I loved this series from start to finish. Good vs. evil is a universal theme and it was delicious just waiting for these horrible people to meet their karmic ends.

I typically dislike Song Hye-kyo‘s fish mouth acting but I have to give it to her in this role. She was excellent. It’s a shame they kept making her pretty by covering her scar makeup and she lost a considerable amount of weight for the role which spoke to her commitment.

My favourite was Lim Ji-yeon as Park Yeon-jin. In every scene she was so over the top mesmerizing. I just hated her so much. Actors that can make me scream at my television get a special kudos. I also loved the complexity of Kang Hyeon-name’s character as an abused domestic worker. Perfectly portrayed by Yeom Hye-ran. Her cute smiles and laughs. The violence was so hard to watch, but I think the director didn’t trivialize it or simply it.

The weakest part of the series was the love story between Moon Dong-eun and Joo Yeo-jeong. It would have been a plausible platonic relationship. With both their psychological challenges it would make sense. . Screenwriter Kim Eun-sook wrote Guardian: The Lonely and Great God so there seems to always be some expectation of romance in her dramas.

Overall the series was close to perfection.
