Worst writing for a female lead; many unlikable characters; maybe worth watching for Son Ho Jun

Did we see the limit in Song Ji Hyo's acting abilities here - or was the writing of many characters in this show really that bad? Show pushed too hard for laughs and fake drama. Maybe still worth watching for Son Ho Jun's huge versatility. Whether you put him in comedy or drama, he excels.

It's not really a matter of the story being unlikely - because for me it's in the telling. This show's biggest problem was a matter of tone. It just didn't know what mood to strike. This resulted in a very strident characterization of the female lead, and cartoony characters like the Chinese mafia gang member, the successful actor Ryu Jin, and Song Ji Jyo's female rival. What a waste of the cast. Too many unlikable characters.

Too bad about this story really. It had too many subplots going on that watered down the story and diverted from the central, worthwhile plot - how did single mom manage all those years without the father of her child.
