I really enjoyed MDGSW at first, but after a while it started to get on my nerves and I dropped my rating because of the last two episodes. Are they kidding me? I am a huge fan of Makjang dramas and the story line is totally unbelievable as they always are. The problem is the progression of the story and the character development. I can't get into everything because we aren't to post spoilers, but some of the characters were one dimensional. Plus, there were so many unnecessary characters that I could have cared less about and they took up too much story time. I have seen better Makjang dramas.

Honestly, what kept me hooked are the women, Baek Jin Hee as Geum Sa Wol, Song Ha Yoon as Joo Oh Wol and Park Se Young as Oh Hye Sang. Jin Hee is one of my favorite actors, because she plays the strong yet sweet parts really well. She is also beautiful. I wanted to find out how their relationship would be resolved in the end. I was sadly disappointed by how it was handled in some ways. Se Young is really good at being a crazy biatch. I hated her from beginning to end. No redeeming qualities what so ever. The other actors are good too.

The music is ok.

I will never rewatch this.

I don't necessarily recommend this drama. There are other better Makjang dramas out there. Hit me up on PM and I will give you a list. :-)

Weak leads, fun supporting characters, entertaining enough plot

This is good trashy fun whenever we're focusing on the villains, mom's revenge, or the large and colorful supporting cast. Oh Wol in particular had a really satisfying arc. Both the supposed leads are very stupid, surprisingly irrelevant to the story, and have one of the worst "romances" I've ever seen put to the screen. Props to the show for not having them end up together, they really did seem better off as "siblings."

I refuse to believe an 8 yo could be this menace. A fleet of psychologists wouldn't be able to help this lost cause. The amount of secrets, birth secrets and swaps was unbearable that it made the drama tedious and frustrating. The characters' writing didn't help either. You got your usual doormat character who is the "goodest" person to ever live, you may as well erase her entire blood line and she will forgive you. The flashbacks at the beginning were utterly boring and too goddamn long lasting for 10 episodes. They are designed to push away any potential viewers. The romance was straight up ass, anime highschool romances are better. The resolution/ending/last episode all sucked. Nothing will go as you like.
