The plot is familiar: the FL seeks revenge on a chaebol family that wronged her, navigating their nepotism and power plays to rise to the top. While the premise is engaging, the execution falls flat because the FL consistently makes avoidable mistakes, coming across as unintelligent. In today’s landscape, viewers expect FLs to be smart, strong, and resourceful—not overly reliant on others or unable to stand on their own. Even after her “glow-up,” she repeats the same errors, undermining the idea that her earlier struggles were due to her economic status. This lack of growth makes the show frustrating to watch. The acting is excellent, but the writing leaves much to be desired. Additionally, the youngest chaebol family member looks like a 20-something but behaves like a 5 year old and treated as such too, which creates a jarring disconnect.
