Convoluted Plot, Misleading Title

Let's face it. Sarah Kim was evil and to regard her con as art is trying to put lipstick on a pig and call it beautiful. She befriended her victims, defrauded, used and discarded them without so much as a backward glance. As if that was not enough, she resorted to murder.

The writer made so much effort to present Sarah as this brilliant, dynamic con artist, bigger than life who flits from one situation into another that made the story directionless and confusing. Sarah was a criminal who played the victim driven to do what she did because "poor little old me was downtrodden and looked down by society"

I don't buy the fact the authorities could not identify her real name. With the advancement in forensics, dna and digital technology and Sarah's limited resources and where she lived which is just limited to Korea, it is impossible the police could not identify her. The loan sharks did a better job because they immediately found her. The writer wanted to create more drama but it did not work for me.

Shin Hae Sun and Lee Jun Hyuk did a good job in portraying their charcters but they can only do so much with the material given to them.
