My thoughts for this drama are scattered all over the place. There were things about it that I really liked and much that I did not. I knew this drama wouldn't be ground breaking plot-wise from the summary, but I just wanted to watch something safe where I would get closure at least since the last two dramas I watched (Marry Him If You Dare and Skip Beat) did not have that. The story indeed was typical for a Korean drama (a rags to riches girl who falls in love and a hidden secret from the past may ruin things for her). Even though the comedic parts were laugh-out-loud/rewind funny, they were far and few in what seemed to be a long and never-ending drama despite only having 16 episodes. The good-looking actors definitely helped lessen the pain of watching some of the dragged out, or even unnecessary scenes that I had to sit through since I don't like having unfinished dramas. Indeed they were eye-pleasing. Song Seung Hun has many good angles to his face while having a nice build and deep voice to match. I'll be honest, when I started this drama I had to rewind some parts that I missed the subtitles to due to his mesmerizing looks. He was especially handsome when he got angry and shouted (but I soon got over this since he kept using this technique in his acting and it lost its effect). Also, he started to look like Felix the Cat to me; don't get me wrong, he's still beautiful. Kim Tae Hee, Rain's girlfriend (one of the reasons I wanted to watch this drama), is one of the prettier (not cute) leading ladies I've seen and could very well play the part of the other woman that often has a more cookie-cutter type of beauty. Ryu Soo Young, if you cover up his sunken cheeks, is actually one of these good-looking characters along with little Gi Kwang. It's no surprise that these characters then (with the excepting of Gi Kwang) could play what I perceived to be scheming, self-interested characters who were not really searching for love or a means to protect their families despite what they state in the drama. It reminded me of My Name Is Kim Sam Soon without the script and what I believe the Heirs will be like (beautiful, selfish people fighting over love and money) since I haven't seen it yet. After the drama got boring (by episode 2 to my surprise), it was this perception that helped to make the drama entertaining for me in parts that I found to have unintended cruel humor apart from the far and few intended jokes. The first episode actually had a good ending and made me believe that the main character really did care for her father to the point that I was almost in tears, Afterwards, however, she became the most selfish, whiny and spoiled character I've ever seen on a Kdrama (including side characters meant to play this part for a comedic effect). Her unintended apathy towards people in her desire to get revenge along with the random moments of pretend sympathy were more bone-chilling than even Yejin's A-list acting for a villain. Despite not being a fan of Yejin prior to watching her on this, I became a fan of hers and not only sympathized, but rooted for her little character living in an unjust society. (This is weird since I never saw her as cute even with her aegyo in Family Outing until I saw her character here which is supposed to be a villain but seems to be the most logical and caring person of the bunch even when others don't care for her). The selfishness of all four main characters was part of the reason I was unable to see the romance at all despite their cute individual expressions. This left me very confused at some parts as to what was happening in the relationships since many parts seemed to be random. The story got very entertaining again (actual and not in-my-head entertaining) around maybe episode 9-11ish then quickly died down again. Surprisingly the last episode, though not great, made me happy (this could also be due to how excited I was to finish this drama). I would not recommend this drama unless you are very creative and have a sarcastic/ cruel sense of humor. It might just be my taste but it was excruciating to the point that it was hard to even sit down long enough to finish this. The actors were in no way the problem and I would watch other dramas with them, especially Yejin, Seung Hun, Lee Seol's mother (who by the way was very cute in this drama and reminded me of my own mother), and of course, little Gi Kwang. I might watch Tae Hee's IRIS too since I like Baek Ji Young's OST to it.
