Saved by the cast
The story started strong but became repetitive. In almost every episode, we're reminded that Ah-Jin is selfish, manipulative, and arrogant, with her childhood constantly used to justify her behavior. Despite the show's attempts to make her seem complex, she rarely shows any real depth. The only time she surprised me was in the episode with In-gang's grandmother, where I thought she might finally show some remorse, but that potential quickly disappeared.
The acting was the drama's saving grace and kept it engaging. The soundtrack, however, felt a bit heavy-handed every time Ah-Jin started scheming, the dramatic violins kicked in. I wouldn't watch it again, but it was entertaining enough.
