Reviewer: FanFanX
Date: May 2024
Aesthetics: A++
Acting: A+
Plot: C-

Great cast but the story starts unraveling to its own detriment. How does one not feel guilty about rooting for a husband who wishes ill of his wife and stays to make sure she changes her will to have him as the majority beneficiary? But when she becomes sick, he has a change of heart as he suddenly remembers that he still had one – and then begins the cover-up / seesaw of emotions. Throwing into the mix: two baddies that you can’t get rid of, ML’s loving and bumbling family plus  FL’s snotty family (both sets grow on you). This is a a very scenic series apropos of nothing
  • Fav scene-stealer: Aunt Beom-ja. 
  • Fav idiot: Soo-cheol. 
  • Ice Queen: Kim Ji-won and her very expensive fashionable outfits…
  • Bonus: Kim Soo-hyun’s humiliation. 
Rating: 2/5


One (1/5)
