Acting: A

Plot: B

A revenge story propelled by magic/time travel. We also have dear Yoo Ji Hyuk (Na In Woo) stealing Kang Ji Won’s (Park Min Young) broken heart and helping her give ten-fold retribution to her former bestie (GTB), Jung Soo Min and her once-husband, Park Min Hwan for ruining her first life. It is satisfying to watch the two turn on each other, too. A good blend of revenge and romance. There are three CPs (well, four if including the evil duo), and not nearly enough time to cover all of them properly. 

Favorites:

        1) Na In Woo who was able to pull off the many sides of Yoo Ji Hyuk. 

        2) Lee Yi Kyung as the evil 2ML, Park Min Hwan. He made it so easy to hate his character.
            (He’s being called names now…Oops, too good.)

        3) Yoo Hee Yeon (Choi Gyu Ri) is my spirit animal.
