How things unfolds should be up to you. You guys already know me. It's better to watch it yourselves than me explaining it in my elementary English hehe.

Why you should watch it?

If you have business acumen, there are tons of tidbit business advices throughout the series that you may want to catch. Now if you're a fan of K-Drama the usual love triangle in these kind of situations might interest you while working on the dynamic of business competition for competing ideals.

Rating: 4.5/5
