Not as thought-provoking as Sky Castle, not as addicting as Penthouse, and not as intriguing as Mine. There is a lot to be desired in terms of writing and character development. Given the premise and genre of this show, I thought this show would get way more ratings, but maybe people are starting to grow tired of these over-the-top dramas that air out the dirty laundry of Korea's top .0001%. With the oversaturation of dramas it becomes harder to stand out, even if you manage to draw viewers in. And the first episode didn't really do a good job of making you interested, but once you get to the end of episode 4 things get a lot more interesting.

The cast is okay. There seems to be more than what meets the eye when it comes to the characters, but the execution of revealing intentions could've been executed better. I really like the FL. She is seemingly perfect like those around her but she too conceals secrets that are yet to be revealed. She has a lot of likeable qualities. She is kind and empathetic towards others. She is humble. And admirably, she is trying her best to adjust as a single mother and giver her child the best support she possibly can for both their sakes. My favorite thing about her tho is that she is no pushover. She seems like she has no fight in her but if you rile her feathers her talons will surely come out. In a lot of ways she reminds me of Woo-joo's mom from Sky Castle. Overall she is just very well-written. Gong Hyun-joo is okay. Kind of annoying at times but then again that's her character. I also like Danny (he low-key fine asf) despite him being shady.

{I'll post my final thoughts her once the drama concludes}

UPDATE: The ending def didn't go the way I thought and things did get a little ridiculous. Bringing the FL's character back from the dead was unnecessary and imo took away from the story. I mean he faked his death for what really? The second wife's storyline could've been handled better and she started to get on my nerves, but I did like her and the FL teaming up together. I think the strongest part of the show is how their relationship evolves and come to see each other as victims who were played by the same guy. My biggest gripe with this show is that it wasn't compelling enough and I found it hard to care or really get invested in any of the characters. This one has a lot of potential but it fell short sadly. 7/10
