Great Ending, Messy Love Triangle
The only thing that made this drama unique was its unpredictable ending. What became frustrating, however, was the constant push-and-pull between the three characters. This is the first drama I’ve seen where the female lead was literally bouncing back and forth between the first and second male leads. It was especially strange considering they are half-brothers. She would switch between them whenever circumstances arose that prevented a relationship from developing further.
The drama follows a former heiress seeking revenge against the company responsible for bankrupting her family’s business. She goes undercover as an ordinary employee at the very company that caused her family’s downfall. Although the story had a lot of potential, it was ultimately weighed down by an excessive use of cliché tropes. For instance, the first male lead’s girlfriend suddenly disappears, only for it to be revealed later that she was in a car accident and developed amnesia. She is saved by the first male lead’s half-brother and falls in love with him. The two male leads are half-brothers and estranged.
Due to the trouble the second male lead caused in the United States, his mother seemingly sent him to China to work with his father’s side of the company in order to straighten him out. He may have also done this to prove himself to his grandmother and to help secure a higher status for his mother. I’m not entirely certain, as it has been a long time since I watched the drama.
Honestly, the only thing I genuinely liked about this drama was the ending theme song.
PSA: Why were the two side characters wearing the long hunter boots?
