Fun melodrama that completely loses momentum . . .

The first episodes are full of family drama, injustice to be corrected, a fearless heroine, and romantic tension. . . then the whole show stagnates and limps along. Why am I still watching this? I kept asking myself.

Hot/cold opposite attracts couples require great chemistry and the chemistry here is only so so . Oh Mi-joo while hot tempered, brash and spontaneous is tempered by the drive to be self-sufficient. Seo Dan-ah while arrogant and cold, also has a tendency to be oblivious and not understand human dynamics in a silly, charming way. The male characters in comparison do not stand out, Ki Seon-gyeom's open-eyed confusion gets old and Lee Yeong-hwa's sensitivity is played for laughs.

The wealthy parents are narcissistic and overbearing as is typical.

Music didn't register, I wouldn't rewatch. The speed and cliffhangers of the first five episodes was refreshing, as were some of the mild taboo elements - not at all as artistic and slow as I thought from the publicity. But as the show went on . . . it was hard not to notice that this was just a higher budget standard drama with the same age old plots.
