Even if I don’t usually see long daily drama, this one didn’t let me drop after reaching ep 20 even I kinda started to hate it. The plot is well organized to make you hooked while slowly going through events.
I am currently watching it so, I don’t know what kind of ending to come, but i don't think i will be disappointed.

Alright
Great performance from Yoon So Yi, I love her bug face. This was much better than expected. Compared to the writer's and director's other project "Love Twist" this is definitely better. However, there were many problems holding it back other than the usual drag of the 2nd half of all dailies. There were a disgusting amount of time-skips which made it a big turn off especially with that last time-skip of 3 years which also led to a cold ending. This is a great example of what not to do with time-skips. The other big problem was rape! They went through the worst possible way to set up the story. Once again, it's acceptable in Kdramas to rape a guy while being passed out then get pregnant to force him into marriage and create plethora of subsequent shenanigans. I've seen this maneuver repeated step by step so many times and Korean writers keep getting away with it! Anyway, the drama is decent despite the big misses.Was this review helpful to you?
The ending left me feeling hollow!
I found the ending to be quite disappointing. I couldn't bring myself to support the main couple; in fact, I ended up disliking them! As the story concluded, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Choi Kwang Il. He seemed to be the true victim among the entire cast. "A Place in the Sun" is a complex tale encompassing love, romance, deception, envy, jealousy, secrets, pride, arrogance, greed, anger, frustration, joy, and misery. I'm puzzled by the idea of living with someone solely to make their life miserable. I particularly disliked the character Shi Wol. Her intent for revenge was destined to fail from the start. All she achieved was deceiving a man who loved her and was innocent of his father's wrongdoing. In the end...well like I said it left me hollow!Was this review helpful to you?
