Mediocre at best?

As a fan of Song Ji-Hyo I was so underwhelmed by her written character in this drama. She herself is a independent woman who has a strong personality and stands by who she is, we've seen this all in the series Running Man. Knowing this made it easy to connect her to the role of a strong mother raising her child alone.

But watching this and seeing her acting as Noh Ae-jung made it feel so out of place, it was like she was forced to portray all the qualities she already has. This made it awkward to relate and want the best for the female lead and made Noh Ae-jung seemed insincere and very selfish, past episode 5 I started to dislike her character entirely.

Going onto the story, I didnt enjoy it at all (besides some of the side stories). I watched it to the end strictly because of SJH . The plot had so much potential and it didnt hit any of the marks for me, more like dipped the end of a finger in several different themes? Betrayal, love and romance, slice of life, school life, teen drama, and action? Sadly every single one failed. It feels like they tried to cram in as much as they could to make up for the lack the story seemed to have. I actually enjoyed the side "romance plots" more than the main one, and considering that they were "side stories" says a lot in itself. There was so much going on I think it was smothered.

This drama didnt hit any notes for me and sadly I wouldnt recommend this to anyone.
