There's a lot happening at the start of this drama. It has a very strong begining, which makes the middle a little slower as it feels like the story has to catch its breath a little. I was scared at some point that the dreaded 1/3 cruse would get this one too, but it successfully side stepped it imo. The last episode is great, which is very rare.

This is a very good, very solid drama, and even though evil people are very evil, it's highly satisfactory. However, I don't think it's going to be a favorite of mine. Mind you, I love revenge story, I love badass women who take charge of their fate. But around the start of the last third, there's some episodes that fall a little flat. Not many, luckily, but something's a little off and, after this, there's some note that get overplayed as well. It didn't hinder my enjoyment, but I guess since it's not my first rodeo, I'm more critical of these kind of things.

As others have pointed out, Oh Yu Ra's character drains the story out more than it adds to it. It's unfortunate. With how things turn out in the end, she wasn't super necessary. I can think very easily of ways to erase her completely from the show and still have most of the things she's implicated with happen nonetheless.
