This series has always been a memorable one, particularly the beginning of the story where it starts with the father. His character was heartwarming, intriguing, and inspiring. While some series revolve around one main revenge arc, this one takes you on a ride through multiple injustices which keeps the overall theme less repetitive. It has everything you'd want in a well-rounded plot when it comes to politics, underdogs, vengeance, romance, and a dab of the supernatural. All with a bit of a Robin Hood undertone.

What really makes this one great however, is how all the actors do a fantastic job in their roles and the chemistry between them is what will trigger emotions. Character developments were also on point. They do a decent job with showing empathy for both sides as well as the hypocrisy of those who only know how to feel sorry for themselves, cry victim when they get a taste of their own medicine, and those who cry about life but do nothing except to hope others will take care of it for them.

The only flaw that is difficult to describe is that while the story itself flowed well, the actual transitions felt blotchy at times so it didn't feel natural. This also impacted the romance aspect which wasn't that impressive to me personally but Lee Ha Nee is still one of my favorite actresses. This is why I labeled the review as straightforward. Even though they tried to keep the viewers in suspense at times, it doesn't require much thought process and there's no deeper meaning to have to uncover. You just kick back and enjoy the ride.
