You Are The Best!

This for me was yet another failed attempt at watching another weekend drama. I can appreciate a good family melodrama but honestly, I was expecting it to be more of a romantic comedy. Or at least I was expecting the romance aspect of this drama to be written better and not feel so much like an awkward friendship.

I do appreciate dramas that revolve around women and how they deal with Korean socio-cultural issues. How to fit and navigate this ever-changing society being a single divorced mother or fighting to keep your career and your marriage. I especially loved to see Soon Shin's progression in achieving her goals and progressing as an actress while at the same time unraveling her family secret. I feel that the show should have put a bit more emphasis on her and her development and less on crazy mothers and their drama. The acting wasn't bad, but I do feel the characters lacked any sort of growth. Many characters were terribly selfish and felt justified in their actions from beginning to end.

Even though this drama had plenty of potential and interesting characters, it ultimately failed to deliver in my opinion.
