Not A Typical Romance
Before I start, I just have to say that the FL, when dressed in her red and black clothing, reminds me of an anime character. Now that this is off my mind…Cons:
Some of the characters were overacted to the extreme. The evil stepmother, the evil sister, the self-absorbed sister who wanted to slap everyone, the angry crazy crown prince. Everyone seemed to have a penchant for yelling to prove how angry they were with everyone they encountered. Although their characters were more sinister in nature, they were always angry even when their scheming minds should have led them to a level of calm before the storm.
There was a lot of information the viewer had to put together to make sense of scenes that should have been explained, but probably left on the censors cutting room floor.
The FL’s animosity toward the ML right out after he comes to her home also leaves me scratching my head a bit. If she’s trying to blend into the background why was her character so antagonistic to the law-man?
The 2nd ML gave away the plot to have him fall in love with the FL way too soon. I would say that is the fault partially of the script. There should have been some time for him to struggle with the way his feelings would impact the way people saw him, his ‘sister’ and the family business rather than walking around with puppy dog eyes around her. His role was kinda creepy.
The ML and FL needed to have more time together. One day they were enemies, next day in love. Probably more cut during the review process.
There was no resolution with the evil stepmother. She was a driving force that was put in prison and the poof - she was never mentioned again.
And, while the two evil sisters were living on the streets, there could have been more development of the self-absorbed sister. She’s there, then a brief glimpse of her gathering coins being tossed at her by another angry girl, and then hardly anything after that until the end. More could have been done with her character to contrast her learning about her egotistic behavior in comparison to the middle sister and her constant manipulations and angry outbursts.
Pros:
Once I got past the disjointed and bizarre first few episodes, the drama actually started coming to life. And even though some parts were a bit draggy, the pace was pretty consistent. There were a few holes, but overall it was a good story.
The acting - even the perpetually angry people - was done well.

Hate love triangle
Not so special.A girl who deceived by her family with a change identity she took revenge from them but not in cruel manner but taught them a lesson.
I hate love triangle when both the persons have genuine feeling for a girl and in addition to they did a lot for her.
I hope for second season based on ending.

Interesting storyline with interesting characters
This drama has some interesting aspects to it, I would definitely recommend this for anyone who enjoys watching vengeance-themed dramas, but if that's the case, you might as well stop watching after ep 13, when the revenge arc ends and the treasure map arc gets the spotlight.The FL possesses a strong yet stubborn character. Despite being blamed for her father's death, and narrowly escaping death a few times, she still chose to continue her life strong, doing anything she would to bring justice to those who had made her suffer. She spent her "second life" avenging her father (and herself), rather than playing the life of the 2ML's sister. She constantly ignored her "brother" as he tried to stop her from her revenge plan, but still chose to stay by his side whenever she could.
The ML is a rather interesting character. I have to say, it is quite unsettling for me to see a general (out of all people) persuing the FL, but it is what it is. He is also fairly stubborn, as he is willing to do anything so that the FL to fall in love with him, even though the 2ML disagrees with this choice. His mission to find the hidden treasure was a bit confusing to me at first, but it became more clear during the later episodes when it was revealed that Prince Yi was secretly on the search for the treasure for himself. In the end, after narrowly escaping certain death himself, he and the FL get together and get married, which ends with a note given to them (not quite sure what that was all about).
Overall, the drama was great, with two separate storylines in one. Some people have negative opinions because of that, but I have to say it is worth the watch, especially with the twist in the last two episodes.

real nitty gritty doesn't begin till EP 13, like lots of skipping!!
Dunno where to begin....This face-trope was interesting in the beginning, as it sets up the premise for revenge...
But, revenge never really came...
Evil sisters, too many, are at the center of this familial dysfunctional mess of jealousy, greed and utter madness...
I came for the main leads' CP & chemistry, while trying to ignore the big total mess of uneven, ludicrous plots running amok...
I had to skip over many bad plots/acting from the evil sisters & wicked mother...
This drama would've been way concise if it were just 12 EPs of 10-min run each, like I'd prefer to watch it in FULL VERSION real time, just to enjoy the CP pairing alone, but it's just way too long-winded....
Do NOT waste your time lest U can afford to skip around, get the gist, and move along as quickly as possible!

Frustrating to watch
I liked the premise and thought the identity change thing was pretty convincing. I liked her relationship with her brother.BUT: The male lead is just a bully at this point. He's in charge of catching criminals and has an extended misunderstanding arc where he wrongly suspects the female lead because her various revenge-related rendezvous coincides with the activities of a genuine criminal. He's absolutely brutal towards her and she can't do much to fight back other than the occasional snark. HE isn't even a smart man, judging by how shit he is at extracting information even after resorting to torture. Meanwhile, SHE isn't exactly bright either, mainly because the plot needs her to be the reckless one so she could get caught and give the male lead an opportunity to assert his dominance. Yikes, I'm not looking forward to them eventually becoming a couple. Neither am I looking forward to watching her seek her revenge, so far, she seems to be good at two things, (1) using her newfound station to bully those who wronged her in her previous identity and (2) enduring abuse from the male lead 'interrogator' until her new brother shows up and gets absolutely furious at the man
