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.

Watched the whole series without missing any episodes, and all my stars basically go to the male actor Song Jung Ki who I enjoyed the most. Never saw him before, but he was the one that kept me watching as he played the intelligent handsome youngest grandson that was reincarnated and taking over the family's company. The script was interesting -enough to keep my interest but I just couldn't understand the last episode 100% and by this time, I just didn't want to rewatch it - maybe I lost something in the translation or maybe I just didn't understand it not sure. Enjoyed the series until then. Didn't really like the way the romance developed either with the prosecutor - thought maybe a different casting could have been used for her as didn't find that much of a match to be quite honest, thus that is why I gave it an 8 overall - the last episode and the development of the romance. My review is meant to be 100% positive for the male lead and stars removed for last episode (script).

Since ep 01, this drama kept me intrigued. So many amazing K actors with a strong brilliant storyline...quite a rare occasion for a drama lover. Everything was well till ep 15, as an audience I could feel the protagonist. But they ruined it completely. Never once did I imagine that ending would be so cliche and depressing. They didn't justify it at all. I feel betrayed tbh. And way disappointed rn. Nobody treats a story like this -_- Only giving it 7 stars for those 15 episodes....efforts and work of actors should be appreciated.

I hope this series gets to remake again with a different ending.

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.

Overall a great drama till episode 15, intriguing plot and for first time in a while, every episode made sense. The volatile relationships between the characters and the hostile environment the drama is based alone makes this drama worth watching.

However the ending, episode 16, is one of the most confusing and meaningless episodes of I've ever witnessed. I wish I hadn't watched the last episode. It is like eating an extremely delicious cupcake but the last bite that you cherish the most is filled with poop. I wish there was an undo button for our memories.

The last episode, especially the conclusion, made a literal mockery of the whole plot and made no sense. The message that the writer wanted to present at the end "Repentance" had no meaning whatsoever. At least stick to an emotion that you can do justice to. Just because you need to finish the drama in 16 episodes, don't kill it with such a sub-standard ending. It could have been an excellent drama but it will be a good drama only due to the ending.

Even after years, people (at least I) would resent this drama for its last episode, which this drama and the team behind it doesn't deserves.

To summarise in one line, a fantastic drama with a fatal ending that kills the plot and the drama.
