Spoilers ahead.
This series was a roller coaster ride for me. I went from being impressed and intrigued to being very annoyed and swearing under my breath. Misty is a masterclass in victimhood and spinelessness.
Our main character, Go Hye Ran, has no problem walking all over anybody as long as it serves her. She lies, cheats, and blackmails, but God forbid someone does it back to her. Her ex-lover, Kevin Lee, is just cartoonishly evil and poorly written. This man supposedly worked his way up, only to have no problems sacrificing it all to harass a woman who used him in present day despite breaking his heart in the past. He had no qualms about being used, got blackmailed by her, then assaulted her to blackmail her back. Truly a match made in heaven.
Though, you see, Go Hye Ran has a husband whom I don't care to mention the name of, and he is perhaps the human embodiment of a Welcome mat. Go Hye Ran can dust her feet all over this doormat with no protests. After all, that's all that he is - a spineless doormat in desperate need of therapy to recognize his own worth. My problem with this character isn't his initial decision to be his wife's lawyer. No, it's his audacious actions of deleting someone else's footage because it included his cheating wife sharing a steamy kiss with her Voldemort ex-lover. And before someone tells me that she was kissing him to manipulate him, that only makes it worse really, not better.
I can say that the only two upsides to this are the gorgeous music and the ending, the latter of which I haven't watched but heard was befitting of the wretched main character with a messed up moral compass. Go Hye Ran isn't a "brat" or a "baddie"; she is a horrible person for reasons unrelated to her ambition or her choice to break up with Kevin Lee in pursuit of a better life.
