This drama has started on very strong. It came out around the same time as "against the current", which is a masterpiece in my opinion, so I was really excited to watch two wonderful dramas at the same time, unfortunately I was disappointed.
This drama has started on super strong, the beginning was very interesting. The atmosphere very dark and ambiguous making you hooked. The revenge storyline, the characters, the acting, everything was wonderful at the beginning, which makes your blood boil and makes you jump in anticipation to know what will happen next, I dropped this around episode twenty, because it felt very incomplete. After the first few episodes the revenge was dragging on and on forever, and the female lead felf like an accessory to the male lead. Like literally, the male lead always saves her. He's the one who always do things for her. The female lead was just there doing nothing. I wanted to finish it in case it gets better later on, but I've seen some spoilers, and I do not think it will get any better. So I've decided to drop it. Honestly, it has a wonderful beginning, and a high potential, unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. Especially with against the current as its rival, it just felt much more lacking. the only good thing about this drama is the acting, and the atmosphere, the tense dark, ambiguous atmosphere was wonderful, though other things were very, very lacking: the storyline, the character development, the pace, everything else, it did not give us the satisfaction of watching a revenge drama with a good revenge.
