I was really looking forward to this drama. I highly enjoyed ep 1 but ep 2 was when I stopped watching. As someone who works with victims and survivors of human trafficking, I didn’t like the fact they added in the scene where her aunt basically sold her off to work in the fish farm for money. That is clearly labor trafficking. The scene happened so fast I questioned if she was dreaming or if it was actually happening. Not only that, but how it was “normalized” in the drama. She was rescued but nobody cared to question why she was there other than to see if she did drugs so that the cops could arrest her. Nonetheless, her relationship remained the same with her aunt. She wasn’t angry or upset with her aunt and her aunt is always “saving the day”. I understand this is supposed to be a fun silly drama but the context was not appropriate in my opinion considering it’s 2023.

Genuinely loved this drama. The main leads and the side characters along with their interactions and stories. One of the very few dramas I watched without skipping a scene.

The main girl became one of my favorite actress due to her modern drama " Dream Garden ." However, I did not like her character in this drama at all. She was super harsh to everyone around her and her acting disappointed me. I understand her character is supposed to fight for equality for women but there were a lot of times she overstepped her boundaries and put other people at risk. You could say I finished this drama because of the male lead. Also, I didn't like how they added the rape scene. It was very unnecessary. Honestly speaking, I liked her sister more. All in all, the first half was good and then it went downhill from there. Even though the ending was somewhat a happy ending, it was unsatisfying.
