Anitamaldita Oct 11 2018 9:39 pm I reaaly loved this drama i dnt even know why i ignored it everytime i see it. I love how she became fat again though it jist really shows that Cha don did not love her for her makeover not even for her money bc even when he was poor he didnt want to marry her just bc he dont love her. Aaahhhh now im really sad its finished... Any recommendation peeeps???

dido Jan 13 2018 6:02 am a comedy turned drama, suspense & action..one of his challenging roles ever, since hong gil dong..and as usual, showing his romantic side just like in be strong geum soon..you're the best kang ji-hwan..two thumbs up..i love you <3

RannyFrancisco Jan 18 2017 11:01 pm Here for HJE but found out she was not really a frontliner. Got hooked just the same because of the storyline. A battle of wits and "backdoor" plots. This is one unputdownable drama I should have watched earlier.

Semperlei Nov 28 2016 7:34 am Interesting kdrama... it's beautifully done.. you will keep on watching because of the battle of the wits between the actors.. its funny and the thrilling but lacks romance tho.. overall a 7 for me out of 10.

skila May 06 2016 8:15 pm One of the best dramas i have ever seen. I was at the edge of my seat the whole time wondering what was going to happen next, wishing revenge upon the antagonists. The acting was superb and the plot even more so. I highly recommend this drama .... well to everyone actually. It's just brilliant.

lee sung jung Apr 13 2016 3:37 am i liked it

anDreacoh Mar 31 2016 1:56 am If you liked this drama, you also have to checked History of the salaryman. It's top one on my list =)

Jseolhee Oct 25 2015 2:20 am Wow.. the rating tho! go marathon with hang jungeum onnie's old drama.. checked: full house, kill me heal me, she was pretty, secret love, running man next: incarnation of money, WGM

A.Lee Aug 15 2015 2:12 pm This is one of the best suspense,drama that i've watched so far every episode has a exicting scenes from1st till last episode it was just a great story.The writer here is too smart and brilliant i dunno why some korean netizens dont watch or enjoy this drama. While some fans from outside the korea really enjoyed it.

James B Aug 13 2015 6:08 pm Dose it have a happy ending?

umunie Jun 10 2015 11:50 pm great drama, superb acting by all actors particularly KJH and PSM . I think the rating is good. IMO, this is the best work of Kang Ji Hwan so far.

Z Jun 28 2014 5:37 am Fabulous. A show with substance, suspense and brilliant villains.

or_k May 11 2014 2:28 pm such good no, great drama and such low rating???unbelievable,what's wrong with k-people???? one of the best Korean dramas that I've seen until now,great actors and actress and good story,music and directing!!! great acting for both KJH and PSM!

maymay Mar 12 2014 3:09 pm I loved this drama sooo awsome and the best! Next to five fingers for sure! i miss this drama so much!!

brainasia Jan 06 2014 8:08 am i`m so excited to watch that movie...... i love Kang ji Hwan from his 2011 movie } Lie to Me { w/ Eun yoon Hye

raeynsd92 Nov 24 2013 12:30 am wuh..i like the storyy..

Cindy Nov 12 2013 7:08 am Is it happy ending?

sung hyo hwa Jun 18 2013 12:49 am you misunderstand the casting...its hwang jung eum not ham eun jung

sung hyo hwa Jun 18 2013 12:48 am wow 돈의 화신 is a very great drama ever.from the start up to ending....super............

loispieter Apr 28 2013 10:41 pm I'm so happy..hwang jeong so cute ):

Bro Apr 24 2013 11:09 pm Great drama. One of the few I have actually finished and kept an interest in.

solar Apr 22 2013 8:56 am Have to say not realistic and kind of disappointing, any person with a common sense shall know that (ref epi 24) that if a judge has any personal interest in any of the parties to a case he or she shall refrain from hearing that case,(lady judge former prosecutor in the drama is thinking of getting married to the guy who is the accused)despite that she goes onto hear the case. wow only happens in dramas and also lee cha don getting caught in ep 22 and being sent to jail, doesn't do much for his smartness.

script writing felt lot to be desired especially towards the end.

katina Apr 10 2013 8:01 pm LOVE IT! I became a huge fan of Kang ji Hwan after this drama!What a face and what an actor.

jini Apr 07 2013 10:00 pm I so so so love this korean drama. A must watch!!!!!

James Apr 01 2013 1:47 pm What is up with this show? Everyone is a crook, or obnoxious, or both. It's definitely got me intrigued, I'm really curious where it's going to go.

DINA Mar 31 2013 10:11 am i think is one of best dramas of 2013 !!! thanks to screen writer and actors !! plz ppl watch it deserves 10 times better rating :)

aisyah Mar 23 2013 6:27 am The best drama airing right now!!!! believe me!!!. great cast, kang ji kwan, hwang jung eum, park sang min superb acting!!!!!!

DramaSnob Mar 22 2013 4:13 pm Calling someone an idiot for an honest constructive criticism just because you (fanya, comment #15) do not agree with her is petty and low class. Person like you is one reason why North and South Korea are not united. My intuition is telling me though that you are not Korean because the Koreans I know are far broadminded. For your information, I find the drama good so far except for the criticized part in the early episode. The purpose of the critique is to give the flick industry a feedback with the hope that they will improve their product. It is not my intention to upset other viewers.

Su Mar 18 2013 9:48 pm this drama is so good, my favorite one from the ones airing right now. Ugh, now I have to wait 6 more weeks for it to finish! Gaaaaah, it's so interesting!

Kizz Mar 17 2013 5:15 pm Sooo addicting. Very nice drama. I will give this drama a 4thumbs up

adiah Feb 22 2013 8:09 am I'm addicted to this series. Viva Lee Cha Don!

fanya Feb 17 2013 8:28 pm Only idiot people think that you cannot make a fiction drama with some real part of daily life. I just enjoy the drama without make noise. Shame on you, dramasnob.

josefani Feb 17 2013 7:17 pm jaja don't be so, is a fictional drama, want not to say that some parts are real, but the meaning they want to convey is that greed, power, money ... leads to the absolute limits, if you can pass the barrier fall and there is no turning back.So, is what i think they want to convey. Luckily, laws exist and everything is discovered.

hera Feb 10 2013 5:42 am What do you say? Some random words? Finally in 3rd episode Kang Ji Hwan take the lead from that ugly young boy. I'm so happy. Hwang Jung Eum also look sooooo funny with that fatty costume. I always laughing so hard everytime I see her in this series.

DramaSnob Feb 07 2013 1:14 pm Distribution of assets under a will involving huge amount of money cannot happen in real life without going to court. Assets of this magnitude usually take years for the court to settle. Not only the heirs but also the creditors should be heard, there are strict requirements regarding notices, and the court will have to look if the will is valid. The writer could have gotten away with it with the right script: there should be probate proceedings where the heirs and creditors including the banks are notified (it's obvious that it did not happen here); the evil guys should also bribe the judge; the distribution should be read in court (not in the private living room) which should happen at least after a year (not right after the chairman's death). The director should have a legal adviser to make sure the script is convincing. Even a law student should know about the legal requirements of a will.

Hami Feb 07 2013 11:59 am Aww... Man y does it have to be seo shinae??!

kani Feb 07 2013 7:26 am This is a good one. Believe me, it's worth to watch. Don't waste your time in other weekend dramas, watch this one.

Kumon Dom Feb 03 2013 11:19 pm I like this drama, but hate lighting/camera mode(?) in episode 1. Like a noir drama

manda Feb 02 2013 10:46 pm Why they're not moving on. We, Indonesian KPOP Lovers, really love T-Ara!

ixtyjjang Jan 31 2013 10:44 pm So uri Eunjung isn't one of the cast afterall? Why? I was waiting for this drama, because of Eunjung~ >.<

haha-counter Jan 30 2013 1:41 pm yeah, as if you are their neighbor to know the whole story. you have no idea what actually happen in that company to speak as if you and eunjung are bff before. such people are the real-life example of those characters you saw in any drama that think they know something other people don't and boast it around the place while making others just wanting to punch their stupid faces

haha Jan 26 2013 9:31 pm I'm glad Ham Eunjung isn't in this after all because if she was, I wouldn't of have watched this. I don't support bullies.

Gabee Jan 25 2013 2:06 am I hope Ham Eunjung is gonna be one of the cast!!! Love her! #Fighting (;

siti Jan 14 2013 8:02 pm i hope very much, eunjung t-ara will join here

Bookhead Jan 14 2013 8:37 am I really hope Kang Ji Hwan isn't replaced i'm so anxious at the mo!

kimyu Dec 10 2012 8:10 pm Why is everyone hating on her o.o If you don't like her keep it for yourself.. we're all human beings you know... of course she will probably never see this but it doesn't change that she is human and you don't have the right to insult her or saying things like "kick her out" ... I don't mind her
