Oh man I like my weekend dramas and with Kim Jung Hyun as one of the leads I was seated from week one... but this wasn't it. Every single character either is or becomes unbearable throughout the story, even Kang Ju, who is arguably the nicest and most well-intended person of the bunch becomes infuriating to watch since those qualities eventually lead him to be everyone's punching bag (even literally lol). The grandparents, the mom and the aunt are so greedy about money which isn't theirs and feel entitled to it, but the punishment is going to jail for 1 year (the aunt doesn't even receive any sort of punishment)??? That's all that they got??? Which brings me to the mother in law, Mu Rim and his wife: annoying af (I know she's doing her job but come on she kept digging because she couldn't fathom being mistaken about the mom), lifeless background character number 1 and pretty background character number 2. And don't get me started with Kang Ju's side!!!! HIS MOM????? Ok, the money is hers but 1) it's stolen money 2) she didn't get enough flack for trying to evade taxes and 3) she left his son to get beaten in the street in order to save it???? and his dad isn't any better because as soon as his biological son showed up it was as if he had never existed, like wtf??? Tae Woong and Cha Rim were also soooo insufferable!!! They truly deserve each other. At first I could see how Cha Rim was hurt because she was neglected by her mother but she was rude towards everyone and a gold digger. And Da Rim is so meh I don't have much to say about her.
The money storyline could've been good if it had been done in fewer episodes, I don't think it was a good fit as the overarching plot. The romance between Kang Ju and Da Rim was also quite lack luster, it's like he's interested in her since the beginning but she likes Tae Woong (blegh), he starts helping her and wow she's in love!!! Plus I don't think there was much chemistry between them... but really, besides the grandparents these people didn't have it.
Anyways, this was quite frankly the most frustrating drama I've ever seen, and I'm stupid for forcing myself to finish it!!!
