At episode 6 of rewatch and I see why I ranked this so low, female lead is 25 worked hard her whole life but never matured??? Her characterization was bipolar or should I say schizophrenic. Also the last few episodes were full of exposition. But the lead actress was beautifully endearing.
I guess this will be another frustrating drama with stupid near misses. Biggest problem with long dramas with thin storylines is every storyline has to be artificially stretched out.
Watch at your own risk. I suspect the screenwriter, director and a few of the lead actors decided to come together and end their careers. The male lead actor for sure must have been in some sort of scandal or the lead actress sucks at selecting projects at least. And toxic parent of the century goes to 🥁 “Hong Baek Hee” my new favorite bad guy, she even has 5 goons working for her. SML is really clueless and willfully ignorant going to mom for help, he doesn’t deserve FL. Clueless chairman award goes to 🥁”Choi Jin Bok”, plus I’m fuzzy on what the company actually does.. The true stars of this drama are the secretaries, and the chairman’s cook/house-lady.
I’m rewatching this and I now know why I didn’t give the show high marks, the ML is written as a self absorbed, emotional and clueless. But the writer gets high marks for portraying the devolution of the SFL to an antagonist one of better written arcs I’ve seen.
wow, a very crazy summary of the first two episodes but I beg to differ.first of all the younger brother didn't…
“A Knife in the Back” implies intent and premeditation, none of which is present in this situation. Also SML’s motivation could be called into question since he knew about the operation.
This seems like a copy of “Bad Love” FL outspoken, dowdy and emotional. ML competent and helping FL from the background . SFL comically devious. SML cold and emotionless . Beverage company swapped for broadcasting one. FL’s mom swapped for adoptive dad. Chairman swapped for Chairwoman.
This show commits the worst sin, pretends to be good in the beginning then shows it’s true colors when you have past the point off no dropping, forcing you to finish this atrocious show.
Don’t bother with this show, bad writing, bad acting, you never get invested with the leads. I couldn’t care less what happened to the characters, worst of all BORING. KDrama sucks at “Comedy of Errors”, if you ain’t Shakespeare or haven’t properly studied him just don’t, for Pete’s sake, So basically, no one communicates with each other. Fiancé has no idea where the in-laws live? He brags about her shows ultrasound but never shows her picture? Another fiancé doesn’t call his sister to go home and watch his newborn? Mother tells her son nothing happened last night the woman is alive? A so called chairman doesn’t know what’s happening around him? Also your son asks you a simple yes or no question “did you buy my fiancé’s family house” and you don’t answer? A family is caring towards a stranger and let’s him move in but they don’t have a single family picture with a dead daughter/sister? I guess zero communication is this writers go to plot device.
After watching Jung Yoo Min in “Perfect Marriage Revenge”, “Red Balloon”, “Unasked Family” I have theorized that an actress’s fame is directly proportional to the likability of the roles she selects. I hope she selects more likable characters., because she’s in my top 10 of Korean actresses.

I’ve always warned my 2 daughters beware of weak men that force themselves into your friend zone.
