    DATE WATCHED :

        I started watching it on the 26th of October 2021 and finished it on the 30th of October 2021.

    MY THOUGHTS :

        After watching Awaken, my mother recommended this drama since it stars Namkoong Min. She said that Namkoong Min is an Accounting Genius here so it sets the standard high since I appreciate dramas with genius leads. Honestly, this drama didn't meet my expectation but even though it didn't meet the accounting genius idea it was fun and entertaining to watch. 

        Even though it didn't meet my expectation, I enjoyed watching it because it was fun on how Sung-Ryong was branded as 'Good Man'. His real intention on joining TQ was to skim but ended up helping the TQ to survive and help employees not to be laid-off. It does not have a suspense or mystery feature but it has a lot of funny scenes that will make your day fun.

        In conclusion, it was good, new to my eyes, and really made me laugh. Even it was not I expected what was important is I enjoyed it. It teaches us that we are all good deep in our hearts just like how Seo Yool was able to redeem himself despite the dark road he was taking.

    MY PERSONAL RATE:

    8.6 / 10.0
