Park Min

Good choice for casting female leads but a very poor one for casting both male leads. Where did they get them? From the back alley? Weak screen presence and no chemistry with neither of their female counterparts. Unfortunately, the looks are deceiving and we didn't get what we initially thought. Just from watching the first 1/4 you may think this is about family relationships, sisters relationships and mother-daughter relationships but that was only a small part (20 eps in total?) before switching to an unnecessary work place competition and love triangle quarrels. Other dynamics were neglected too, like the other two sisters from the poor family with their old/new sister or like the troublemaker father with either of the daughters. The climax was weak, it gave all the attention and screen time to the love interest instead of the family as a whole which made Geum Ran's conclusion amongst the weakest because the drama ran out of time to even consider giving her a real wrap up other than a generic sudden change of character one. I liked the drama initially and its set up but it didn't quite deliver.

Great performance from Yoon So Yi, I love her bug face. This was much better than expected. Compared to the writer's and director's other project "Love Twist" this is definitely better. However, there were many problems holding it back other than the usual drag of the 2nd half of all dailies. There were a disgusting amount of time-skips which made it a big turn off especially with that last time-skip of 3 years which also led to a cold ending. This is a great example of what not to do with time-skips. The other big problem was rape! They went through the worst possible way to set up the story. Once again, it's acceptable in Kdramas to rape a guy while being passed out then get pregnant to force him into marriage and create plethora of subsequent shenanigans. I've seen this maneuver repeated step by step so many times and Korean writers keep getting away with it! Anyway, the drama is decent despite the big misses.

It was natural for Mi Soo to end up with Hyun Woo but they had to force a divorce instead of making Hyun Woo's mother come to her senses. She remained hateful and despicable. Regardless of who's going to be her future daughter in law, she will treat her the same as she treated Mi Soo. The biggest loser in this drama was Hyun Woo.

The 2nd lead syndrome in this is very strong. Hyun Woo is just too superior, he stole the show. There was almost no chemistry between FL and Young Min despite being the male lead. All the chemistry went to FL and Hyun Woo. The drama was fine for the first 81 episodes then it took a hard left turn and everything started to crumble. Yet again, it took another extreme left turn after episode 102 with all the fiasco including Seo Young and Hyun Woo's mother. The drama had potential but there were too many fuck ups in the writing departments.

Sometimes I really want to understand what even is the point? This could have been an actually decent drama if it weren't for the last episode. I guess that's how grandmas used to like them back then.

Writing, story, characters, cast, performance and production it's really rough from all angles.

This is what happens when the writer force tragedy for the sake of tragedy. Once forced, everything lose its weight and become meaningless. The drama is just flashy and tacky, that's it. It is watchable if you're looking for some goofy action.

Sometimes there are few selected dramas that shouldn't even be submitted to the network for approval and this is definitely one of them. My soul has been drained out from this abomination and I don't feel like writing too much. It's impressive how one writer can fuck up this hard. It takes a talent! This drama is classified under "rage bait kink" and "fucky wucky ending" labels, it's manufactured that way. This drama is a waste of carbon emissions. If I'm not clear enough, you're very much highly recommended and advised to absolutely turn around far away from this cancerous tumor.

Awful writing! One of the most disorganized incoherent unstructured writing I ever came across.

This has the same writer who wrote "A Thousand Kisses" and "Mother's Garden" which both I gave 2/10 and this drama is no exception for being pure ass. I really hope this writer to never write anything again ever. This drama is a rage bait from start to finish and it won't give you anything you want even at the last scene. I highly advise you to ignore this one. It's not worth it even if you're curious.

This is the type of revenge story were the villain commit double digits crimes yet they don't get a worthy punishment after 100 episodes pain. The drama was okay for the first half but unfortunately the second half was doomed to fail because everything became inside a corporate setting. I yearn for the day drama writers realize that 2 parties fighting each other inside a company is boring as fuck! About 40-50 episodes were wasted on these random fights. The drama initially included the kids heavily but shortly after they were completely dropped to never be seen again on screen until the last scene. Anyway, only the 1st half was watchable.

The writer wrote himself in inescapable corner which explains the sudden erratic change in writing/story/characters from the beginning of episode 68. There was no solution other than a hard re-write. The synopsis is mostly wrong after the first paragraph.

Awful writing! The only highlight was some random village scenery.

You aren't allowed to question anything in this drama otherwise it'll be unwatchable. Nothing makes sense and nothing will, you've to accept that. They take everything way too far and over dramatize the living shit out of it. Those soliloquy scenes in the black room were an awful addition to the drama. Cringe direction.

The drama was fine until Seung Joo married around episode 22 then everything fell off along with my interest. After that, the drama solely focused on her entangled relationships and love square while ignoring most of the other stories/characters and turning them to a side story. This change of direction ruined the drama.

This would have been great as a 16-20 episodes drama and more polish. The formula/concept didn't work for a 120(60) episodes drama. The first 15-20 episodes were really boring slice of life bits scattered, it does get a little bit better once they become "parenting daddy". The drama also lacked proper tension to keep the viewers engaged. Some very distracting poor performance by Oh Jung Yeon, her facial muscles were completely dead. This drama was her only main acting role for a reason. She also works as an announcer and TV presenter, I can see that working for how stiff she looks. There was an attempt but I expected a lot more from the drama, just like your kids.

Very typical makjang. It follows the exact formula without attempting anything new. They over done it for how much the baddies can get away with, there should be some balance. The cast didn't help either to keep the drama afloat. Some of the camera angles were too weird, the actors were looking point blank centered directly to the camera.

It feels like they had to cut it short because of how messy the last few episodes. Not a fan of the ending. Not a fan of how they decided to stir the story, actually wasteful.

Awful writing. The writer had absolutely zero idea how to balance the bad guys and the good guys. There were barely any story other than the cheating, the rest were barely random snippets. Which resulted in an unreasonable drag, especially after the first half the drama was pretty much over but the writer went full random throwing anything at the viewers to get to the 128 mark. That illness at the end was pure rage bait for the viewers. You can feel the painful stretch. Each turning point took forever for this reason. Anyway, this is the writer's first project and it's not looking good at all.

If you read the synopsis, the story will pan out exactly step by step as you would expect it. As generic as any other birth secret story can be so don't expect anything. The writing was weak and the cast performance as well. From the very first scene it smelled like low budget.
