Show full of cliches
The male lead looked like he was really attracted to the actress but she looked disgusted by him ? she was cringing half of the show.I watched all the episodes and hated how they gave this cliché of "the woman should only be pretty, serve her husband and shut up"
I hated how they made being pretty the whole personality of the female lead
It was also way too long. The only positive note is the life of the giseang and their colorful costumes and cute Andre
Don't waste your time on this please!

Seo Eun pyeong (38yo)

He is the only one aware of sun bin / Rael's past, he becomes her guardian angel and risk his own life to help her achieve her revenge.
The good:
Seo yeji's acting: that woman can definitely act ! She convoys her emotions incredibly...no matter what other people say about her, yeji is a great actress and a very talented one!
The duo sora/ Rael was just mind blowing, they pushed and pulled thorought the show and made it their own
Each episode keeps you on edge ! You can't stop watching, wanting more and more ...this show will surprise you in so many ways.
The cast: the four main lead are amazing in their own, each character added to the show a beautiful touch.
The reference to the Greek mythology
The fashion !!! This show is a true fashion show
The bad:
The pace in this drama is pretty slow, the revenge element happens at the end of the show
The characters lack depth, a part from sunbin/rael no character has a real backstory so it's difficult to connect with them throughout the show ( ex: So ra has a compulsive disorder but we don't know much about it, we only know that her father used to physically abuse her, we're supposed to understand her constant anger and rage but we don't have any backbone to it)
Almost no chemistry between the two main characters: the chairman is madly in love with sunbin/ Rael but we as viewers don't feel it .. it comes a cross as weird stares and creepy behavior from Kang gyeom
The makeup of seo yeji, it sounds weird talking about the makeup in a review but please watch for yourself!
The messy scenario and plot holes, the writers have missed so many stuff that sometimes it's hard to follow ( ex: where is sora and Kang gyeom's first daughter? )
The ending! What a waste !! Bad ending, rushed ..
This might be good to some but I didn't enjoy the sex scenes honestly not my thing
Do I recommend it ? Absolutely! If you look for a melodramatic soapy show this the right one for you...please be prepared for a turbulent ride.
