Overview
- The series wrapped its run on July 25 and reached a nationwide peak rating of 23.1 percent on Nielsen Korea, marking a late-July surge in domestic viewership.
- After its global Netflix release the show climbed Netflix trackers, reaching No. 4 on the global TV chart and the No. 1 spot in several countries, according to FlixPatrol.
- Critics and audiences gave broadly positive responses, with reporting noting a high Rotten Tomatoes audience score and praise for strong performances and the blend of action and family drama.
- Producers and broadcaster SBS say they are in what they call 'positive talks' about a second season, but no formal renewal, cast commitments, budget, or production schedule have been announced and the show was originally billed as a limited series.
- The series, adapted from the webcomic Manager Kim, has raised So Ji-sub’s profile as an action lead and could influence Korean TV producers to back more adult-led action dramas if the informal talks move toward a formal greenlight.
