This is my first time ever in my whole 15 years experience watching kdrama; in the end of the drama I casually and with no regret say, "I don't respect the first female-male lead character!".At first I like to watch this drama because its plot was 80-90% just the same with My Name is Kim Sam Soon (2005). That drama get Daesang at Baeksang Award and MBC Daesang for Kim Sun Ah (female lead). I kind of reviving again my memory when watching this drama. Same big framework and plot but different detail.
But I started to get irritated when there were many weird things happened...First of all, character twists(?) and unfortunately the worst one came to the first lead cast, both male and female. I started to question: "Does her character all this time actually was just a childish-impulsive-destructive-selfish-disrespectfully toward parent-victim mentality-no self-respect woman?" Until the end there is no asking- forgiveness-thing from GOHY to her mom. I am so so disappointed at her character. And also the everlasting fickle-wishy-washy kind first male lead. Giving no certainty not even after GOHY mother speak out her concerns.
For me, the best character in this drama is GOHY mother (I am quite sure most of the viewer agree with me)..and the second one goes to Isadora - Jinsung couple (this might be optional but I think many of them also agree with me) ^_^v well cast ranking end on second place..since if I carry on I might spill out some spoilers v^_^v
Anyway, not just about first lead's character, the story was too draggy and pleonastic. So many unnecessary scenes were put in. And lastly, even though this drama has a happy ending the process on to that end was too lousy. If this is a before-2010 drama I might understand and receive it as a lack of experience or knowledge or technology on how to create it as real as possible. But today is 2016..where has they're been for this time..even if they are just a debut prod.crew...(@_@)
I still put a quite high score for the acting/cast because imho there is not much complains about the cast's acting..lead-supporting-or cameo..even though some might have lack in here and there. No low soundtrack rating too because even though this drama follows the adding-funny-sound trend but the song track were good. For me this mess happened because of the awful script developing and directing =/ .

This is a light black-satire drama for me. Talking about how injustice has infiltrate the justice system. Talking about establishing the justice and defending the righteousness.
Simple idea converted into a great performance. The cast's acting are great, the cases are interesting too. It turns out that some of them are really happening in reality. A great drama with minimum love-story. I have mistaken couple times in guessing the story line.
One little minus point perhaps about cast plot that haven't been considered well. Kim Dong Jung role and character. His role is kind of useless and there are no progress on his character too.

This is a very funny refreshing short drama. When I watch it I recalled the "Mamma Mia" movie for the same feeling it's given but different accentuation. While Mamma Mia speaks from the daughter's side, Baek Hee speaks from the mother's side. Comical acting, bright colors costume, and ocean view, as it tells about Baek Hee return to her home town in a small island outside the mainland, gives a refreshing feeling when watching this drama.
Tells about Baek Hee who has to face her wretched-humiliating-unclear past when she comebacks to her hometown with her husband and a daughter. All the people that used to attached to her try to rebuilt the relationship they had before. Three of them are men who used to be closed to her suspected that they are the real father to Baek Hee's daughter. The story becomes funny when Baek Hee, with helps from her friends, try to straighten the problems include finding the truth about the scandal video that made her runaway before.
I felt this story is being finished hastily. Kind of regret seeing jin ji hee's character as Baek Hee's daughter were not being explored more..but that's okay. It doesn't changed the main story anyway.
The story about old gang reunited, loyalty,trust and teamwork among peers..Even though it just a simple plot drama, because it plotted very neat and supported by a good acting from the majority of the casts it becomes recommendable as a funny refreshing short drama to watch among all kdrama.
