I'm quite taken aback by this drama... something is definitely wrong here. First, there are WAY too many coincidences for it to be taken seriously, though it acts like a "realistic" story. Second, we get TWO stories in one - by episode 5, we have a young cast, after that, all actors are replaced by the "mature" characters and contemporary actions. The first part is dark, the second part suddenly throws humour in; the victims unexpectedly turn into successful career people. What characters and stories should we develop a connection with?
Also, i find it hard to digest the catastrophic life accidents of our leads - abuse, beating, bullying, rape, kidnapping, imprisonment, lies, death, execution, trauma, hidden identity, secret siblings etc etc. Can we please make this more like normal everyday life?
A lot of flashbacks too... Same scenes and lines are drilled into us over and over. Are you trying to brainwash us or what?
It's more like a lakorn, and pretty long at that, with 21 (!) episodes while my patience is already being tested.
It could've been way better.
