Such a creative and catchy story. That guy, Song Joon Ki, has a good eye for scenarios, I believe. His works are always the best. He is the best cast for smart guys, BTW. Must be one of the very few K dramas I can't stop watching even to sleep. The reason why I stop watching is not finish all episodes broadcasted. It will be difficult to wait for the finale. However, I do not think there is great chemistry between the leading male and female actors. That's the only thing I found "ok". I like the fact that in K dramas, there are some fantastic elements that lead to broader range of small stories beside the main story. Bonus, the first episode is taking place in Istanbul. Thank you all who worked for this drama.

I watched a couple episodes and thought it was interesting, fun, good cast (so many recognizable faces - or maybe so few top ranked Korean actors?), well shot, good locals, basically everything to make it worth watching. I'm about to watch episode 11 and find myself wishing they released the entire season in a single go. This really has been a fantastic series, I had to come back and increase my rating and write this review. Too many Korean shows start very well then begin falling off in the later stages (Bad Crazy, Aelliseu, Ghost Doctor) but so far this show has only gotten better. This is better than some very good shows like Vincenzo, Zombie Detective, Weak Hero Class 1... and a bunch of shows I never finished. Hoping this continues with top quality.

And I wish Song Joong-ki would work a bit on his English accent :-)

Forget any bad reviews. I have watched a lot of dramas and this is right up there with the best. All the actors especially the leads were outstanding. I literally counted the hours to the next episode and could easily watch it all again. 16 episodes was perfect and not dragged out and it didn't feel like a rushed ending. I think it even left room for a season 2 as lots of characters still could have further stories to unfold. The Chairmans character went from hate to love and back during the series. Song Joon Ki proves how adaptable he is to different roles and chooses his projects carefully. I encourage you to binge watch this series as soon as you can. Now if possible!!!!!

Yoon Hyun-woo (Song Joong Ki) is a dedicated and loyal employee of Soonyang Group. However, the company frames him for embezzlement and gets him shot in the head. He wakes up in the past as Jin Do Jun, the youngest grandson of the Soonyang patriarch, Chairman Jin Yang Cheol (Lee Sung-min). Yet he retains the memory of his previous 30+ year-old self. Armed with knowledge of what would happen in the future, he enacts his revenge against the family that destroyed his own in his old life. He also befriends a young law student Seo Min-young (Shin Hyun-been) who he knows would become an anti-corruption biggie and Soonyang family's "grim reaper" in the future.

Imagine knowing events before they happen such as which presidential candidate would win or which stocks would bubble and burst. It's every financial investor's dream. No wonder this became a huge hit in Korea.

Up to episode 15, the drama seems like any other about members of a ruling family fighting for the top position in the company, albeit one of them has knowledge about the future in his disposal. But the way episode 16 wraps it up in the end pulls it far ahead from the pack. Some viewers have expressed disappointment over the ending but I love it. It's mind-boggling and, for me, confirms Korean drama writers' brilliance.

This would have been a 10/10 drama but the way it ended was just a complete lack of effort by the scriptwriter. It's as if the Game of Throne creators managed to get their hands on this script too.

You've got a great cast, such solid actors who were able to convey so much with every glance and action. The grandfather in particular was a force of nature. The premise of the show was fantastic, you could do so much with the plot! I'm sure everyone has asked themselves at some point, what they would do if they could go back in time to relive the past with their memories intact. So many possibilities, especially when one has the knowledge of what's to come! Yet the scriptwriter had to ruin everything with that ridiculous and lackluster ending that spat on everything that the earlier episodes had set up. Honestly they should be ashamed of themselves for that last episode.
