> All in all, a thriller done right and it never feels boring. With money, power and connections, what more will one need to become a formidable opponent? It is fun as our lead proves that no matter how strong this combination is, justice can still be served. Lately,I found it hard to finish the drama from the start till the end without a pause or watching another drama in the middle at the same time. But this drama really sucked me in from the first episode till the end.(I pause GIANT a more famous drama form same CAST and writer but too long) PLOT ------- True to its title, it has a continuous money-maneuverings blending with intrigue, humor, suspense; add a sprinkle of makjang elements, touching moments and lastly, a smartly-written revenge plot that will keep you hooked from beginning to end. The plot had good pacing and twists that made it hard to get bored. The romance was minimal but I kind of expected it due to that being the writers’ style. I think the story lacked more wackiness. I was expecting more laughs, which we didn’t get. I loved the ending!! The way the story handled prosecution battles and conspiracy within characters themselves will keep you engaged. It is funny, cute at times in the romantic side and can be felt more on the 2nd half of the drama. For me it was never boring throughout because there is a variation of tone the writers know how to execute in the story: if it’s funny, you’ll laugh and when it gets serious, you’ll like it best as it’s more solidly- awesome. The farther you get, the more gripping it gets. The ending gave me a huge smile on my face. All in all, Mission accomplished, plus more! Memorable performances, with a villain who thinks he is righteous but has a past full of lies and money. A plot never stuck me as much as Incarnation of Money CAST ------ In this drama, the characters seemed realistic though. At least 2-3 people and our lead is not even included are different in the sense that there is a minimal number of “real” good people here. In terms of acting, I can say that all the characters are very well-portrayed by the casts and I felt connections on their characters from the start. Kang Ji Hwan and Hwang Jung Eum are fantastic in their parts of Lee Cha Don and Bok Ja In. I think they even had good chemistry together. At least they move their faces and use hand gestures when acting so it isn't boring. The best of the whole drama was Kim Soo Mi as Bok Hwa Sool. She was just awesome. Apart from Kang Ji Hwan who did great in his role – his expressions are loveable here; I also the loved the mom a lot played by Park Soon Chun, she simply shined in this! Though likeable from the start, Hwang Geung Eums’ character warmed to me also on the 2nd half, mainly because her character is stronger there. This particular character could be difficult to portray, but she did it very well without going overboard; which she usually does with loud shouting (remember Kill ME ! Heal ME!! ?) I do like the fact that Ja In stands by Cha Don through the drama and matures and helps him. It seems like he matures also. The character development and the intelligence of the characters are the best parts of the drama. The supporting casts did a great job also, I loved the sidekicks! You'll love to hate the villains here, very well-thought characters written as well! Their battle of wits is one of the best things on this drama! MUSIC --------- The OST was also excellent & very pleasant to hear. I found it very compatible with the story. REWATCH Value ------------------ The reason i gave it an 9 because the thing about this drama is the surprises and shocking twists and if you know them the second time watching the drama, it wont be as thrilling, but maybe when i forget years from now I'll diffidently watch it again! VERDICT --------- All in all, the show turned out to be a lot better than I expected and the trial scenes throughout were easy to follow (which was one reason I chose not to watch at first/court and trials in most shows and movies tend to get confusing at times). [spoiler]The ending is sort of predictable, but the story line isn't. [/spoiler] If you like a little comedy and romance mixed with a revenge story, then you will probably enjoy this. If you're debating on whether you should watch or not, you should definitely check out the first episode; definitely BINGE worthy and apt for a weekend.
