This review is to talk about the misleading synopsis of the show.
Overall, I dig this kind of makjang dramas. I often watch such storylines because drama is entertaining to me. However, 25ish episodes in and I don’t agree with the synopsis shown on the shows page on mdl. This review doesn’t contain spoilers per say, just want to talk about it in general.
1. How do you try to steal something that was never yours? The synopsis says that FL tries to claim her stolen life back. Well, it’s not stolen if it was never yours. So far into the show, it’s shown that she was abandoned by her mom. But the life the “sister” is living wasn’t FL’s. The mom and her daughter are poor too and they seem to plot to get into a rich household by marrying the rich man. How is this supposed to the life of FL’s? The second thing is, you would want the character to have a realistic nature. Considering the FL is about 34. How do you make her act like she’s in high school? She believes she wasn’t abandoned and is optimistic that she was separated from her mother. I mean, that’s like high school orphan tendencies. How are you so desperate and happy to find clues about your said mom when she has never tried to look for her? Hello? There are police reports!
2. The ML is said to be a ladies man. But he isn’t. There’s not a single female in show that’s chasing the ML. If he was that there would be bunch of girls fangirling over him. But there are none. Also the synopsis says that he has a wealthy grandmother. Well, just now in the recent episode they hinted that she is actually wealthy. But so far, she was just seen running one restaurant. I thought that they are trying to portray her as a modest woman who lives normally. But later I started believing that they aren’t really wealthy. I actually like the ML’s character, he’s funny and cute.
3. Take this review with a grain of salt, I am just talking about certain things that felt off to me within 25 episodes of watching. I might be wrong by the end. Overall, the show is nice. You will have some blood boiling moments. I just hope that there’s some character development in the FL. She needs to be stronger not be so freaking naive and unrealistically positive at the age of 34. Like, come on!
