I have to give the writer credit for doing the birth secret right.
The writer should have designed the FL character a bit better, the FL is portrayed as smart and sharp but not applying this latter on to for example help the ML in running the business was a missed opportunity. I think that is why they brought in the ghost storyline so the FL could help the family. Also not giving her hardships to overcome early on meant less sympathy from the viewers for her becoming gisaeng. Maybe FL and stepsister’s characters should have been merged, because I had more empathy for the stepsister.
Also I would probably call this drama more of a slice of life.
If you’re looking for romance keep on looking, this isn’t it. Slight romance in the 2nd act but later half of the show is boring and repetitive.
I’ve learnt my lesson, if villain is the lead then nothing gets resolved until the last episode, and the villain is given superpowers by the writer to keep them relevant in the story till the very end when the superpowers just goes away and everyone wakes from a dream and are shocked by what the villain has done, smh.
The doormat martyr character is a sign the writer is lazy but wants you to feel empathy, but I think it makes the viewer ambivalent towards the character instead. Being a doormat martyr with a messiah complex is just an insidious controlling behavior.
Without consequences for one’s actions, how can one grow and develop?
Amongst the worst, truly! Right from the end of the first episode, it was evident that its fate was sealed and…
I completely agree with you on this one, it’s like. Once you start watching it’s like a train wreck you can’t look away because you’re curious as to how bad it can get.

This show is quite stupid. It seems to have been written by 10th graders, or maybe it’s an April Fool’s joke on the viewers?? Abandon medical school to be a pastry chef?? You don’t see him in making pastries?? Low effort from the production team, the lead actors etc.. And it commits the worst crime of all by being boring.
On the surface it seems like a normal show, it’s like sticking your hand in a bag of donuts only to pull out your hand and it’s covered in dog p@@p.
Start watching at your own risk, you’ve gotten a fair warning, so you have no one to blame but yourself.
Casting Kim Sang Kyung prevented this drama from being rated higher. He just seems to have a lower stature and seems out of place compared to the other leads. He’s performance was borderline cartoonish.
Failed experiment, a)Hire the bargain basement actors, writer, director, and talent. b)Make ML & FL unlikeable. c)Make script amateurish . d)Use weak ineffectual looking actor as ML. e)Use actress that mostly plays the antagonist as FL. f)Make most characters act stupid and silly. And the list goes on, Then by insurance against the drama’s failure, sit back and collect, Hmm sounds like someone watched The Producers and took it literally.
Just avoid this one in my opinion, because it’s the worst kind of drama that promises better but self sabotages. At least drama that set no expectations and stink are much more palatable because you don’t feel deceived.
It pretty much goes off the rails after episode 65, quickest way for a writer to ruin a show is to make the leads unlikeable and making them a doormat that protects their enemies in addition it guarantees you lose empathy for them..
Adding in using lazy plot devices like lack of communication and pure stupidity, you guarantee frustrated viewers.
In addition I am yet to find a “Lee Yoo Ri” drama with a nice satisfying ending, the ones I’ve seen all end with a whimper, I suspect she’s an ego trip in real life.

Unfortunately this suffered from the “let’s wait till last minute syndrome to bring the couple together” for high viewership ratings, there by ruining the romance aspect. In my humble opinion.
