Good vs Evil vs Annoying
This is a typical daily drama where the main pairing battle through adversities left and right before they can be together. What is clear here are the battle lines drawn: The good include Gwangjun, Yongi, the grandpa, Sejun, Mirinae , and others. The evil ones are High Heels and Haemi and their minions. The annoying ones are the mother of Haemi and the stepmother of Yongi. I am curious to find out the evil secrets that High Heels is hiding _ I hope she gets punished in the end. Overall, good acting by the cast, although those two mothers are really over the top annoying.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Annoying Side Characters
I swear, I've never been more annoyed by all the side characters in a drama like this one. Seriously.I just wanted to first mention that in the beginning, we have to put up with a widowed single mother who has to put up with her in-laws, especially the awful mother-in-law. She's so verbally abusive at first, that I just wanted to bitch slap her, and then we have to watch the grandmother treat that same mother-in-law like crap too. So the grandmother treats her daughter-in-law like crap and then that daughter treats her daughter-in-law like crap. Like this stupid cycle that goes on and on uselessly. Both these two in-laws are so annoying. Especially the grandmother who coddles her unfilial son.
-All the women I feel are stupid or bitchy on this show. The FL is a doormat at home and at work, who can't even open a water bottle, her cousin-in-law, Hae Mi, is a stalker who can't handle rejection from anyone and abuses her power, there's Hae Mi's mother who's pretty much clueless and useless, I've already mentioned the in-law grandmother and mother relationship, the FL's sister , Do Young, who crushes on her sister's (the FL) best friend's brother Eun Ho so bad that at one point, she leaves her own niece unsupervised in the park. But luckily the FL arrives on time. The ML's stepmother, VP Cha Yoon Hee is of course the villainess, the VP of the company, who hates both the ML and the FL. Her fashion sense is atrocious btw. Then there's the FL's best friend, Eun Jin, who quits her stable job when she gets sexually harassed at work by her supervisor.
-The FL should've left her in-laws the minute her husband died. Like she should've run, even with the baby in her tummy.
-The straw that broke the camel's back for was Do Sik, the FL's brother-in-law. That guy is so f*cking useless that I dislike his character so much. The things he did to his sister-in-law were completely outrageous and uncalled for. He's so good for nothing. He can't cook, isn't smart, and certainly isn't a good brother-in-law. 47 episodes in and he's totally useless. He's can't study and is unemployed and doesn't help at all. Not at home and certainly not in the family restaurant. He mooches off his own family or the FL's best friend's family. I get so annoyed every time he comes onscreen.
-The FL hides the secret that she's a single mom and the ML hides the secret that he's the president's son and rich and the writers had to go and ruin it by letting the most annoying side characters reveal their secrets so they hear it from someone else. So. F*cking. Annoying. I mean the way their secrets were revealed was so tactless and by side characters we hate.
-I feel like all the men are coddled on this show while all the women are making all the unnecessary drama. Then of course, there's also that one jerk co-worker, Mr. Heo, that hates the FL and treats the FL like crap but kisses *ss with the ML as soon as he finds out that he's the president's son. There's also the ML's father who allows his evil second wife, VP Cha to do what she wants and he barely tries to protect his own firstborn son from his wife's evil machinations.
I'm watching this off and on between times when I have nothing else to watch so I'm taking my time. I think overall, I would've liked this show better with a different FL actress. I'm not too fond of this actress for some reason.
(UPDATE)
I never got back into this but after reading another review, i guess nothing changed. Don't bother wasting your time on this one.

this show is a headache
like I said this show is a headache not only is it the most basic story but it's also one of those stories that just make you want to push the screen with the love triangle with the villain with the big big secret it just a headache i wasn't going to do any spoilers but the only thing I can say is that the final episodes where the most annoying one the fact that they had to make that little girl sick was the most annoying thing that any author could do .Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Not worth it
So far I've only watched 116 eps. It started off so good and then the writer/writers botched the entire drama. It became hogwash and frustrating.I rated this 10/10 at first, but have to redo it because it got so bad.
None of the evil, despicable, vicious, vile people got punished the way they should. Everyone was forgiven.
This could have been 1 of the few daily dramas that would have been 8 or 9/10, if the writers were good. The potential is there for the writers, as could be seen from 1-70 eps. But the mindset is pure bull-sh*t after that.
Love the chemistry between KJ and YI. They were supposed to be the leads, but HM and SJ ended up with all the best parts, so HM and SJ are the real leads. Even the side actors got better roles than KJ and YI.

Enjoyable
I'm watching this drama and "The Witches Game" ("TWG") together. I like both but at this moment I prefer "The Love in Your Eyes" ("TLIYE"), it's what I want to check out first when I wake up in the mornings.Maybe because TWG has too many DNA result switching and the antagonist are way too evil ? she has no redeeming factor at all?
The antagonists in TLIYE are also evil but at least they're still human!
Anyway, ML is very nice. He rarely gets angry and he trusts FL with all his might. So that's nice to watch (I'm over misunderstanding).
It's a 120 episodes drama so there bound to be lots of side characters storyline too. In my case, I don't care for them and I fast forwarded most of the side characters storyline. So following the main leads story everyday for about 10-15 minutes is pretty nice, not too time taxing and keeps me curious! The flow moves appropriate (with progress on each episode) for a 120 episode drama.
