Great performances in this dark revenge tale about poor vs rich people

I was apprehensive about watching this drama because of the length but one Youtube user commented that Sa Gang Yun was in this drama. That made me watch the drama. Overall I liked the drama and I hope Zuo Yi & Sa Gang Yun will collab again.

What I liked:
1. Morally grey - I liked that 3 characters were morally.grey and at some point of the drama, they became unlikeable including FL.
2. FL characterisation - She was out for revenge for the untimely death of her boyfriend. I loved her determination to punish those people.
3. Acting - Superb performances from Zuo Yi, Sa Gang Yun and the actress who played the main antagonist (SFL). The actor who played FL's boyfriend gave great performance.
4. Supporting characters - I liked FL's boyfriend and FL's mother.
5. Plot twist - I liked that it appeared close to second hour. The third act was unpredictable.

What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - SFL was sinister in her way to stay in control of the household. SML played by Sa Gang Yun was a ruthless character.
2. Seduction - I know romance wasn't main focus of this drama but Sa Gang Yun was too sexy. I wish he & Zuo Yi had some kisses with FL initiating them before ML passed out.
3. Acting - Zhang Ting Rui gave an underwhelming performance. The actor who played FL's boyfriend gave a better and more memorable performance.
