Biggest flop in k-drama history

This drama had one of the best start any drama I have watched to the day, and really excited me to continue to watch it because it was intriguing. Not gonna lie this series is a good one overall but it has some of the biggest flaws in the story. The writer wasted almost have of the drama in a triangular love and didn't develop any of the main leads after episode 8. the series just stagnated. From the very first episode we are introduced to this amazing character and we are led to believe that he is the main character of the story, but nono.
The story revolves around Mr. Han who wrote letter to Dal-mi becoming her only friend during a really difficult period of her life, and yes he only did it because Dal-mi's grandmother asked him to, but we have to take in consideration that even after that he wrote a lot of personal stuff in those letter, so the story starts after this letters and Dal-mi's father dying after getting and investment.So we're let to believe that Mr. Han and Dal-mi are the main characters. in the case of Dal-mi she is amazing in the begging, a very talented woman capable of accomplishing anything she wants with a relative different approach to life, and her driving force is her older sister that choose to live with her mother instead of her father like Dal-mi choosed, basically she wanted her sister to regret her decision.
Up to this point we basically have the plot set in stone to the story begin.
Hey with this kind of plot you're set to have an amazing drama. Then you introduced this other character Nam Do-san who is consider to be a genius programmer but a really awful like really bad as a CEO, why is he introduce you may ask? well, the letters I talked before where sent to Dal-mi using his name as sender. This just make this story a love triangle and really interesting which one of the two she will choose her partner or boyfriend or whatever you wanna call it. Up to now everything is enticing.
The problem this series have is that after she is led to believe this Do-san guy is really her friend is told that it isnt and it was infact Mr. Han. So after them lying to her their relationship went south, because she doesn't know which one of them is the one she likes, the Do-san of the letters or this other Do-san. This part is basically what can move the story forward to our next problem. So she became mad at the two of them and up to this point, we are led to believe that she is only with Do-san because she thought he was the one from the letters. So either Do-san wins her heart or Mr. Han does and here resides the problem of the story, not only Do-san does nothing to win her heart or her trust again but also Mr. Han does basically nothing to win her heart apart from a love confession. So either of the character can't be with her in my opinion, this was basically the part to win her heart and both fail so hard in my opinion to do.
So when the writer then says that Dal-mi love the new Do-san, it doesn't make any fucking sense, like why? She needs a really good reason in order to be with him, Writer: Dal-mi likes Do-san because he is Do-san. What???????????????? How????????????? Why?????????????????
This guy after Dal-mi finding out became violent (he punched Mr. Han because of his own poor decision making abilities and jealousy), low-selfesteem, dork, jealous, an idiot. So why does she likes this toxic guy? What sets him apart from Mr. Han? this is a very important question to answer when your reason is because he is Do-san. This is why a lot of viewers are discontent with how the story came to be.
Personally I liked a lot more Mr. Han to end up with her BUT he is also at fault that he lost Dal-mi, He does nothing to win her over again. So in the end I think she didn't have any reasons to be with any of them.
Another problem that this series have is her second lead, Her older sister is set from the very begging to be her driving force to become better and an amazing business woman more succesfull than her older sister. This character is left in a corner with no screentime what so ever. If she is her driving force you better have them interact with each other like a lot but no. This character had so much potential but wasted to bad.
Finally the start-up problems, eventhought I'm not a succesful businessman or own a big enteprise, but hey trust me when I say that, this guys just got lucky. They develop and amazing app but with no oportunity to generate money. This kind of project you can only make possible and viable when you have already a succesful business and you have a lot of money not a really good idea to a new company to be making. I feel like everything they achieved is because of luck and not because of hard work. So, what could have been a point in favour to the series becomes one of its problem.
Apart from the Story, I can say with full confidence that all actors did a really amazing job in portraying this poorly written story. I can say that this director has to me accountable for this dramas problems. because when you're shooting this series you can probably tell that some things are not right and should be changed because this is also part of the Director job.
I will never rewatch this drama in my life and I will never recommend this drama to anyone unless I hate the person, because this series overall is an above average one probably a 7 or 8, but those problem makes the story so dragging and anoying to the point of not wanting to watch the next episode. Hope this is writer and director learn from their mistakes and improve in their next drama, because we're humans and humans can make mistakes.

Amazing investigation drama

This second season is not quite as good as the first one but still it better than others. The cast and acting is quite amazing, the only thing this season floop a little bit is just in story. This is a must watch for anyone interested in police and investigation type series.
One of the things this drama is missing Shin Hye Sun, it is really a shame that her character died in the first season. Her acting along side with the two Main leads would have been an amazing trio actors.
Hope they continued with a 3rd season involving a little bit more of chaebol families and probably adding a little bit of romance between the leads, because is a little bit frustating they been involve is a "some" type of relationship. I'm saying this because only two females were able to make Shi Mok express some emotions, one is already dead and the other really cares a lot of him.
