Nothing Hidden…You See Everything

I have to say when this drama first started, yes, I was all in. Unfortunately, it just didn’t hold my interest, I just wanted to finish it. I know, so sad to say after I thought it was going to be so good.

The drama revolves around Ga Sung Ho, the owner of Gasung Group. He hires Kim Yeong Ran (Jeon Yeo Been) to be his bodyguard and eventually his "unconventional" wife to enter into a marriage agreement for two reasons:
1. He knew his stepdaughter Ga Seon Young (Jang Yoo Ju) killed his daughter Ye Rim and he wanted justice for her.
2. He didn't have long to live so he wanted someone that he felt would carry out his wishes for him.

The shocking part was after Ga Sung Ho had hired Kim Yeong Ran and only I would say several weeks into her job, he committed suicide but not before the marriage was confirmed. After Ga Seon Young and the others on the board heard of this she was labeled "the younger wife who was a gold digger” to get a dying man's money. Ga Seon Young was totally ticked about the change of events and decides Kim Yeong Ran needed to die. Knowing what would happen Ga Sung Ho, Kim Yeong Ran along with Lee Don (Seo Hyeon Woo) attorney for Ga Sung Ho had a contingency plan all in place. Kim Yeong Ran would go into hiding for three months until the shareholder meeting confirming her as the majority shareholder for the company fulfilling Ga Sung Ho’s wish to not only save his company but expose Ga Seon Young as his daughter’s killer.

You know what they say about the best laid plans. They end up sending her to the countryside to be a kindergarten teacher by the name of Bu Se Mi. Now, it is ironic that she was supposed to be so well hidden that Baek Hye Ji (Joo Hyn Young) finds her and stays with her. Baek Hye Ji to me was the most irritating and annoying character. She took the drama down to me when she came to the town. Her quirkiness was just too much.

Then the mother eventually finds her too, pretty soon everyone finds her even after putting up CCTV cameras throughout the town. How incognito was she?

The only good part about her time in the town, was with the kids. Especially when she taught them self-defense and she literally killed the blow-up dinosaur in the classroom. The kids were devastated. When she taped him up all wounded. You couldn’t help but laugh. The kindergarten director also added to some funny moments, those bobby socks and Mary Jane shoes, I was so done!

Eventually the whole incognito was a wrap and she was exposed.

I know you are probably wondering about the romance...right? How can I say this, nope, nada, zilch, zero! What a waste of Jin Young. That man is so fine. I would have found a reason just to kiss him. But there is only ONE kiss and that was six months after she left and then returned to the wedding of Baek Hye Ji.

I'll wrap this up.
- Ga Sung Ho, didn't commit suicide it was a fake. He wanted to stay around to expose Ga Seon Young which he does by videotaping her killing him, for real this time.
- Kim Yeong Ran’s mother is used by Ga Seon Young to bring down Kim Yeong Ran. She does get her money. Ends up in jail and gets her comeuppance on Ga Seon Young.
- Oh, and Ga Seon Young well, she went on a killing spree. She killed not only Ga Sung Ho but also his daughter, Ye Rim and her brother, Ga Seon U (Lee Chung)

Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment is that this drama in the first episode started out well. But the loss of NO romance was a downer. Even after seeing him after six months, not even a hug, his son didn't even run over to see her or her to him. We then switch to them on the beach and he says:
JDM: "Let's live together. From now on, I'll protect you for the rest of your life."
KYR: "Didn't you say you would wait ten years."
JDM: "Yeah, but now that I see you again, I can't possibly wait. I can't wait anymore."

Kiss...the end.

If you have nothing else to watch do so, it not that bad, but not up to the expectations after the first episode.
