Changed my rating again after the last episode
EDITED:
⚠️ May contain spoilers ⚠️
I changed my rating to 5/10 because I can no longer take how cheesy and ridiculous the story has become.
I hate how they pitted two women against each other over a man—as if he’s some grand prize. For more than 10 episodes, all we see are two women plotting against each other just to win a man.
La El's revenge was supposed to be about what happened to her family. Her hatred should have been her driving force—so strong that she wouldn't care about anything else except her revenge. Yet the story ends up focusing more on her love triangle with the chairman, completely overshadowing the original premise.
And to justify La El’s actions, they made Sora (the wife who supposedly loved her husband so much) cheat on him—so now it’s “okay” because “she cheated too”? That’s weak writing.
La El’s revenge should have been directed at Sora’s father—the true mastermind, someone who’s supposed to be fearsome and cruel. But instead, all he does is scold his daughter. No schemes, no counterattacks, no investigations—absolutely nothing. Just empty threats.
I really don’t get why the focus was on winning over the chairman. As if making him fall in love would somehow destroy the real villains?
Now, if a plot twist reveals that the chairman was behind it all along and is the true mastermind—that would be interesting. But even that wouldn’t fix the many ridiculous plot holes throughout the series.
That said, the cast did a great job. The cinematography was excellent. And honestly, Seo Ye-Ji is carrying this drama. Her performance is the only reason I kept watching—she’s like a band-aid over a messy, inconsistent plot.

Edited:
I changed my rating again—from 8 to 5, and now finally dropped it to 3/10 after the last episode.
I can’t believe how this series turned out. It started really strong, got painfully draggy in the middle, and ended in complete disappointment.
I don’t understand why the writers pushed the love story between La El and the chairman when it made no sense and they had zero chemistry. I wasn’t even expecting La El to end up with anyone romantically, but this pairing felt forced. At this point, I’m wondering if things would’ve been different had they cast a different actor for the chairman.
What really frustrated me is how the long-awaited revenge ended up going nowhere. It’s as if the writers wanted La El to come off as this brilliant avenger—but had no idea how to actually write that arc.
What a waste.
