Starts out mildly interesting then devolves into a bore fest
6/10 is my rating. This is a 2021 South Korean romantic comedy drama (includes mystery, thriller, suspense, crime and law elements) with 16, 70 minute episodes.
First I provide a unique synopsis then review
Synopsis
Jo Yeon-joo (Honey Lee) is a slightly corrupt, mafia defeating, prosecutor who finds her life completely transformed after a significant head injury related to a car accident. Because she has amnesia and doesn't remember who she is, when she is mistaken for her identical twin/doppelgänger, Kang Mi-na (also played by Honey Lee) she just goes with it. Min-na's personality could not be different she is cold, demure and is the emotionally abused youngest daughter-in-law of a conglomerate group. Her husband Han Seong-woon (Song Won-seok) married her as she does have ties to another conglomerate family so had the surface pedigree and came with business ties that made it a beneficial arranged marriage. However, her married family treats her poorly as they believe she is an illegitimate child of her chaebol father. The family is in for a rude awakening when "Min-na" is no longer demure or easily cowed after her injury. Her cheating husband finds the new spin on his wife intriguing and starts to show interest in her romantically for the first time even willing to give up his mistress. But, Seung-wook (Lee Sang-yoon) who was in line as an heir prior to the untimely death of his father, returns from the United States and wants to reclaim Mi-na who was his first love. The two begin to independently unravel the mystery of the real Mi-na as well as the truth behind other events such as the death of Seung-wook's father. In the process, Yeon-joo and Seung-wook begin to fall for each other.
Review
If you are a fan of Honey Lee you might like it just to see her act in a role where she plays two characters and has a lot of action scenes. Like so many other reviewers I found this initially interesting but quickly found the story line to be slow and repetitive. The romance is lost in the fact that he is not interested in her romantically for a large part of the series. Most of the other characters are completely unlikable. I would not recommend this and would not rewatch it.
Spoilers
In the beginning of the series Yeon-joo/Mi-nah rightfully tells her doppelgänger’s family off. It was satisfying when Yeon-joo talked back forceably to Mi-nah’s monstrous mother-in-law, Seo Young-won (Na Young-hee). Mi-nah left and husd largely die to the non stop emotional abuse from the whole family but from the mother-in-law in particular. But, in the latter half she let her get away with her abuse far too often.
There was not a lot of chemistry nor romantic build up between Yeon-joo and Han Seung-wook/Alex Chang because he spent a large part of the series reflecting on, amd pining for Mi-na amd was slow to realize his current feelings for Yeon-joo.
The oldest sister-in-law, Han Seong-hye (Jin Seo-yeon) seemed okay at first but then it turned out she was a snobby psycho. It was disappointing because I thought ine person in that horrible family had been on Mi-na’s side. But no. She turned out to be the worste of the bunch.
It was kind of funny that Mi-Na’s cheating husband, Han Seong-woon (Somg Won-seok) winds up falling for the feisty Yeon-joo to the point he ditches Park So-yi (Park Jeong-hwa) but sad at the same time because he never cared about his actual wife.
The father-in-law, Han Young-sik (Jeon Kuk-hwan), was horrible to Mi-na until she became chairwoman of her family’s conglomerate. Then he was better to her but only because it suited his only very selfish interests.
Usually when there is uninteresting or unlikable main characters, there is at least some redeemable side characters. This one was not even propped up by likable second and side characters.
