It seems to be a nice drama and interesting. Although the scenario is quite familiar to me (I've watched something similar before) it still captured my interest. I don't understand why it's so underrated. The main cast is good. I really wanna see what Sabina is going to do at the end with her child but most importantly how did her mother switch her with the real Eun Dong Joo . The plot is is progressing quick which is very good unlike most dramas where they try to postpone it as much as possible. Was this review helpful to you?
Uneven but good enough
This was at its best when it was soapy and silly. The two villains were great and I had fun with just how hard they went with orphan angst/birth secret drama. When the show was at its most overheated and ridiculous it really was a treat. When the show tried to be earnest and heartfelt I found it to be less successful. The main love line was totally unconvincing and while I can't deny how cute the young actors were the found family scenes with them just felt like filler to me.Was this review helpful to you?
Barely watchable
The drama main goal was to hit as many makjang tropes as possible even repeating some of them across multiple characters. Almost every single character has a hidden past/birth secret, even the support characters. The revenge was bad, there wasn't actually a revenge. The romance/relationship of the leads was as childish as you can imagine. The actress Jung Young Joo who played the mother as the main antagonist did a truly awful job. Her reactions/interactions were laughably bad. The four leads' performance was fine but nothing note worthy, they've done better elsewhere. There's nothing appealing about the story either since they don't even try. Also, I didn't like the ending or the entire last episode in general.Was this review helpful to you?
This review is to talk about the misleading synopsis of the show.
Overall, I dig this kind of makjang dramas. I often watch such storylines because drama is entertaining to me. However, 25ish episodes in and I don’t agree with the synopsis shown on the shows page on mdl. This review doesn’t contain spoilers per say, just want to talk about it in general.1. How do you try to steal something that was never yours? The synopsis says that FL tries to claim her stolen life back. Well, it’s not stolen if it was never yours. So far into the show, it’s shown that she was abandoned by her mom. But the life the “sister” is living wasn’t FL’s. The mom and her daughter are poor too and they seem to plot to get into a rich household by marrying the rich man. How is this supposed to the life of FL’s? The second thing is, you would want the character to have a realistic nature. Considering the FL is about 34. How do you make her act like she’s in high school? She believes she wasn’t abandoned and is optimistic that she was separated from her mother. I mean, that’s like high school orphan tendencies. How are you so desperate and happy to find clues about your said mom when she has never tried to look for her? Hello? There are police reports!
2. The ML is said to be a ladies man. But he isn’t. There’s not a single female in show that’s chasing the ML. If he was that there would be bunch of girls fangirling over him. But there are none. Also the synopsis says that he has a wealthy grandmother. Well, just now in the recent episode they hinted that she is actually wealthy. But so far, she was just seen running one restaurant. I thought that they are trying to portray her as a modest woman who lives normally. But later I started believing that they aren’t really wealthy. I actually like the ML’s character, he’s funny and cute.
3. Take this review with a grain of salt, I am just talking about certain things that felt off to me within 25 episodes of watching. I might be wrong by the end. Overall, the show is nice. You will have some blood boiling moments. I just hope that there’s some character development in the FL. She needs to be stronger not be so freaking naive and unrealistically positive at the age of 34. Like, come on!

First of all I was delaying this drama for too long because of the no. of episodes But I was really wrong
I'm happy I finally watched
It was really very nice
The story was smooth and captures your attention
The events were fast which for the first time I have to say the end was needed more episodes at least 2 more
The plot was strong
I hated that the 2nd male lead was too good for that B****
But sometimes I felt sorry for her she was a victim for her mother
But I hated her character a lot more than the mother
What I dislike about this drama were 3 things
1st : the romance of the main couple was so light
Don't misunderstand me it was very nice
But the drama was about conspiracy more
So the romance scenes between the main two couple was few
It was kind of mature romance which shows love in different ways not only hugs and kisses
2nd: the end was toooooooo rush
After all what shin nam sook have done I had the right to see her suffer
And what happened to her
She spoiled everybody's life even her daughter
So the end wasn't satisfied to be just a scene less than few seconds that she got jailed then lost her mind and died
This stupid time jump 3yrs without any explanations
They Just got through everything in a rush way just to end the drama in anyway
3rd: I was hoping they would give the 3rd couple more scenes I loved them too much
But really it was amazing drama I loved it
Recommended for those who love conspiracy and loved mature romance and family dramas

I like how ML and FL are looking real humans
there are some plot holes that can be justifiedSabina is 28 year old so she was 16year old 12 year ago when she left her husband and child
Korean age system Convert into English age system she was just 15 year old and
14 year old when she get impregnated by that TAXI driver( Statuary rape) and then forced into give birth because and raising those child into a forced marriage,,
so what SML did to her ex husband was RIGHT THING, he saved her from her rapist
Sabina's mother has ultimate RAM in her head that she can remember every single detail and faces from 28 year ago
almost 3 decides, that just impossible for even Einstein that he remember ever single detail from 3 decides ( about HAN SO MIN )
Male lead is not easy nor he is cold jerk he is human who start having feeling for FL little by little
he sometime say mean thing he and regret and try to become better...
