Disappointed.....

Not my first 100-episode Kdrama. I really love having a. deep dive into characters and following their journeys. But sometimes things don't go the way you hope.

Seol Ah started off as being pretty awful by any standards. But she genuinely grew as a person and met someone along the way who could have made her truly happy. Instead they end it wth her going back to the man she married for money, never loved, and who made her life a complete misery for quite a while after she had divorced him. Manipulating her at every turn to try and win her back. And they have her go back to him???? What!!! Nonsense.

I stuck with it because Seol In Ah who plays Chung Ah is simply wonderful. So expressive. I desperately wanted her to finally have some happiness in her life, after even her own father disowned her for a while. Thankfully she does get a happy ending but blink and you'll miss it!

I had really enjoyed a lot of it, but that ending, after loathing Jin Woo for almost all the series, was just too much.

Very difficult to watch and not lose patience!

Is it enjoyable? Sure, it's a rollercoaster ride. But it's filled with an incredibly ridiculous amount of contrivances in order to keep everyone in their place and not get their come uppance.

This isn't a new thing in Kdramas of course, nor indeed shows from other countries. But this series in particular feels like they just make it up as they go along. The amount of "just happened to be at the right place at the right time" scenes are nuts.

They have a trick of showing you one thing, but have actually written it a completely different way, so if you are someone who likes to figure out where things are headed, don't bother!

It sounds like I didn't enjoy it. I did, particularly a couple of the female leads. But I must admit that I got sick of the impossible situations that you wouldn't figure out for yourself in a million years. It takes a lot of patience and suspension of disbelief to follow this show, so definitely isn't for everyone.
