If you want a heartfelt drama where the leads grow into better people, this is not it. The writer seems to misunderstand the roles of a career woman who can balance both work and home lives.
EP 1 started our promising with the FL explaining her name and how she has a photographic memory, is smart and never fails. I was hoping for a women empowerment series and this drama failed miserably.
Despite being supposedly a really good financial analyst, she is unable to analyze her personal life and path to marriage and motherhood. I get that financial analyst deals only with numbers and may be unable to communicate, so if this was the case, the writer should have written her narrative like so. She is built up as a career oriented woman who is on her way up. However, her female superior doesn't even like her initially and basically ignored her. I did not understand this arc in the story. She also does not have any friends at all other than one co-worker.
The ML is a key player at their company and supposed shine at his work. He is the more balanced individual of the 2. Also, he has a fun side as he is seen playing video games. He is also more sensitive to her needs than she is to his.
The romance started very early on in the series. Nothing really memorable. Then she gets pregnant which led to hiding the marriage from their employment. He had a master plan to get her a new job and make motherhood less stressful for her, but she insists on staying at the company. Even after finding out that he had to pay $3M if he resigns, she still forced him to resign. Where was the smart financial analyst that she claimed to be? Further, if she is so smart and great, wouldn't she be able to prove herself at another company. She's a rookie and he's like the #2 at their company.
FL also had total disregard for her health and well being of her unborn child. At 7 months pregnant, she climbed several flights of stairs despite feeling unwell. This led to getting a C-section and the child being born pre-maturely. He was on a business trip and was blamed for being unavailable at her time of need. He was working to make ends meet. At this time, he has no money to pay for the admittance fee to transfer his son to a specialized hospital and had to borrow from his mother. Despite knowing that they have financial problems, she insists on getting a hotel instead of staying at home and driving to the hospital. Again, how is she a qualified financial analyst who is supposedly really good at her job? The money to the hotel should be reserve to pay for the son's hospital and medical bills.
Being raised by a single mother and full of hatred for an absentee dad, FL was very quick to force a divorce and keep the child from the husband.
The story is filled with holes and incomplete developments. It did not warrant 40 episodes. The FL did not grow at all during the 39 episodes and then in episode 40 she becomes understanding to let the ML be a part of the 2nd pregnancy when he asked for a trial period to start over. And they ended the series with both being keynote speakers to talk about how they relied on each other to succeed in both home and work life.
I only watched the entire series because I was hoping for redemption and some kind of epiphany from the FL. Woman Empowerment! Failed.
Tons of misunderstanding that led to nowhere. Lots were created by FL's mother, but the ML's mother contributed as well. Of course, a lot by FL for her unreasonable thought process and demands. ML sacrificed a lot, but he still had communication issues.
Nothing really resolved until episode 40. The story takes place within a year and a half (except episode 40). It took the ML years to get to where his career as an upper executive. She was 25 and a rookie who just finished her probation period and got hired on full time... and within months, she got promoted as a Director while she had a period of maternity leave. That's unrealistic.
Kudos to the actors for portraying characters of a terrible written script. Side stories were more interesting and some supporting actors were more likeable.
