Captivating
Wow, what can I say? It's finally over. This show was very interesting to watch without too many over-the-top theatrics. I liked how everything tied in together in the end.Things I wish would have happened/my only complaints (minor spoilers):
1. Development of YJJ and CSE's relationship. We got a lot of flashbacks but I still feel like more could have been done for the audience to grasp what led YJJ to want CSE back after he got divorced. Additionally, it would have been nice to have had more than 1 episode focused on them. They start getting closer and she becomes vulnerable and then bam, something happens towards the end of the episode that leads her to distrust him. Though the distrust is brief it is still unsatisfying.
2. The husband's obsession. It's not fully explained why he is so insistent on staying married to CSE. We can make assumptions based on what is seen so far but I somehow wish that was explained further. It did need a lot of episodes but just even a flashback maybe or something that shows what exactly it is he's clinging to. Is it her prestige and the benefits of being her husband alone, or does she have some hidden wealth or is it a combination of that and some lingering feelings? I feel like we the audience are left speculating.
Aside from that, I think everything was well done. I won't say anything else because it will lead to major spoilers but if you are debating watching this, I think you should give it a go. It's great with a great, strong, and complex female lead.

It's Fine.
It has a lot of the classic kdrama tropes I love but the storytelling is uninspired. Even the first episode didn't pull me in. I find myself only caring about the FL and her love for music. All the other subplots could be interesting but they're done in such a boring,ABC kind of way. I can walk away to make a cup of coffee and come back without missing anything important. I know I'm going to forget about this show in like a month or so.I'm mostly watching it for the music and orchestra scenes. It's nice to watch while waiting for other kdramas to debut.

loved this series to tiny pieces
the simplest way to describe this drama is that it's something between makjang and melodrama. unlike similar dramas, all characters had a purpose. although some of them managed to make my blood boil (cough cough FL's husband), the leads kept me enough hooked until the final moments of the series. the acting was flawless and raw, but what else to expect from such a skillful cast?Was this review helpful to you?
For Me it's 10/10 ♡‿♡
Lee Young Ae Unnieas expected she never disappoints,Such a Queen . I really waited for her to return to the kdrama world, when I found out that she will have another drama, I really waited for it HAHHAHA
I finished watching, so all I can say is that for me this is my cup of tea drama ( although I like all the genre but this one is Wow, ♡ ♡Amazing ♡ ♡, and I also enjoyed its Ost because for me it fits the whole vibe of the drama.
maybe it won't have a season 2, I'm satisfied with the ending, so I'll just rewatch it HAHAH

Disappointing
I expected this drama to be as good as "secret",but after 2 eps all excitement vanished. There was not enough thrill in script to keep me tied to screen. ML was not enough engaging for me at all ,i couldn't continue just for sake for FL(as i am a female watcher)such dramas though they give you dark and deep emotional entanglement, they should be engaging enough for average water like meWas this review helpful to you?

Its fine for FL to have affair but not her husband
Fl is working with her ex lover and hiding it from her husband but its all rightBut husband having a affair is biggest problem of the drama
Her music is most important and her gangster lover.
Drama focus on self centered femlae lead to make her look strong independent but all in this she will end up becoming a parasite for gangster lover to feed her..
Her lover and her husband both blackmail her but she goes her lover because him blackmail her is love.
But her husband is criminal
Nobody is seeing her and her lover together ?
Everyone is one her side and its fine for her she is openly having an affair and its fine
What kind of nonsense story is so one sided
He husbyis awful person but her lover is more of gangster and she is crazy herself
