Oufff. This one is a hard one to rate for me. I really loved the secondary couple, I didn't care for the third couple, and I lost interest for the first couple.
The first couple: They were cute at first and while I am usually not a huge fan of Noona-Romance, I did enjoy this one. At first. Later, there was too much drama and back and forth. I wish they would have either gone smooth sailing or had a proper drama (à la old drama style). I also did not like the last episode for them. Quite unnecessary IMO.
The secondary couple: I enjoyed watching them. From hate to an understanding of some sorts to companionship. They had their weaknesses as well, but I preferred this couple over the others. Their aesthetics were no joke either.
The third couple: They were painful to watch. Not because of the polygamy (though, I think that part wasn't portrayed well) but because of how they interacted and how Mr. Yun let his side chick talk to Hui Seong.
I did enjoy the setting and the background stories of fostering children and being rich but emotionally abused by his parents. They each had their package and had to learn to live with it. I also liked the murder plot. Usually, I find randomly putting a thriller aspect in rom and rom aspecs in thrillers unnecessary. But in this drama, it actually matched well.
I only rated this a 7.5/10, but I can still recommend this. Just don't expect too much.
