Despite hating Joy's acting, I had high expectations for this drama since I've seen Woo Do Hwan in some of his dramas like Save Me and Mad Dog. But in here, even though his acting was superb, the story itself was a disappointment. It was very tiring to watch each episode as the drama progresses. I thought maybe it could get better in the ending but still, even the ending disappointed me. I felt like it was rushed and it just wanted to give us a happy ending for both sides. Also, what happened to Hye Jeong? To Tae Hee's friend? Did Ki Young got punished? I have so many questions in mind that I can't put them all in here. But then again, it might be the director's choice to have an open ending for them.

When it comes to their acting, Joy really gave her best to convey the emotions Eun Tae Hee had throughout her journey in this drama. Although there are times where I really can't absorb her acting since her eyes doesn't have any emotions at all. It seemed like she's always mad when she's not supposed to. But to give her a credit, her acting improved somehow since The Liar and His Lover. She should be careful in choosing projects next time. Maybe she can follow Krystal's steps by taking support roles first to improve her acting more. There's nothing wrong in being a supporting role.

For Kim Min Jae, I felt sad a little because his previous dramas were amazing. He shined in there but in here, it felt like he was done dirty. He was like "cleaner" of the mess which he pointed out in the drama. They could've given him more because he has so much talent but I guess I can't judge what the Director is thinking. For Moon Ga Young, after seeing her in her previous dramas like Jealousy Incarnate, she really shone in here. Her acting improved as well although her character was a little bit annoying though she's my favorite one.

I guess the PR for this drama was just overwhelming that I had so much expectations for this that it disappointed me.
