Bella May 01 2021 1:45 pm I have finally finished this and now really want to watch season 2.. the main real criminal is not caught yet. Wow. Such underrated drama, deserve more ratings. I watch the queen so seven days and I really like the king acting that's how I came here. I am not disappointed.

Withjoyfulsenescence Apr 10 2021 11:43 pm I just watched this series and I have to ask—please make a season 2!!!!!! Pls pls pls!!!

This remake is close to the original in its conniving plots and twists. Although i had to adjust at first because I was used to a one case per episode format and this is a multiple episode per case one. However, I got the reason while watching the series and it made sense to have one case arc instead. I highly recommend it if you’re into the underdog-theme and the scheming-plots.

P.S. there was a nod in the series to the original, where they named Roy’s dog, Elliot—the name of his character in the original.

m Jan 24 2021 6:15 am I have just watched this series and I love it soooooooo much I hope they have plan for season 2! I love these caracter so bad. ( And I also hope that roy and nabyol will end up loving each otherㅠㅠ) SS2 pleaseeeeeeeee!!!!!

biancaaame Jan 12 2021 11:18 pm I need Season 2 of this rn... Its 2021 and I hope they will make it happen...

Elliot Sep 15 2020 7:46 am Don't hate me but am Loyal to #TeamRoy and Elliot his character maybe tough but he has a soft spot and I like his character development. it seems like he was sufferring to war shock fron ep 1 to 7 but as the drama progress we begin to see the other side of him. Despite this drama has low ratings it deserves more credit for its story and uniqueness.

Hannah Jan 07 2020 3:46 am It's the second time I've seen Kim Kwon and Yeo Hoi Hyeon. i specially like their chemistry even when they were step brothers previously. They even used their names from the previous drama "Park Jae Hyung" and "Choi Moon Sik". I'd really love to see more of this on Season 2.

Roberts Bernice Dec 27 2019 1:31 pm Fantastic drama, I look forward to season two

rosse Dec 26 2019 2:11 am we very need season 2

Ryu Samuel Dec 22 2019 4:02 pm My only problem with this drama is the complete disappearance of Tae Joon's wife. I don't like it when things like that happen in a drama. And it's not the first. Tae Joon's wife and him should have a romance line and a Triangle love between them and Soo Kyung!

Park eun hee Dec 19 2019 1:03 pm Too bad that Korean are not a fan of making a second season. There are so many dramas that should have one but they don't have plans on making one even though fans are requesting it.

Ashie Dec 16 2019 10:59 pm Im hoping for season 2...please...

BEATRICE Dec 14 2019 11:07 am @Kim Ai Za - If we're going to follow the original Leverage series. Tae Joon's wife will actually be an ally to the team. Hoping for Season 2.

Alyna Dec 14 2019 8:23 am season 2 please....

sk Dec 14 2019 12:37 am roy and nabyul pleaseee ??????

jiyeon Dec 13 2019 4:20 am We need season 2 overseas!!

ara Dec 12 2019 7:00 pm Waiting for season 2!!

crystal Dec 11 2019 7:58 am Season 2 Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need More

lola Dec 10 2019 5:50 pm season two please...

Roro Dec 10 2019 10:37 am Waitin for season 2. It's pretty awesome! Good job team!

S A R A N G Dec 10 2019 3:01 am Looking forward for season 2

Kim Ai Za Dec 09 2019 7:03 pm I think... Tae Joon' s wife is something... Is she also a villain? ?? Hope will get the truth in next season.

Iza Dec 09 2019 7:01 pm For sure, there'a season 2. ??

Indra Dec 09 2019 1:46 pm Season 2? Abroad? Hope so...

Stechira Dec 09 2019 10:06 am I can't believe this drama wasn't popular, it was amazing till the end. I hope there will be season 2

Yangzi sherpa Dec 09 2019 9:02 am Gr8 drama ???love it....wish there will be season 2soon ...hoping ....looking forward....

Dinaya Dec 09 2019 1:11 am wish will have the season two

Hashire Dec 08 2019 6:53 pm Need a season two plsss

Cath Dec 08 2019 4:47 am @Mikoto same thoughts here! I was wondering every episode because I ship Taejoon and Sukyung but I always remember Taejoon's wife. I think they are separated but who knows. Maybe the wife is not on Taejoon's side. ?

Mikoto Dec 07 2019 5:05 am I wonder what happened Tae-joon's wife. Is she with the villain coz he was the one who was last with her during her son's funeral

Shine Pito Dec 02 2019 2:57 pm @Davod I agree with you. When the main villain was revealed, I was like "that's it already?". I mean no thrill at all, though I already have a hint that he's the villain.

Davod Dec 02 2019 9:43 am If I have to say one thing the reveal of the main villain was anti-climatic. It did and didn't make sense. Would of been better if some context was given because the content is missing. For me at least. Still good though.

Matts Dec 01 2019 11:29 pm Yeah, i cant understand why it has a low ratings. This series is really great. I really love it. They should have an award for this.

wendy Nov 30 2019 7:41 am this seems similar to player and mad dog (which i loved) so i'm unsure if i should give it go. anyone here able to share their thoughts on this show? considering it for Kim Sae-ron, has been a long time since her last acting gig.

Tigs Nov 22 2019 6:25 pm I am a HUGE fan of the original Leverage! I have seen every episode of every season multiple times, And I must say that I am very very pleased with this Korean version. Although the Korean version has aspects of it that differ from the original, condensed time, development of characters, (Which is difficult and just 16 episodes), And of course culture… This Korean version in my opinion maintains the heart of the original series. I like the way Kim Kwon’s character keeps referring to his dog Elliott, which is actually his characters’ name in the original series.

Molly Nov 18 2019 11:03 pm I don’t understand why this show has low ratings...

J L Nov 12 2019 9:25 pm VIN - Thanks for the updated information!!!

Vin Nov 11 2019 10:51 am They said TV Chosun aired compilation of earlier episodes and Episode 9 & 10 will be broadcast the following week.

J Nov 11 2019 9:25 am How come episodes 9 and 10 didn’t air on TV Chosun???

shayna Nov 11 2019 5:26 am joy, why?

Krus Nov 11 2019 3:43 am @joy do you have any idea why it was cancelled?

Joy Nov 11 2019 2:53 am Episode 9 and 10 have been cancelled

Krus Nov 11 2019 12:28 am I have been waiting for episodes 9 and 10. Any idea why it is been delayed?

Grasya Nov 04 2019 6:18 am Kim kaon rooted and the team its a nice K-Drama from a awesome cast and story line fighting noons and oppa just watch it and don't compare it ?

Kiki Nov 03 2019 8:22 pm I don't know how I feel about the remake yet. Only watching because of KSR. She's pretty awesome in here.

Nan Oct 30 2019 10:03 pm It has some MadDog vibes... is it that good?

shayna Oct 28 2019 9:57 am eui sung and na byeol look so cute together i love them.

William MI Su Sep 30 2019 4:08 am kim sae ron returning to her thriller roots, this drama should be good

Malcolm Sep 26 2019 8:25 am I loved Leverage it was quite unlikely at times but the cast were excellent especially Timothy Hutton...IMO its a great choice for a Kdrama as it was almost written as if it was one in the first place...

Maninder Kaur Sep 26 2019 6:02 am Cast is beautiful... I'm gonna watch it... i love this kind of Kdramas ❤❤❤

Black parade Sep 26 2019 12:27 am Con man again.. plot is almost the same as previous con man drama. I like the actors but I'll pass this one.

I Love Kdrama Sep 23 2019 1:39 am The plot sounds like Mad Dog 2.

David Sep 20 2019 6:11 am Cant wait. My favorite series now with a korean version!!!

Kpa Sep 20 2019 4:11 am Excited for kim sae Ron!!! Finally she's back in a drama!! Need her in a lead role after this though! And kim kwon is here after psychometric!! Looking forward to this hope these 2 have scenes together!

KimSaeRomFan Sep 18 2019 9:59 pm Boy I cannot wait to see Kim Sae Ron in some badass action scenessss I really feel that she suits the role well. The character she is gonna play is very similar to Jun Ji Hyun' character from the movie 'The Thieves' I wonder how will out baby Sae Ron portray this role. She used to be cute and charming in all her other previous dramas, now she is gonna be a badass con artist!!! I just cant wait to see her in this dramaaaaa
