A simple tale of a rich-poor young female children who are in the same school in the end both found out that they were switched at birth. Then the story unfolds to something that is heartbreaking. You will later on see the struggles of the 2 female children and how they both live their separate lives, especially the poor female child.

It is a emotional heavy roller coaster experience as it heavily focused on the character that's played by Song Hye Kyo & the rivalry of the 2 men that are both her love. Her life ended tragically and in the end (spoiler) the last person who got to spend time with her is Joon-suh. It was a tale of family drama at first but grew towards to melo-romance in the end. The forbidden romance was built up nicely especially towards the second half and the anger/resentment of the original female child had interesting development. Though how i wish the family dynamic was played alot better.

The performances that left a good impression in me were Song Hye Kyo & Won Bin. They simply understood their character & the thought of grief.

Karma

When rich kids are too lazy to study so they cheat off on the house help's daughter & things go wrong especially when you're parents are involved.
This will be your first ever take on melodrama with a taste of makjang plot.

This is better than i thought and the story is actually quite fast-paced. I would personally recommend this base on the story, the acting though doesn't impress me as much. The plot is decent, the usual moral theme of good vs bad. Though i did not like the finale especially with what happened to the ML & how they dealt with the car case during the beginning of it, its a very typical trope to add but i had to remind myself this is 2000. The male villain is also a leach and the FL villain made me more irritated for going w/ him. Then they finally revealed the proxy exam incident. I never thought they would go back to their original plot. It seemed at first they diverted and focused on the love line but now that i realized it, it made more sense because itll cause a huge effect to the FL villain later on. Though i thought the mayor dad shouldnt be arrested but the daughter. She's getting away from all of it. Her parents are effected by the mistakes she made. In all of this, im a bit disappointed that the FL didnt fully take responsibility and man up to tell the truth.
