1. [+3,293, -261] I just went and read 'City Conquest' and this is utter plagiarism. I think anyone who's seen both will be able to tell that it was 100% copied, especially with how he asks the mafia boss what his blood type is.

2. [+2,423, -161] This really does seem similar

3. [+2,218, -130] The early concept of the drama is actually... a lot similar... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+2,050, -153] Can't deny that it's similar... ㅎ

5. [+858, -29] I was wondering why the first two episodes were so good and it was because the scriptwriter plagiarized them.. and it seems she's been trying to write it out on her own now but it's been a mess ever since.

6. [+729, -13] Sure there are tons of stories out there with an heiress in a coma... and a doctor doing illegal activities... but to have them both in the same plot in two different works?

7. [+723, -33] 'City Conquest' is getting a drama adaptation too so I hope they sue this drama ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Do the producers not even know how popular this comic is that they can talk about it like that?

8. [+556, -17] Hul, it really is similar aside from the supernatural power stuff

9. [+543, -18] Yeah, this is plagiarism... she really did seal the plot...

10. [+527, -16] She should've kept plagiarizing it.. the drama started getting boring once she tried to write the plot on her own.

1. [+233, -4] Judging by yesterday's episode, the only person ruining this drama is the scriptwriter herself ㅡㅡ

2. [+208, -17] The plot is way too similar

3. [+192, -6] It really is similar. From the looks of it, it seems like the scriptwriter was copying pieces of it and then tried to write the rest on her own, especially with how there were some random parts that the viewers didn't understand this week... The drama was fun at first but it's been losing it as the weeks go on. In order to get rid of this controversy, the drama's going to have to start picking it up soon but the plot just seems more and more lost in the mountains. Upsets me as someone who likes the drama ㅠ

4. [+24, -6] I wish they'd just admit the truth... how disappointing.

5. [+18, -1] It's not just a few parts that are similar but the main plot points are complete copies

6. [+18, -1] The drama was only doing well up to the 4th episode...

7. [+14, -7] What a waste of Joo Won's talents...

8. [+13, -0] Honestly the 7th and 8th episodes were so boring
