Acting: I especially enjoyed the convincing performance of Kang Yul/Jung Woo Hyeok. He did a standout job, from showing his unwavering love to Shin JuKyeong and rising up as an actor and business manager, I thouroughly enjoyed his performance. The new male lead (Shi Kang) also did a great job based on how viewers were so eager for the revenge against him to happen, he was truly a convincing villain!! Of course, I cannot fail to mention Jacqueline Taylor (Son Sang Yoon) -- she had excellent character development and it was interesting to see her totally transform bit by bit through the show. She is an actress with plenty of impressive range and dynamic facial expressions and reactions. She was convincing as both a "villain" and a "hero" in her own ways. I look forward to seeing more excellent work from these 3 actors.


Story: I thoroughly enjoyed this typical web of revenge plots and subplots. It has everything you would expect from a nice juicy makjang - revenge, hidden identity, true romance, false romance, strong family ties, monopoly by conglomerates and destructive greed.Of course, it's a Makjang so people may be frustrated here and there. But there was also plenty of humour added in when necessary (Oh NaHui's romance lol), lighthearted family moments and sweet genuine romance (shoutout to Kang Yul/Jung Woo Hyeok).

All in all, I loved this and it is full of life lessons, which is something I always take away from Makjangs, which is why I love them.
