1. [+750, -48] No but really, what's the point of Go Yoora and Park Shin Hye's older brother's characters? Are they only in the story to drag it out? Two useless ex-wives took up all that time, and I don't really see a point in their characters at all... I won't be watching next episode. If I knew this would happen, I would've only watched up to episodes 15-16 and known all I needed to know about the plot ㅡㅡ What a waste of time watching the whole thing until now.

2. [+716, -22] The drama's basically one big video pictorial for Hyun Bin and Park Shin Hye. They're so bad at incorporating PPL that it's funny how obvious they're trying to throw it all in now that it's almost over.

3. [+651, -12] I wish the scriptwriter knew a bit more about games.. She wouldn't need to drag the plt out so much like this.. how disappointing...

4. [+92, -3] Cha Hyungsuk died without any physical injuries so what were the police doing acting on testimony that Go Yoora strangled him? ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+79, -2] His autopsy report said that he lost all his blood when there were no physical injuries... well, I guess strangling someone causes them to lose blood. The police in this drama are fools for even listening to Go Yoora...

6. [+72, -7] The scriptwriter better never pick up another pen, pencil, or even a colored pencil ever again.

7. [+56, -2] The idea of the plot was fresh but the scriptwriter was not able to play it out. All she does is add explanations to explanations.

8. [+53, -2] I hate dramas with a ton of flashback scenes ㅋㅋㅋ I'm only going to keep watching to see the ending ㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+43, -1] Thrilling in the beginning, started yawning towards the end... I forgave all the overlaps with 'W' and the onslaught of PPL... but now I'm just going to log out.

10. [+42, -5] What a waste of Park Shin Hye's acting and beauty... her previous drama was a perfect mix of action, melo, and romcom, which she pulled off perfectly into 15% viewer ratings and later 20%... The scriptwriter for this one is just too hopeless.

11. [+41, -0] The idea is amazing... but the drama gets worse and worse as it goes on. This could've been American drama-level if it was better developed.

12. [+38, -1] The female character seemed really confident and good at her work in the beginning but all she does now is cry and follow Yoo Jin Woo around ㅋㅋ

13. [+35, -0] They better thank the stars that 'Sky Castle' isn't in their time slot. If 'Sky Castle' was in their time slot, it would easily hit 25% by eating up their viewers.

14. [+32, -1] Wait, didn't they say Emma can only chat from level 5. Why was Park Shin Hye able to login and start talking to her at level 1? I'm watching this out of pure loyalty but none of the plot adds up ㅡㅡ

15. [+29, -0] I started watching for the fresh plot but it's moving.. so frustratingly slow ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ it paused for 5 minutes but they were wasting that time kissing.. ㅡㅡ please ㅠㅠ just hurry up ㅠㅠ
