**Bullied victim's revenge that falls flat because of the weak "adult bullies"**
Acting was was ok for all of the actors, specially Song Hye Kyo and the young cast. But I don't know if it's the writing, directing, or maybe the adult casts' decision, but adult Yeon Jin and Jae Joon were complete misses. With the level of evilness of those people you'd expect them to turn out like fake, manipulative Seong-hye of One the Woman, and psycho Tae-goo of Voice -- but they didn't. *eye roll*

**Evil Queen B turned weak ass news anchor**
Young Yeon Jin was portrayed as a strong, evil, b***h that likes to manipulate people around her but is not averse to getting blood on her hands. She isn't lose and doesn't immediately use her body to get what she wants -- that's Hye Jeong's thing. She was also usually classy and rarely showed her craziness -- that's Sa Ra's thing. But the adult Yeon Jin seemed to forgot her youth and combined Hye Jeong's and Sa Ra's thing. What happened to her sting? To her strength due to growing up getting everything she wants?

**Mysterious, silent evil dude turned short tempered G*g*lo**
Jae Joon was also another big miss because he was the silent enabler of the group with his hidden vileness. But somehow he turned into a sorry example of gangster, wannabe, lovelorn rich guy. It was like the writer rubbed off some of Myeong Oh's horniness on him. Also, I felt like Do Young looked more like adult Jae Joon than adult Jae Joon himself. Do Young knows he's rich and powerful, silent, mysterious, but hides a ruthlessness inside his calm façade.

I was so miffed by how weak and shallow adult Yeon Jin and Jae Joon were that I continuously irritated when the show made it seem like Dong Eun was doing something so difficult when Yeon Jin and Jae Joon can barely fight her. Even basic Kdrama logic, the rich villains, would have countless of henchmen and 1 competent side kick from the get go and it makes them seem bigger than life which is why whenever the protagonists best them we feel a sense of accomplishment. But with Yeon Jin and Jae Joon it was like Dong Eun was playing with her food. I also think they just want to make the show edgier by adding s*x so they delegated those scenes to the supporting actors (Im Ji Yeon and Park Sung Hoon). I think SHK would ask for way more if she was asked to do that.

So disappointed with the wasted potential. Not really looking forward for S2 because the antagonists are weak. Maybe I'll watch it for the adorable chemistry between Dong Eun and Hyun Nam, and how Dong Eun will use Yeo Jung and Do Young.
