Story: The Story sounded very dramatic and I love melodramas. Almost every Episode of this drama is amazing and has suspense. This drama is not the typical 'Revenge' Drama like many others. It is about a detective who investigates a murder case which leads him to the discovering of his past. He discovers the real identity of his father and has to realize whose real son he is. Over the top he has a woman he loves but he can't show his feelings. Even though there are some Aspects I don't understand, the story is really well written. I mean, why don't remember both of the Eunjoongs, who they were as children? Amnesia? It seems to be a mystery.

Acting: I have to say, that this is one of the dramas, where I liked 99% of the Acting. It is one of the few dramas, where I changed my Mind about almost all of the characters. I want to start with the two Men, who have the same name.

Firstly, Kim Jaewon, who played Ha Eunjoong. HEJ is the detective who finds aut about is real family and the past of his 'father'. He is silent person who lovess his job. He knows who are his enemys. He loves his father and his younger sister. Kim Jaewon showed us a excellent performance. I felt with him and with his character and I loved him, but hated him, too. I think this performance was his best, even though I didn't watched all of his dramas.

Secondly, Ki Taeyoung, who played Jang Eunjoong. JEJ is the one who grew up as the Son, wo was abducted. KTY plays this character excellent. His Life is a rollercoaster. He followed his mother and became an Attorney who loves his mother dearly. Until he discovers the Truth. The sad Aspect is, that I wanted to hate him so much...but I pitied his character from the beginning til the end. I couldn't hate him. He was innocent. I mean he lived as another person, loved his family so much...and suddenly his life collapses... Yes, I think he was the saddest person in this drama. KTY did an amazing job.

The next amazing Acting comes from Shin Eunkyung. She was perfect in her Role as the mother who lost her beloved child and as the result she did something unforgivable. In my Opinion, it was a good deed, but her reason was selfish. She missed her real son every second of her Life. But she loved her 'fake' son very much. Like she used to say, she had two sons. When her real son was kidnapped, she gained another son. SEK is an excellent Actress. Her performance was extraordinary and her chemistry with her two sons was very good, too.

Jo Yoonhee as Woo Ahmi was okay. I liked her character more than the Acting. I am not a big fan of Jo Yoonhee, but she isn't on my Blacklist. Her Acting is not too bad...It's just okay.

Jo Jaehyun acted as the Man who abducted the son of his enemy. I know he did something you shouldn't forgive, but compared to the things Jang Taeha did, Ha Myunggeuns Sin was very small.

Park Sangmin acted as Jang Taeha, the enemy of almost all of the other Characters. He did a great job, too. His character was the only one I hated from the beginning til the end.

The supporting Actors like Han Groo or Kim Gyuri were great, too.

Music: The OST is one of the saddest and best I've ever listened to.
In Conclusion, the drama is one of the best melodrama I have ever seen.
