I really liked this drama in the beginning. Actually the first 70-80% was good. It's a family drama, so it's slow pacing which is fine, I enjoyed it a lot.But once the ML and FL got together, that's when it goes flatline. The story's focus turned to FL's mum and brother. Since her mom was an unbelievably such a pain in the arse character, I find it really hard to waste my time watching her character development arch. My other problem was when ML's Dad passed away, ML was depicted as dead sad. But only few minutes after the funeral, he bounced back to not just being his normal self, but as a happy man with a spring on his steps.
Overall it was an enjoyable watch, great acting from the leads.

Pulp Fiction Feel
I went in here to watch Wi Ha Joon (I just finished Little Women). I'm not a fan of Lee Dong Wook, so I was planning to just fast forward most and just watch scenes with WHJ in it.I find some scenes are too violent and I did fast forward those. But I had problem fast forwarding everything else. I am just floored with Lee Dong Wook and the rest of the cast's performance. The plot and turn of events are so cleverly written. You won't find any draggy moments here.
I'm sad this drama doesn't get as much viewers as what it deserves. I can understand though that it's too violent for some people. But they are filled with effortlessly funny scenes too. The action scenes are awesome and the way this drama is shoot reminds me of Pulp Fiction.
One of my favourite is actually the sessions with the psychiatrist. We can see the doctor-patient relationship growing in intensity.

2nd ML abused
I started this drama without knowing the original version. At first I wasn't sure which one is the ML, or which one is the 2nd ML. Then by episode 7 or 8, when Woori dumped him, then it's obvious which one is the 2nd ML.What's upsetting is that in the first half of this drama, a lot of time was invested on that 2nd ML. You gotta fall in love with that guy, he's just the best guy ever. So much that when when Woori dumped him, I became very angry at her and decided to drop this.
I know no one is perfect, and maybe they're not meant to be with other. That's fine. But I'm not a sadist, I don't enjoy to watch the 2nd ML so brokenhearted from episode 7/8 to episode 14 (final)!!
Spoiler, Woori had doubt about the 2nd ML since the beginning of the drama, but then as the show goes on, she was shown to really fall in love with him. Then blamed him for a lie (which is mean because we can see that she lied to him too few times) so it's double standard on her behalf. The real cause she swayed is because of the ML who is rich and handsome (2nd ML is only a cop). Anyhow, whatever, I said people are not perfect. Yep, Sung Hoon is gorgeous and he's a nice guy too. I would love to root for him. But I'm so angry at the writer/director for spending so much time on 2nd ML just so we can see his demise!
Nope, no more of watching this! I feel so betrayed 😡

Terrible!
It's not very often I come across a long TV series which is so bad that I feel like I need to write how bad it is!It started off fine. But my goodness, the FL is so hopelessly stupid, I can't take it anymore, I just had to drop it at around ep 50. I just took a peek of the latest episode (ep 73) to see how are they going. It felt like I never left 😅. She's still dumb, so are everyone else there.
I don't know how many DNA result swap they did in this series. It's just so ridiculous. Everything about this drama is just ridiculous. Sorry but not sorry for this review!

So Funny and Convincing FL as a Male
I have never came across a female lead acting as a man, which actually looks like a man. So much that at first I wasn't sure she was a man or a woman (I came across the video in YouTube so I didn't know the storyline at all).This video is great if you are having a bad day and need a laugh. As this is largely a comedy, expect this to be silly and accept loop holes accordingly. It still hurts when the moments call for sad moments.
