I get what people say when they write this is "extremely realistic"...it is compared to, you know, faking to be a guy in Joseon??! However I HOPE real life is not like this for ANY of you! Basically all the main characters have mental/behavioural issues (except Seol), and that's what makes this webtoon/drama different and interesting, since it's kind of a taboo topic and thus hardly portrayed in dramas with all it's darkness and without artificial sweeteners. For that only I think CITH is pretty interesting. However the drama went DOWNHILL after it started detaching from the webtoon. I think that's because the webtoon writer has this ability to create situations where all this problematic personality traits are portrayed but in a very controversial and complex way. You never know exactly what's good or wrong since you have this many fragmented views on the same fact. The drama took this and created a super simple and just so un-focused story that it all felt...terrible. I recommend to first read the webtoon and then start the drama. I think the drama writters never understood the webtoon characters and never knew what to do with them. And voilá, that's the drama.

Sometimes for me it was a little dragging, but this is one of those few, few dramas where the main couple develop a supportive, mature relationship I can relate to and enjoy to watch. They grow together and through each other. And that's marvelous.

I'm amazed at how bad this is. Like, it's so bad maybe it's watchable. Probably not. Run. Don't look back.

Terrible. I know this type of drama normally deals with the hierarchy between MIL-DIL and all the social norms, morals, etc. around family and korean society. So I kind of knew what I was going for. But the abuse of the MIL in this one is really hard to watch. Well, for me at least!

Pretentious. Behind those classical music parts and sexualized-and-almost-nothing-more passion a lack of character development ramps. The elegant execution may be charming at first, I will admit to that.
