I watched all episodes this past weekend and then the new ones. I LOVE it. Every time after part 1 I'm like NOOOOO but then I get sucked right into part 2 and again the cliffhanger gets me every time there too.

The major weakness is the Beast dude. His overacting is so distracting in every scene he's in. Everyone else is so good tho at making me constantly go back and forth on whose side they're on. I love the way everything is revealed in this show.

I want Woo Jin to NOT be the chairman and it to be a complete surprise. Can it be their dad???

That's exactly how I feel! I'm always disappointed when it's time to change timelines because I'm super invested in one storyline, but by the time the next one gets going I don't want to switch back to the other one. I'm glad both halves are great!

This show is turning out to be everything I want it to be. There was already a hint moving toward one of the twins as the Chairman, and since we know that Joonhyuk = Bumgyun, is Woojin really the Chairman...or is it someone else? What would Woojin's purpose be for being the Chairman?

I have nothing else to get at but KIM. GYU. CHUL. What.....? So...he took his own son? Then where is he? Is he actually the Chairman?

Gikwang is doing a great job here. I've never seen him act in anything here, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

I love getting more pieces to the puzzle~ every week while also keeping me guessing as to what will be uncovered next.

Thanks for the posts OP, reminds me every week that I need to watch this after my exams finish.

I'm actually sad more people aren't paying attention to this drama. It's the first time I've watched a series/movie where two halves of the story are equally interesting. I'm guessing Woojin's dad is actually the chairman bc Woojin being the chairman would be too easy.

i love love love this drama. even my family is watching it. i like that it keeps you guessing so you're not figuring everything out at the beginning like alot of shows. i can't wait to find out what exactly happened to woo jin. what we found out about the dad...omo. i thought maybe he had been taken or something but i didn't think of that. i've been obsessed with this show so i've been watching other dramas inbetween episodes. just finished my secret romance which was super cute and i just started suspicious partner. circle is definitely my favorite drama so far this year though.

I still havent watch this yet! I'm so happy I only read good reviews on the drama so far. Looks like my fave scriptwriter from Korea didnt messed up and continue to deliver with their amazing storytelling. :3
