It was alright. (Contains a few spoilers)
At first this drama had me completely hooked. Let’s say the first 10 episodes were extremely well done and I litererally couldn’t wait for the next episodes but then it just kind of went downhill.
The story is different, but of course, like in so many dramas we all know who JinHee will end up with and yes, there was the always occuring love triangle again. Yay. …. ….
The characters were okay, too. ChangMin stole my heart whereas JinHee stated to annoy the fuck out of me after episode 18. The producers started to rush things and it was like she became a whole new person. I also loated ChangMin’s mother. I am 100% sure that woman was born in hell, goddamn she seriously needed to mind her business sooner instead of always trying to get between her son and his ex-wife.
The ending was good, but nothing extraordinary. JinHee got too lovelydovely for my taste and I am still fairly disappointed because this drama had so much more potential.
All in all I still liked it and I think it’s also worth watching if you want something funny and different.
