I agree with every positive review here. The action scenes are gripping and fun to watch but there is also a sense of brotherhood and found family watching these people bond together. Absolutely loved it.

However all of it changes after episode 6. A lot of the main cast are killed off or disappear to mourn and it feels like the feeling of the family being built up was all for nothing, and suddenly everything is unusually easy for the main guys and there is a bunch of comedy everywhere when the series before episode 7 was dark, gritty and serious. Throughout the show, a girl is introduced to the main duo of friends and they become a real team. Then when her grandpa dies instead of sticking with the team, she suddenly wants to go to Rome?? It felt very out of character for her and the very next episode (episode 7), they replace her with another girl that we do not know. She seemed normal enough until suddenly she is an archer who has no issues possibly killing people? The show does not even try to explain this. They replaced a lot of the main characters with cheap copies and continues the story, except the story also doesn't make sense. A plot point was they needed to find a way to contact a very powerful individual in Korea (chaebol) and they didn't do it before episode 7 because it was too hard yet in episode 7 they do it instantly by just messaging them on Instagram? And they instantly become best friends? And also they just instantly befriended a guy that was on the villain's side, a guy that they hated and had witnessed almost kill a homeless guy in the first episodes?? It felt like they got new writers or some actors had to leave and they were stuck with what to do with the last two episodes, which kind of killed the show for me. The quality of the writing dropped so steeply so quickly it felt off. Before the last two episodes the show was very serious, it had its moments here and there for sweet moments and laughs but the villains were real scary threats and the fights felt tense and powerful. Everything post episode 6 felt like a joke and it was all suddenly so easy and everything seemed to fall into place without the main guys even having to try.

My point is the show is amazing UNTIL the last two episodes. I wish I didnt watch them and just remembered this show for its first six amazing episodes. The reason why this is an 8/10 is those six episodes but it would have been a 10 if it wasnt for the last two. The last two by themselves are a 3/10 at best.

I do recommend watching this show but maybe stop watching after the 6th to keep up the great image of the show.

Everything was awesome till episode 6, infact 6 is the best episode of the whole series, but then suddenly the female lead is gone out of picture, The 2nd lead is saved after being dead, and all other main character are killed just like that. And since they have to make sure that good side wins, the quality is gone below average in the last 2 episodes. Few scenes are really stupid and you'll feel like they are overdoing the action just to show fist fight.

And the end is so abrupt and just like that every person has a contact person who does the job for everyone. And I didn't know Korean currency is so weak since a billion wuon is like change after half series.

This series started with very convincing story line & acting, consist of how a a boxer with his friends try to protect his family, with the helps of a good old man. The first 4 episodes were very good, & I really like the fighing cinematograph, believe that the stunts team also have done a very great job.

But dont know why, after the 4th episode, the story line went sideway. Poor story telling with rediculous humour, especially when related to catching the bad guy, doesnt feel the producer give their best to close the story. & somewhat funny is lady, which is the adopted grand-child. Suddenly dissapear from the whole story after episode 6. Thought that the producer will bring her back to fight crimes together with the main characters.

Honestly, if not because of the good actors & good cinematograph, this series probably will get 3-4 stars rating...

After the first couple of episodes, I was impressed. The fighting choreographies, the characters. "Another South Korean gem on Netflix", I thought.

But as time went on, I found it to be overly violent. While it sure can be expected from an action series, at some points it became a bit much. However, this isn't even the thing that made me lower my rating.

What made my blood boil is this: you mean to tell me that "the good guys", aka Tae Ho and his crowd, kidnapped & tortured Kim Myung Il's man, attempted to kill another one- and then went to drink and have fun without expecting a counter-attack? The fact that all of them are caught unprepared for an attack they could have anticipated bugs me so much. Imagine being in a war and not expecting an attack- it just doesn't make sense. Tae Ho, who can't even walk, only has a measly gun to protect himself, which he conveniently keeps next to all of his money and golden plates. So that whenever he's attacked he can just give them?

The attempt at bro energy with the CEO in the last episodes is completely unconvincing.

In the last episode, a girl uses a bow and arrows to participate in a fight. Which made me think: the entire group of "bad guys" decides to kill Gun Woo and Woo Jin, but none of them has a gun? They all just gathered to beat them to death? So they just watch the arrows fly to them.

Also, the "pure evil" vs "good" guys plot is a bit overused. But the writers did manage to make the action entertaining.

(Not so) fun fact: The girl playing Hyun Soo was kicked out of the drama due to DUI. She crashed into several trees and structures and caused power outages. Basically, her entire career has been finished due to that incident. According to her managing agency, she has apparently worked part time to support herself because she had to pay for all the damages and had nothing left (allegedly). Reportedly she's also banned from public networks? She has been an actress her whole life basically. While this is a serious incident, I do not like how her entire life can be ruined and how everyone turned their back on her. There were individuals over there involved in much more serious stuff that still are in the public eye.

I imagine her removal had also affected the writing. Overall: a stellar cast, great action scenes but some characters' choices make you think the plot is inconsistent.
