I'm terrified because i don't know if ill just lose my memory or who I am entirely. But i don't want to lose you

Great storyline, and to think one of the directors was also involved in the making of another drama, which I am fond of, Little Women, I expect it to be this grand in terms of scale. It is a story about a third-generation heiress, a "chaebol," caught in an infatuation with a regular employee. It started with just pure love. All twists and turns unfold as they handle work-related conflicts and family pressure to the point of a relationship with no return. The couple finds their way back to each other as they go through even more overwhelming problems. Getting in love and even getting married for the "third time," as they say.

The common question comes in again: is the storyline predictable? I beg to differ just on some parts. The genres and themes like this are entertaining, and they capture my interest. If you like Korean drama OGs or G.O.A.Ts such as Sky Castle, The World of the Married, and Mine, you would love this one. War on places and roles in a corporation, sucking out money from all sides, greed with power and influence—if you are looking for themes like this, this drama would satisfy your needs. I enjoyed every episode. The characters were diverse; some had undergone character changes, and some were loyal to what they stood for. They executed their roles very well, especially how they maneuvered "Amazing Grace," Private Secretary Ko Jeong-A, played by Kim Joo-ryoung, the Ajhumma we all have an ick for. She was switching sides so fast that we couldn't help but curse her every time she appeared on screen. But then again, humanity prevailed, and we see her being accepted back into the Hong family. Moreover, I could not stress enough how both Kim Soohyun and Kim Jiwoon excellently played their characters; I certainly felt warmth and joy every time they interacted. You could feel shifts in emotions from anger to periods of intense love. If I were to have a conversation with them in real-time, I would ask how they managed to pull out those crying and passionate scenes so well that not a single scene felt dry or better than the others.

The drama was so good, that it left me with a question to ponder for myself: given that I am young and have never been in a real-deal relationship before, would "lady luck" or even God let me experience the same sweet feelings of love as Ms. Hong Hae-in and Baek Hyun-woo showed in the drama?.
