Acting was great by all the actors -the children in the beginning did well too, but overacted at times.
The music did get a little repetetive at times, but there were no songs I absolutely couldn't stand so it was ok.
Rewatch value is lower just due to the fact that the drama will be less interesting the second time around, since you know where all the twists and turns in the plot will go.
I would recommend this drama if you enjoyed Shining Inheritance due to a somewhat similar plotline and premise of the drama.

The writing was the biggest issue I had, while being sometimes riveting there was too much back and forth, not a lot explained, wishy-washy feelings and just not enough clarity.
There were a few things touched on and left unexplained I thought - such as a certain gang leaders propensity to stare at the older sister like he couldn't believe she was really there. (There is a history there, it's quite interesting, I just wished it would have been fleshed out more.) I actually would have liked to have something romantic happen there, I think the older sister deserved it after what she had been through with the second male lead.
I thought So Ji Sub was brilliant and endearing, his character was probably the best written of the bunch and wonderfully played.
Kim Hyun Joo as the younger sister (Kim Yun Hee) was appropriately spunky in the beginning and she played her part moderately well - she and So Ji Sub had brilliant chemistry, however I began to roll my eyes at her character the minute she and second lead met. Her character had been good up until then. After that, as much as I liked Kim Hyun Joo - she couldn't really save the affection I once held for the character. I think it was more the writing than anything. As above I mention the wishy-washy feelings, this is where it is.
Kim Ji Ho as the older sister Kim Tae Hee, An okay character I felt, however she could have been so much more. Again - she was brought down by the writing in the latter part of the story, but she did have some stronger moments, more-so I think than Kim Hyun Joo. As above, I wished they had used that history I mentioned above and done something more for her, in the end she was more of a weak fourth wheel for the main love triangle and TBQH I think she deserved more.
Han Jae Suk as Jang Jae Hyul, it doesn't help my review in that I never cared for his character to begin with... I didn't really get him to be honest, there was no sincerity there for me (as a character) I just don't understand how he managed to have two girls (smart as they are meant to be) under his spell.
On the whole, I think there were parts that could have been done better, I liked the story - it kept me to my seat in general and I only fast-forwarded through a few bits.

It's a miss...
I'm a huge fan of older drama but this one missed the mark for me. It was unnecessarily over-complicated for every relationship in the show. For every character and relationship the writing was good enough just to fall flat and flop around episode 11 without being able to recover at all. You may think the reunion plot-line of the sisters is the main focus but unfortunately it was given the bare minimum of attention, even the climax of their reunion was underwhelming. If and only if the ending was slightly tiny bit better. It just felt like this type of ending that they went for was unwarranted. At the end, it was too big of a let down, not a single thing went as I hoped for. At least let the bad guys win just to spike some interest in the drama.I asked my friend, who is an anthropologist, and he confirmed to me that Lee Seon Woo is a newly undiscovered human species; they may resemble conventional modern humans but they differ with one particular characteristic that is their empty cranial cavity. Truly a spectacular discovery, how could they function? A mystery that would never be solved.

Very good at first
The beginning of the drama was great until the middle where it gets messier each time.Beginning: I cried so hard that I would have to go and grab tissue each time. It was very sad, especially with the dad. In my opinion, the he dad played a great role in this drama. I can't forget him at all and will never forget him if I ever feel like watching this drama again. I love the father in this story even though it was short!. Kim Tae-hee was a good and mature big sister though sometimes she can be rough. I really liked her as a kid even to adult. Kim Yun-Hee as a kid was so cute and it sad how she doesn't understand what's happening around her while her big sister understands. The reaction of the two sisters was right on point when they saw their father for the last time laying on the bed.
Middle-end: Everything went crazy when the two sisters grew up. I really hate the plots, so I don't ever want to watch the part again when they grew up. Almost every in the story is the villain, or bad guys in this story. I think Park Chul Woong is one of the nicest guy in this drama. I felt so bad for him. The grandpa wasn't great, but wasn't good either. I did hate the grandpa for ignoring his son illness, but I do get it that he has some anger and pride within him that he wouldn't let go. I do feel bad for the grandpa at the end though. The ending wasn't really as great as the beginning.
The music was very great. I kept on repeating most of the songs in this drama. The instrumental musics is very sad and deep, so wouldn't recommend to those who have depression.
Overall, though the beginning is the saddest part out of all the other parts, it was still the greatest out of the other parts too. You could regret watching this, or not. Really depends as it does bring in a mix feeling.

Story: 8.5/10 It was pretty good. I remembered I enjoyed this drama. It's about I think it was a ring... and the girl was lost from her rich family when she was younger and she always wore this ring on her neck. She lived with this other girl and then when the sister came looking for the younger sister, the girl stole the ring and pretended to be the younger sister. As for the guys, there was romance and I remember some crazy gang scenes in this drama but I don't really remember much so I would recommend that you read a synopsis on this somewhere.
Acting/Cast: 9/10 So Ji Sub is such a good actor. His gang scenes scared me so much LOL. The girls are good actresses too so cast isn't a problem.
Music: 8/10 Don't remember it had any I liked but I didn't hate it so neutral.
Rewatch Value: I rewatched this a ton of times back then lol
Overall: 8.5/10 I recommend. It has a melodrama atmosphere to it. It's a one of a kind drama tbh.
