Almost EVERYONE in this show is a nutjob

This show will open your eyes. Really, I mean it. This show has the most unexpected plot twists ever. The story is about rich adults, who can do anything for power, more money and their children and how they get involved in a murder case. And that's only the beginning.
When I watched the first episode, I could actually feel my blood pressure rising because of the evil characters in this show. But then I got so intrigued that I decided to watch the second episode as well and that folks, is how I finished the entire season in less than four days.
I do admit that this show will make you go mad but it's so entertaining. Both the good guys and the bad guys are RICH as FUCK and SMART as FUCK. The moment you feel like you are catching on with the story and think that you have actually figured out what the writers are about to do next; YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT AT ALL. And most likely, you'll never figure out.
And I think that's the beauty of the show? I dunno.
One character that I truly liked and didn't get mad at throughout the show was Shim Su Ryeon. That baddie. She is the definition of smart and sexy. I ADORED HER. The way Lee Ji Ah portrays her is classic (also Lee Ji Ah is so beautiful. I couldn't stop looking at her throughout the show)
I didn't love Rona (I really wanted to though) I loved her boldness and the fact that she stands up for herself is so impressive but there were a few moments when she just wouldn't try to understand the situation (times when she would yell at her mom without giving her a chance to explain)
One thing that I really loved was Seok Hoon's character development throughout the show. I didn't like him at all in the beginning but I love how he's starts being reasonable and a better person in the show and also the fact that he realises his mistakes and repents for it.
I was shocked to see Jenny's character development at the end too (looking forward to that in season 2)
I really recommend this show. It's good. It'll get on your nerves, that's for sure so I advise you to forward ten seconds of the video whenever you feel like you can't take the angry inside you anymore (I did that too and I really enjoyed it)
Also, SBS deleted some important clips from the show so that they keep the episode in its initial time but if you happen to be interested in the kids storyline more then you can watch those deleted scenes in YouTube.
