The story of Korea's top reporters and ordinary citizens fighting against the society elite's abuse of power. Working as a reporter for a racy tabloid called the Monday Seoul, Jin Do Hyuk uses any means necessary to get a scoop. One day, he goes to interview Jo Yong Deok, the boss of the Axe gang, who suggests that they start their own newspaper. Do Hyuk lies about the credentials of his former co-workers when he introduces them to Jo Yong Deok as potential hires for the newspaper venture. With his former co-workers on board, he is able to launch the Yongdeok Daily together with Yong Deok. But the newly hired reporters soon find themselves sucked into a huge conspiracy that could utterly ruin their lives. (Source: HanCinema) Edit Translation

A bit naive but still fun!

Two of my favourite male actors playing here together. Both known from action-dramas, kickin' ass etc. so it's been fun seeing their "virgin" faces in such a comic duo who more often get their assess kicked here, lol.

Lee Joon Gi seems destined to play those vigilante roles after this - repeats himself in Lawless Lawyer, Scholar who walks the night, Flower of Evil, Again my Life - a man basically keeps playing the same role, the same scenario over and over again, from series to series but still - he does it great and he never casts in bad series - some magical instinct to choose well.

Ji Chang Wook - hmm - a similar dude to some extent but for better and worse, his roles are more versatile - literally for better and worse - since he is able to show more of his talents while also showing his cringe side and a taste for some dull, romantic, stereotypical as much as it gets roles.

All in all, even though a Hero is naive like Healer or Pinocchio - it's been very entertaining and I'd say - it's worth watching no matter your taste in dramas - there's something here for everyone.

Decent

It was alright although it dragged, they should have filled the middle parts with random interesting cases rather than solely focusing on the main antagonist or expand more on the main story with more events other than his mistress and her kid. It followed the approach of "the only thing stopping the bad guy is the drama writer reaching the last episode". I liked the leads initial interactions but later it became a background noise, would have been nice if they were given a better development/story. On an unrelated note, Jung Soo Young showed unexpected sexy side.

It was mentioned that Kim Min Jung was meant to be the female lead but was replaced due to an injury, although I really like her as an actress but I don't think she would have been a good fit to play Joo Jae In character or to be a matching item with the male lead. Yoon So Yi did a good job as is for this role.
