Intense!!
It's been a long time since I’ve been hooked on a Song Hye Kyo drama.
The plot actually reminds me a lot of Seo Ye Ji’s last drama Eve—with the female lead seeking revenge against the rich and powerful, trying to catch the attention of the villain’s husband, becoming a teacher at their daughter’s school, the daughter having emotional issues, the villain having an affair, and the FL having a man who is deeply in love with her and supports her revenge. The only difference? This one is written so much better—less screaming and much more refined.
Each episode is intense, exciting, and genuinely unpredictable.
Of course, there are still some plot holes—especially with the female lead obviously having plot armor. Realistically speaking, if these people were as powerful as portrayed, couldn’t they have just had her killed?
I’m also relieved there was no affair between SHK and the villain’s husband.
But honestly, I’m still wondering if the villain’s husband is truly a kind man—or if he’s hiding something darker. I hope he stays good.
One thing I really appreciate is that SHK didn’t rely on filters or excessive makeup to hide her natural lines. She was criticized for that in her previous dramas, but here, we can see her real face—and I absolutely love that.
If I had to nitpick, I’d say I’m not a big fan of the OST or music scoring. It’s not terrible, just not memorable—but it didn’t ruin the experience either.
I seriously cannot wait for the next season!
