“I'm not a human, I'm a mother.” If a Kdrama wants to focus on marriage they will focus on marriage. Mostly the bad and the ugly it seems, in this drama. Fake marriages, arranged marriages, adultery, marriages of convenience, divorces, what marriage does to a family what marriage doesn’t do to a family, etc. This is definitely not your stereotypical romance. This is story. And it's unpredictable. And characters' motivations make sense. The first ¾ of the drama were pretty good but then it really got into ridiculous, drawn-out territory. The last couple of episodes, you just want to die. But things get interesting between the secondary character couples two episodes from the end, so watch for that to get you through. This drama is kind of shocking with how relationships form and fall apart and form. It's a real whirlwind. And it makes me feel quite confused at how I view the characters. The show also shows how motherhood can be all consuming. Cha Ki Young is such a normal person when she doesn't have a child. The drama also pokes fun at the strangeness of dysfunctional families. Ki Young – female lead I really love how straight forward she is. And how honest and vulnerable she allows herself to be without being shy about the way she feels. She owns her personality. And I have not seen a woman like her so unmoved. She has a great control on her emotions. It was interesting seeing her not exactly becoming motherly to her co-host, but how she understood him more and didn't look at him with such disdain. I really loved that the heroine completely owns the show. She makes her decisions, she faces down her adversaries and she solves her own problems. Until the end, then things get a bit finicky. I feel like Ki Young really is the best when it comes to being unfazed by personal attacks. She is so cool. Small Rant about Sex in Kdramas Why can't we get sexy scenes from people we actually care about? It's like Korean dramas just won't give us that mind blowing stuff when we want to see it. Tae Yun “Hey! You crazy pregnant woman! Take the elevator!” He is not the greatest guy. But he's just kind of ridiculous and you don't always get that kind of Kdrama man who really is good for nothing. He's a guy who doesn't have all the answers. He reacts before he thinks and he makes a ton of mistakes. He doesn't know what he's doing but he tries. I actually warmed up to Tae Yun by episode 3. I didn't expect him to man up, not for a long time. I was impressed for a while. But then he went back to his temper tantrums and his cluelessness about life. Tae Yun's sister's storyline with her fake husband was a lot of fun. I like that she's jumpy when she gets a sudden approach from guys. Pedro's storyline was actually pretty good. I found him and the sister to be so cute. Eun Cha As per usual, Kdramas throw us some crazy characters to deal with and Eun Cha is one of the wildest. He's a pervert but he's also kind of funny. I was shocked at how my perspective of him changed and how he himself changed even while keeping his sexism. Myung Yi Despite her scheming, she does get a bit of the short end of the stick. Tae Yun is such a brat with her. It was interesting how she started off as a somewhat innocent kid and then turned into one of those high society women. I also found her relationship with Tae Yun to be a little scary but also fascinating. I kind of liked her poise and how she knew her rights. She'd go through hell for what she wanted. And she was so heartless with everything, but she had her weaknesses. In the end, she was the one person Tae Yun could be honest with. Yun Hee – best friend “I picked a cool man because you were so patriarchal. But I think a cool man is more difficult.” I ended up really loving Yun Hee and her husband and their dramas haha.
