Second Chances
Every time Han Yi Joo's name is spoken in this drama, I thought I was hearing honey dew :)
This FL's character started off as weak, and dense in the first episode but had a turnaround in her coming back to life one year earlier. She grew up in an orphanage, and desiring to be accepted, tried to please her step /adoptive mom. But her adoptive mom was cruel as well as her stepsister who is a spoiled brat, having a facade of a good girl.
I thought it was just Han Yi Joo who got the 2nd Chance, but halfway through the series, the mark on the wrist appeared also in Seo Do Guk. Towards the last episodes, even Do Guk got a 2nd chance though he did not wish for it. The story slowly unfolded, going back and forth in the future and present (which is the past year) to put together the stories of YI Joo and Do Guk.
The actors who acted as villains did a great job that sometimes, you want them thrown to jail all at once. But it gives us somewhat partial reality that justice isn't easy to get. It was interesting to see how well the villains made their moves, thinking that money and power can achieve their purpose. But in the end, all of us routed for good to win over evil.
I love how the family of Seo Do Guk warmed up to Han Yi Joo, as the latter didn't force her way to them. Her own bright attitude shone through with the help of her husband. I like that Do Guk has been patient with her till he was able to reveal that he also got a 2nd chance. I like Do Guk's grandma and mom who are quite sensible and not really haughty like Jeong Hye. They may be rich, but they did not belittle Han Yi Joo.
This drama showed so many aspects of family relationships. For one, till now society has a way of ostracizing the adopted child. But there are true-to-life stories wherein the adopted has equal rights to the true blooded children. I am glad that there is a balance wherein it shows that not all rich people are condescending nor judgmental, as in the case of Do Guk's family (except for the brother). It also shows that not everyone who seem loyal to an evil Jeong Hye are blind followers, as in the case of Jae Won, Jeong Hye's secretary. The drama confronts us to choose what is right, to get over insecurities, and to be truthful.
The revenge was really perfect, because they did not use evil tricks but rather gathered evidence to make the villains pay. The drama still has shown that not because you are family, you can get away with your crime. A good name is better to be desired than riches with so much evil.
