If you're looking for a pure makjang with literally everything (secret birth, murder, rich-poor, hateful in-laws...) this is the drama for you!
STORY
It starts very well and finishes being only a succession of clichés. As a spectator, you keep asking yourself "Wow, If you react like this now, what will happen when the real drama comes?" and this is the real problem. Everything is out of proportion from the beginning, especially the in-laws' rejection of DoRan. So it's basically a drama in which for 102 episodes the reactions are always the same, no character development for anyone, except maybe the stepmother.
ACTING/CAST
As said, no character development so it's very difficult to really grow attached to them. DaeRyuk starts very strong but is just an empty shell, very pitiful from ep.50. The actors do a good job but no one is very memorable except for the duo Choi Soo Jung (Driver Kim) & Jin Kyung (queeeeen). Park Sung Hoon also steals the light, loved how sincere and just very humble his character was.
Overall, if you are looking for a makjang where you'll hate the villains and feel pity for the good ones, this is for you.
