You will need to both love the cast and Hate to Love to love this show
Some would say that the definition of insanity is repeating the same mistake over and over again and expecting a different result, so by this definition the mother in this drama is indeed insane, and to be honest that may not be the only reason for the audience to come to that conclusion.
As this is the story of the mother who wanted to make up for lost time by controlling her grown up kids and how every single attempt at that pretty much backfired. The boys are lovely to watch, not really boyfriend material and have indeed been deeply traumatised by their very rich on money but poor on love childhood. However I do not think I would call them gentle except for maybe they youngest bro. That said I loved them all. As for their points of rebellion/love interests I would say the first one was sweet the second not really my type and the third had a lovely character but was not very well performed.
One thing you may want to know going in to this is that this drama is very much a drama that can easily be split in to 3 more or less completely detached parts. One for each bro with a so called special at the end, so if you find yourself thinking hey this couple is not my cup of coffee you could actually just skip it and move on to the next.
This is also a drama packed with the hate to love trope as well as a bunch of well known and love drama cliches such as the oh so beloved co habitation, misunderstandings, ex comes back, poor woman rich man, power relations etc... There are also a bunch of sweet friendships, backstabbers, cheaters and women who hate women... As well as a how of society double standards towards women showing us yet again how women get blamed for pretty much everything if they show the slightest interest in pleasuring her body... While a male can be a serial cheater but still be viewed as the victim of seduction.
Was it good? no not really... Was it bad no not really? But The boys may not be gentle but they are indeed a pleasure to watch so while I may have wanted to give the plot a 6 9/10 of the cast made me smile whenever they appeared on screen making it worth my precious time. So if you are unfamiliar with the actors and do not like the first episode I advise you to drop this as most of what makes this drama worth your time is the feeling you get from watching the cast and not so much the plot...
