Honestly I don't even know why I watched this drama and I don't remember how I stumble on it plus I'm not a person who would watch a 50 ep drama unless I'm really interested. The fact is when I first started it there weren't any info about the No. of ep so I didn't know, however when I did know it was already too late and I'm already hooked by it... I'll say this the synopsis DOES NOT do this drama any Justice!! here is my review:

Story: It is a good family drama, it has all the elements you would want in a family drama "romance, betrayal, deception, family bounds, sacrifices, drama, comedy, greed, obsession, love triangle, evil doings... etc". I think the story developed nicely there weren't any draggy moments (as strange as that may sound because even a 16 ep drama becomes draggy somewhere but MLBMS didn't). The story reminded me of old Mexican Telenovas (even though it isn't copying any show) yet the atmosphere seemed familiar (so it's like watching those beautiful Mexican series but Korean and only 50 ep instead of 100+).

Acting: Well, as in every drama there are characters you like and others you hate but what matters is that ALL of them did a great job. As for me I loved Kim Mi Sook's character the most she was the mother that any girl would want(unlike other K drama mothers she was 100% supportive to her daughter and does everything she could to protect her) When Lee So Yeon is harassed Kim Mi Sook as her mother would always run out and stand up for her daughter she's the one whon eases your anger on the evil things that are happening. The characters I hated the most is Lee Hwi Hyang's and her son (they were extremely annoying) and the things that Lee Hwi Hyang does PISSES you off (she's been doing such characters all her life yet she never fails to piss me off).

Music: I don't think I liked the music cus if I did I would've remembered them but I don't so I gave it 5/10.

Rewatch: I don't rewacth dramas and even for ppl who do rewatch dramas I don't think this is a drama that can be rewatched (It's a one time drama).

Overall: I enjoyed this drama very much and it was definitely worth the wait and worth the time. For those of you who love family dramas I really recommend My Love By My side (pls don't let the No. of ep put you off). This is definitely not a waste of time if you can spare the time then watch it (especially if you’re looking for something to keep you busy while waiting for another drama) then this is your answer).

Almost there....

Suk Bin's mother wasn't punished enough for being less than a subhuman junky nor did Suk Bin himself. Both the female lead and her mother were absolute doormat characters, letting everyone have their way with them and completely surrender passively without even attempting to bite back. Completely infuriating to watch this behavior for 50 episodes. Even at the moment of the reveals if it weren't for the other characters acting on their behalf nothing would have been accomplished. Many characters were introduced but were never done anything with or even appear more than few times like Suk Bin's sister. The leads relationship had a decent attention and screen time in the first half but they were completely neglected in the second half. The drama also needed more characters and stories. The only independent side story was the FL's uncle which sucked anyway. It's safe to assume that the writing was very problematic when it comes to its characters.

It seems to be the writer completely forgot about the pink notebook.
