardless of its realistic possibility or moral value, or topping one stupidity after another.
The more ridiculous it became, the more fun I had with the side characters. Their weird behavior was entertaining at times and drew in the focus while the leads lost a lot of importance.
The "best" part was how this drama turned into a makjang. And that actually made me stick with it, even though it was still way over the top. But in exchange some of the hidden side stories were really interesting. I was even willing to give this a 5.5, but then the finale happened and destroyed more of what I thought wasn't possible anymore. People who should be clever, quick-witted or whatever, became the opposite, got stupid and blindly followed a messed up script. Not to mention the result of Kim Jong Sam's falsely judged imprisonment.
I wouldn't recommend this, not in a million years.

ITS NOT THAT BAD, WATCH IT FOR YOURSELF
When I see negative comments on any kdrama, I always see it as a challenge and would often try to watch it from start to end from an unbiased perspective.To my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed this drama that I completed it in a span of 3 days, yes it's not perfect but it was very entertaining. From the thriller and the plot twist to the comedy and the "romance" it was in a way refreshing to just watch without investing much into the drama. The reason I place romance in quotation marks is simply because romance isn't the main focus of the drama but rather the side dish so if you're here for that, I suggest looking elsewhere. It could've been explored a bit more in this drama but in my opinion, the small level of romance present was the right ratio.
A lot are complaining about the ending but it really isn't that bad, I mean it could've been better but in a way, it was still realistic. And though the bad guys were in a way "evil" and "bad" the whole drama is literally them running (metaphorically) from the "Good guys" while they get corned over and over again till eventually they get caught. Which makes it very entertaining
Do I recommend it? Yes 100% but I suggest watching it for the sake of watching, don't invest too much into it.
Overall: 9/10

For the story, I felt that it was dragging too much sometimes, especially in the middle of it. Although it is worth to be patient until the end. I've done it and I don't regret it.
For the casting, my favorite characters in the whole drama are Kim Yoon Soo prosecutor, Kwak Young Jae, and Ki Myeon Joong. Honestly, it's worth to watch it because of this 3. The 3 actors did a great job to impersonate them.
Music of it wasn't bad but it didn't make me listen to them besides the drama.
Overall I give 7 because of those 3 characters, 'cause they are worth to be watched.
