Chun-doong sounds like my kind of guy! Even though he was robbed of his noble birth, he built a good life for himself through hard work and honesty. Respect! Gwi-dong seems cool too, fighting corruption as a police investigator. But I gotta choose a team, and I'm Team Chun-doong all the way.

Sounds like a classic case of "rich kid problems" meet "street smarts" with a dash of forbidden bromance! Can't wait to see the hijinks that ensue when these two switched-at-birth brothers realize their true connection. Hopefully, there's some humor mixed in with all the drama.

Switch at Birth is a popular cliche for dramas in my country. Rich kid raised by poor parents becomes kind while poor kid raised by rich parents becomes evil brat

I'm with you. If I had to choose I would be Team Chung-doong all the way. It's the women I didn't really like in this series. Dal-I was OK as a loyal friend but not as a lover. And I didn't like Dong-Nyeo because of her attitude. Even when she changed and decided that “noble blood” was not so important, I still didn't like her! Maybe it's just me. LOL.
