This drama is surprisingly well written for a full sized makjang drama. It has all the classic tropes BUT THE ACTING ELEVATES IT.
Most of the time i would expect some actor to lack in a long running drama which tends to lower the quality but the acting really brought it all together.
Hats off to Lee Hwi-Hyang the actress playing Tae Min's mom, she was so thoroughly evil that even when her back story was revealed there was no empathy to be felt for her. Go joo won was also a very convincing male lead that we all just wanted to root for.
I have to say the last 10 episodes delivered so many plot twists that i was wondering if the writers had extended the number of episodes airing.

Pros:
- proper character development for some of the characters (not all)
- entertaining watch. while some scenes are so skippable the over all watch worthy or on the edge of your seat factor is there.
- self aware characters. i like these characters much more than dumb and ignorant and thank fully there was presence of maturity in all characters
- Lee Pi Lip , his acting was probably better than his sisters lol, but it could also be because she was a convincing narcissist that i like pilip better

Cons:
- I didn't see the character development from some of the main characters that i wanted to witness.
- episode 46-51 was a weird wrap for me

CON 1.
Hyo Sungs Wife. This woman is such a give and take type of being. only after realizing that her mother in law is about to have a chaebol son in law did she START paying attention her or even respecting her.
MI RIM > over this B, i dont even wanna know her name

CON2.
I do not understand how in episode 48 Tae Ho became the such a red flag, while being a consistent green flag.
after Tae ho finds out about a very tragic fact behind his parent's death he doesnt explain anything to Hyo Shim and only says we need to put off us getting married, I am going through something and need space. Hyo Shim was disappointment but NEVER said no, she said thats fine, was supportive and gave him his space and time. AT THIS POINT Hyo shims mom was willing to get the two married...
Skip to ep 48 after some things unfolded hyo shims mom was not willing to let the two get amrried but finally gave in in episode 47 and tae ho was in a rush to get married. Hyo shim finds out something about her dad and tells tae ho she needs time and needs to put off the wedding. what does Tae Ho do? THROWS A TANTRUM. Do you even love me ? why are we together? suggested infidelity, and even planned to leave the country..... man gaslit her out of this world... HYO SHIM was still too good for this loser.

CON 3.
HYO SHIM my girl went through a life changing transformation and a fight to gain independence only to make more sacrifices of giving her liver at the end SMH...

CON 4.
The ending. all i saw was that a good daughter who knows how to sacrifice will sacrifice everything till the end, and let everyone gas light her... sadness
