Exactly. I think people are giving it low ratings just because the actors are not well known. Meanwhile there are dramas airing that are not that great but have ratings above 8 just because of the cast. Whatever happened to judging something by its quality rather than who is involved. People will watch meh dramas because of the actors and listen to bad songs because of who is singing.

I'm sure they were aiming for something great with this one but got nowhere close.

I cannot recommend this for anything, not for the revenge, not for the romance, not for the mystery much less for the ridiculous ending. Even a short drama needs to have some standards, if you are not doing at least one thing right, there is no point watching. You can safely skip this one.

I know. Good thing we have new episodes everyday. At least we only have to wait 24 hours instead of an entire week.

The SML syndrome on this one is hitting me hard and then they end episode 12 like that. >.<

I thought I was the only one. I found their interactions and chemistry better than what she has with the ML. But I guess starting on episode 11 we will see less of him since she is no longer disguised as a maid in his house. But I'm sure he will still pursue her even after finding out her true identity, he is already head over heels for her.

I had no expectations but I'm finding this to be more entertaining than some of the high budget dramas airing right now.

I had no idea there is a special episode. If you find it let me know, I will do the same if I come across it first.

Hi. So happy to hear my comments are helpful. They take time to write and sometimes I wonder if it's worth my time writing them, also because some are not as positive, I leave rants too. ^^'

Sometimes I also rely on other people's comments because even tho I work from home and make my own schedule, it is just impossible to watch EVERY drama out there so I need to pick which ones are worth giving a try and which ones are not for me.

Not a fan of those last 2 episodes or most episodes in the second half of the drama. Too much screen time wasted on unnecessary stuff and clichés that we all like to avoid. But the ending made me laugh and the drama was wrapped up in a nice bow.

This drama is no masterpiece nor is it as bad as some people are making it out to be. It is something that feels nostalgic, it brings me back to the days when I first started watching kdramas. It is full of clichés but entertaining. The leads carried this drama but there were many other characters that made it even more pleasant to watch like the ML's mother or the SML's son and many other supporting characters.

I watched the episodes every week and I think that also played a role in my enjoyment, not sure I would feel the same way if I was trying to binge-watch it. Probably would have felt the need to skip a lot of scenes.

Go into this drama not expecting to watch something super original or with a complex story but rather just something cliché but fun, full of romance, heart warming, funny and sometimes frustrating moments. Something to watch for fun in between more serious dramas. You can tell from the way it ended and the BTS that the actors had a lot of fun while filming it and we can kinda feel that while watching the drama.

I mean, this was interesting but by the end you will feel like shit (now the name of the drama makes sense). It is so messy, so many people die or get hurt and the one responsible for starting this chain of events seems to suffer no big consequences. The ending feels unsatisfying.

It is not a bad drama but as a revenge drama it just did not meet my expectations. The moment they decided to make the FL someone mentally unstable, there was no way we would see a satisfying revenge but I was at least expecting more consequences. The ending just made me feel like watching this was not worth it, just like most things that happen in the drama...not worth it for everyone except for Tulip's parents.

I think so too. I found it to be better than some of the other historical kdramas of recent years but nowhere as good as some of the older ones. The acting was great but the writing was very flawed. I found the start to be strong and I liked how they wrapped up things but that is about it. I felt like this had a lot of potential that was wasted.

I blame the Left Minister. Like everything else bad that happened in the drama, I'm sure he is to blame for the ratings not being as high as they could be. XD

Strong start, nice ending but average middle. Wish they had made this less about the Left Minister. His character and everything related to him made me want to skip scenes all the time. I know he is the main conflict of the plot but still, I did not even hate him, I just did not care to see him on screen.

This was a better sageuk than some of the ones I have watched in the past few years but still had flaws and was far from being as good as the older ones.

If I had to sum it up, this drama shows how "small" crimes like domestic violence and rape, crimes that are often ignored or made out to be less serious than they are, can destroy the life of not only the victim but also the lives of the abuser and everyone around them. In this drama, in a way or another, EVERYONE suffers the consequences of what happened, even unrelated people.

As a society we need to stop seeing these as small crimes and see them for what they are - crimes so horrible that your life is the only thing you have left, which is why so many victims often choose to end their lives.

True. There are a lot of things we kinda let go because it is a drama. I did too or I would not have been able to watch the drama but in the back of my mind I still wished they had chosen something else, maybe stick to the fighting thing which is still dangerous but only to the people fighting, not innocent people that are just out on the street. They could have still portrayed the ML as someone who needed to earn money and did not care much for his well-being with the fighting thing and still have a life changing injury and everything else, it is just that the car racing thing was "cooler" and "edgier" so people would be more interested in the drama, maybe even attract a bit more of the male audience.

I'm 31 so I know how to differentiate drama from real life but teenagers and young adults watching the drama might find the whole car racing thing cool and want to give it a try. If people want to risk their lives, go for it, just don't do dangerous stuff that risks other peoples lives, then you are just being irresponsible.

They sometimes mix the car racing scenes and the romantic scenes so hopefully you will not have to fast forward too much. ^^

In the original drama the leads had a 7 year age gap with the real age gap between the actors being 12 years...a bit big but still ok. You could tell the FL was older but not that much older.

The real age gap for the actors on this one is 16 years, which means she could be his mother...to make things worse she looks like she could actually be his mother because the actress looks her age while the actor looks even younger than his age. I was shocked to find out they were dating in real life and I wish them happiness but the obvious age gap made it hard for me to get into this. The plot and acting were also not that great.

It is not THE plot but is a big part of it. It is a main theme for the first 20 episodes when the drama has only 29 episodes.

I would still give it a try because it is not like it overtakes the romance like some other dramas do but I personally had to skip quite a few scenes.

Maybe give it a try and see if you like it. I don't enjoy car racing either, even hate it for how irresponsible it is, and still managed to finish the drama for the main leads romance.

Well, I personally saw many flaws in the writing and was not a fan of them making car racing such a big part of the plot (I cannot stand watching characters doing things that put people's lives at risk and car racing is one of them) BUT the main leads are good looking and their chemistry is great which is probably why the average rating is so high.
