The many reasons why this drama is my top favorite:
1 - Grandma/Chairman's values and principles - I've always dreamed of having position and wealth to make a difference in my own way - the drama showed me how it's like when you build something out of genuine dream which can touch people's lives - how meaningful it is to be in a position where your voice can be heard and trusted - and that you use this opportunity to influence and inspire people. It shows how powerful gratitude is an how every single thing done for someone in need regardless of how big or small it is can make a difference. I love how grandma knows how valuable and useless money is at the same time. Coming from rags to riches - money did not overpower her- rather she used and viewed money properly. Her story is a proof that the path to greatness does not have to be lonely nor greedy - she took the path where she helps people to climb so when she reached the top she was not alone. I too would love to reach the top not for people to look up or bow to me - but to be able to pull someone up whenever I can.
2- Love story - Being married for years now - when I recall love stages my favorite is always the initial stage where you notice changes from your whole system and it naturally manifest without your control - which Hwan has shown effectively in the drama. I'm not a fan of instant crazily in love plots - this drama sure did satisfy me on showing how the love story started and progressed. I agree with the qualities of Eun Sung being attractive - I love how she expressed her intentions especially she knows when to speak and keep quite which is an important aspect every woman should know. I love how genuine the process the have undergone to in getting to know each other - the circumstances have given them both to see clearly how they complement each other and how trust is built between them without the need for words.
3 -Eun Sung up bringing. Coming from a rich family she managed to build a sense of responsibility and gave importance to family and relationships. She cries when she has to - smile when she can - stand up no matter what and never ever entertained the though that she is pityful - she never pitied herself after losing both her parents and brother on top of that being broke. I think this is the result of knowing that you are loved. 100 people may hate you but this can not erase the love you get from a single person - and this single truth alone can keep you going and keep you away from all insecurities.
4. Eun Eu (Piano) adding his character in this drama makes it extra special - he makes anyone next to him shine even brighter - his honesty and innocence brings out the softness from the people he mingles with. He had instant chemistry with his 2 noonas, step mom, hwan and so on. The piano piece "longing for Noona" perfectly blends with all of this.
5. The plot and script are just how I wanted to see and hear- met all my expectation. Brought me satisfying emotions.All dots connected and consistent. Each characters did how they are supposed to based on the story and said the exact lines at the right time every time with brilliant acting and great OST in the background.
6. Secondary casts - they all did a great job in each of their roles. Seun Mi and her mom both are gorgeous and acted well.
7. The choice of setting : 1. That main leads stayed in the same house and 2. in the same company - without overdoing the plot and not overly cheesy encounters.
8. That Lee Seun Gi starred in it :) this is such a HUGE bonus to this already beautiful drama.
(I have watched this drama twice - 2nd just recently in netflix and everytime I finish 28 episodes in 2 days )
