Michele Oct 04 2021 4:50 pm This drama was so Boring. None of the characters was likable. I had to force myself to finish it. Thank goodness it only had 8 episodes. By episode 5 I really didn't care who killed Yoo In-Ho. I wish they all had been killed. Pass on this one.

kkael Feb 05 2021 9:30 am mystery thriller with a bit of comedy. loveee this drama and reminds me of cheat on me if you can, that just premiered it's last episode last week. it's very interesting when the drama has a mystery genre but worthless scenes are everywhere because of oh na ra-ssi!!

hehe Dec 20 2020 9:27 am I genuinely enjoyed this drama. I recognize many people saying you shouldn't waste your time on that or that they had dumped it just after a few episodes. It was extremely intriguing. I even bawled my eyes out while watching “Chip In.” Before I had watched a drama called “It's okay to not be okay” and I have, to be honest, “Chip In” was so much more interesting. It took me about a month to properly finish “It's okay to not be okay,” but I wrapped up this one in a day. It was like you were a part of that mystery and you had to uncover the secret with them. I 100% recommend it.

saranghae Dec 12 2020 7:23 am omg dump this after 2nd epi i think nobody wants to watch this type of dramas if you look at the tv ratings

rian aprillianto Nov 29 2020 2:21 am So, this is poor version of Knives Out, right?

Cotton Oct 06 2020 1:58 pm They made the trailer so interesting that it made my disappointment even bigger after (painfully) finishing this drama.

It's not a full on mystery/detective/thriller like I thought. Feels kind of messy and a few genres mixed in together, not even blended nicely. Gives the impression they couldn't decide which direction they want to go for. Gets too repetitive and frustrating after 3 or so episodes....sigh They dragged it so long, should've just made it into a 96h or 120h movie like Knives Out (heck that one even feels almost too draggy).

Still watchable but not one where it blows your mind or exciting.

That potato Sep 16 2020 8:04 am It's good if you want to watch a short detective vibe kind of drama i don't have any problems with it not the best but not the worst either it just shows how far people would do for money and it made me have an existential crisis :)

Hanfive Sep 07 2020 11:59 am Bad drama. Dont waste your time to watch this drama.

Yesica Sep 07 2020 11:53 am Disappointed. I expect much at the first time. But, I think the story is weird. The vibe also changing along the time. At first, is so mysterius, like no comedy. But then, the comedy begin in the middle episode. Interesting I thought. Then, out of no where, detective stories began, when bit na and Sun trying to find who was the murderer. But, that detective stories not strong enough, like they just want to fill the amount of episode. And next, i dont even know what the writer want to tell. The story is so weird.

Many unlogical story, hit by golf stick until bleeding but you just got little wound and not even stay at hospital. Etc.etc..

Maria Sep 02 2020 5:00 am I think it is some of wonderful drama. At first, I think its a little bit boring. The appearance and plotI think it is some of wonderful drama. At first, I think its a little bit boring. The appearance and plot seems like knives out and it makes me think that it would be easy to guess, but I'm wrong. This drama is Super Daebak. I really appreciate the plot twist and the relations between character, especially bitna and her mom, bitna and sun. The relationship betweem them is getting warm, and I cry when bitna's mom defend her no matter what. It really show me how mom's love work. Sun also really helpful, I never imagine the cold relationship between them will be the warmest in the end.

laxyn Sep 02 2020 1:10 am i already ended all episodes! i really love how the plot twist work, aish i dont know what to say anymore. the plot & plot twist is really good so that im speechles.. TT

latte Aug 15 2020 7:25 pm I started watching this drama bcs it's Choi Kyujin comeback drama after his appearance in Class of Lies. The synopsis of this drama wasn't that interesting, but after finished watching it... WOWWW it was so good, though? I didn't expect I will be this mad, sad, and frustrated while watching this simple drama which was complicated more than I thought it would be. Good job to all staffs and actors/actress!

sheindus Aug 14 2020 12:23 pm @Nani? : The map in Inho’s letter is about to go to the big clock that he’s already set the camera up to monitor everyone. But in the fake map SulYoung&JungWook made they lie to everyone to go to the safe in Inho’s room instead. I think this will help :)

Nani? Aug 14 2020 10:35 am Did they show the difference between the letters made by inho and the fake one? I'm confused. Is the letter from inho is also about his will including the mappp? What prank he wants to play.

whiteviolet Aug 13 2020 9:12 pm love this drama so much . so sad that it ended only at the 8th episode?? truly love it???? oh nara maigaddd i really2 mish her since sky castle ended . same as goes to choi kyu jin as her filmed a character in class of lie??? definitely he is so handsome ??? kim hye jun also omaigaddddd she is so cuteeee ???? her acting skills was excellent ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️ thumbs up for the whole casts of this drama ??????

dadaaa Aug 13 2020 12:37 am I am guessing the first wife collaborated with Mr Moon to kill him.

Joy Aug 12 2020 1:32 pm As per english title, (United Effort to Accomplish One Thing) all the characters as in involved in the crime.

Lee Aug 06 2020 3:01 am I love this Drama

Prince Aug 05 2020 11:24 pm I don't know what's up with ratings in Korea anymore..... Awesome drama!! Hilarious!!

Lalla Aug 05 2020 7:10 pm I think the killer is going to be the least person we can think of and that’s the uncle’s daughter....she probably felt bad about how his dad is being treated. She probably wanted him happy if he got the will...

angela Jul 31 2020 1:45 am i dont know but i feel suspicious of the lawyer and reporter

Norma Jul 29 2020 7:31 pm Love this drama so intense and mysterious who killed her dad

Himissy Jul 29 2020 4:42 pm They all gave him sleeping pills because they wanted the will but it accidentally killed him, and then we have ONE person who tried to kill him by injecting nicotine but he was already dead....Im thinking the manager was the one who injected him. Maybe him and mr.yoo’s wife had an affair and wanted the inheritance money.....

Sheyla Jul 25 2020 6:42 pm It's so interesting, remind me of knives out haha

Tiara Jul 25 2020 8:25 am Knives out vibe... So interesting cant wait for the next ep

Lyn Jul 24 2020 7:04 am I suspect his former wife, housekeeper, manager and nephew but it can change when new episode come. There will be new splits story. Ahhhh fun!

bingbing Jul 24 2020 2:53 am So..everyone in the house has a motive to murder the artist include the house maid. We need Detective Conan to solve this case ^^

secret Jul 24 2020 2:39 am There are some movies with murderer plot like this. I hope there will be no more comments about a specific movie

critically Jul 23 2020 6:52 pm It's a mockumentary (mock documentary) series. It's really great? The cinematography reminds me of Sky Castle hahahah

Haylo Jul 23 2020 4:04 pm Seems interesting..would be a plot twist if the dad didn’t really die and faked his death to see who care about him lol

Adele Jul 23 2020 9:29 am I the first episode immediately reminds me of knive out. was this drama inspired from there?

Prince Jul 22 2020 11:36 pm First episode looks good. I'll keep watching.

Mark Evans Jul 15 2020 12:50 pm Finally!! Hye Jun in a lead role <3 Can't wait to see her in action

kyujin!! Jul 14 2020 6:53 pm can’t wait to see kyujin again and what character he will be portraying kyah!

hito Jul 09 2020 9:11 am omg Queen got lead role..

Gemma Minguito Jun 22 2020 9:53 pm I have been waiting for Choi Kyujin's next drama! I can't wait

Prince Jun 08 2020 2:00 am That poster looks interesting..... bookmarked!!

Bernadette Jun 03 2020 9:07 am Just right promotions. This will hit big time. I'm waiting for this. Kim Hye Joon's first lead role after being a villain in Kingdom. Fighting!

Ethereal Jun 02 2020 2:30 am The vibe.. Uh, it will reach high rating if they do the filming precisely..

LKB Mar 20 2020 3:33 am Kingdom's evil queen is in a lead role... gonna be a bit hard to forget her evil face, but I noticed I didn't even link her role in that and other shows because she looked so different... Hopefully they brighten her up a bit for this! Oh Na Ra quickly made me develop a bit of a crush on her... she's just beautiful. I wonder if she'll be Sky Castle sweet again or Woman of 9.9 Billion rude entitled and kinda rotten again! :P Wonder how many billions of won this one will be a fight over.
