President Choi was once a legendary figure in the moneylending business, but he suddenly disappeared. One day, he reappeared and began to lend money without interest to people in trouble. He lets Kim Gun-Woo work for him. Kim Hyeon-Ju and Hong Woo-Jin also works for CEO Choi.
This drama is superb! I was on edge for the whole series! Seriously, it was action packed, even better storyline, good casts, it had everything good!
I loved the fast-paced drama it brought and the adrenaline rush I had whenever they were on yet another action scene. Tbh, this is my first time watching Woo Do Hwan's and Kim Sae Ron's work. I could confidently say that WDH did an amazing job as Gun Woo. The bromance between him and Lee Sang Yi was palpable. I love how these two characters differs from one another but match perfectly.
The storyline was predictable, probably due to the few episodes, but I have no complaints. The extra characters like Mr. Choi, Lee Du Yeong and Hwang Yang Jung made the story shine. I love the kinship that they form in that short amount of time. What happened in episode 6 was devastating for me. I bawled my eyes out, hard.
Another thing that I appreciated about this drama was that they (Woo Do Hwan and Lee Sang Yi) really committed to their role. From the various interviews they had, they really bulked up for the last two episodes. Building muscles and forms. I think they are going for season 2. I wasn't sure how it would be and what would happen considering this series concluded well. Whatever it is, I am so ready for another action-filled drama with them! Hopefully, the actress who played Mr. Oh's granddaughter will be back too because she is so badass!
