Of all the unlikeable characters in this drama, the most detestable one is Ingjan’s aunt. She not only drugs her own niece to be married and raped by a man old enough to be her grandfather for money, but continues to do objectionable and questionable things: forging her niece’s signature to get money, remaining friends with the old man who almost raped her niece, continuing to get hoodwinked and scammed, laughing at others’ misfortunes. This woman should not be trusted as anyone’s elder or to run a company, a company that she essentially mismanaged and bankrupted.

This drama is a wild ride with an interesting and unexpected twist. Sichon and Ingjan meets and falls in love a few years prior in Tuscany. Due to a car accident, Ingjan loses her sight temporarily, so she doesn’t know what Sichon looks like. When she regains her sight, she’s tricked into believing that a married man is Sichon. And Sichon is also tricked into thinking that Ingjan has discovered his plebeian background (being a maid’s son) and rejects him because of it since she’s a descendant of Thai royalty. Sichon becomes angry and bitter. When he runs into Ingjan again, and of course she doesn’t recognize him, he takes the opportunity to propose a one-year marriage in exchange for his bailing out her family’s financial trouble. He wants this one-year to essentially torture her and treat her like a servant/worker on his vineyard. Along the way they fall in love, but of course, their past misunderstanding rears its ugly head and this misunderstanding is further helped by the one person close to both (the twist in the drama!). The many problems face by the main couple only help draw them closer together, but there are love, family, and business rivals who are intent on destroying and separating the two lovebirds.

Although there are too many flashbacks and unnecessary scenes, the drama is quite enjoyable to watch, mainly due to the fiery chemistry between the two leads with lots of skinship and real kisses. Some may say that the villain, who promulgated the original misunderstanding and continues the farce, too easily receives forgiveness. I think the writer wants to address this character’s mental/psychological breakdown due to family and societal rejection. Another social issue that cropped up towards the end is revenge porn, and how it generates such fear and self-loathing on the victim’s side. So, I do appreciate the writer’s attempt to address these social issues in a drama. The ending is satisfying in that the main and secondary couples have their happily ever after, and the villains are punished with prison or worse.
