The fashion in this show inspired me a lot. Kim Hee Sun's would fluctuate between simple, graceful, playful, pompous, flat out extravagant or snappy.. all the while maintaining elegance and sophistication (as required from the movie's pov of "upper-class"). Kim Sun Ah's transformation was actually relatable if anything! I really liked the fashion for not only the leads, but many side characters too and this quickly became one of my main motivations to keep watching this show (which might be peculiar for others but hey if fashion trends interest you give this a watch!).

The plot was okay. It got predictable at times. The chemistry between the main ladies, the transformation/adjustment of Kim Sun Ah's character into a different class and the wisdom of Lee Chae Mi's character Ahn Ji Hu were the highlights of this drama for me personally. The cheating and all that was difficult to watch but it should be. The whole mystery element of 'whodunnit' was way too stretched by the last episode and I wasn't happy with who it turned out to be. The motive was weaker in comparison to other suspects and I felt like the drama was just trying to over glorify and humanize everyone we were supposed to hate by that point. There were plot holes and things left unexplained, hence it's safe to say please don't expect too much from the plot.

As far as music goes, I felt like at times it made the situations appear less serious or more jovial than they were supposed to be. It made watching the cheating tolerable but also reduced the impact of certain events (which I won't mention because no one likes spoilers but if you watch the show you'll understand).

This was a little difficult for me to watch just because of the way the plot was carried out. It took me a while to finish but I kept at it. The casting was amazing! This is my first time watching Kim Hee Sun or Kim Sun Ah, but holy smokes both ladies did an amazing job! I confused Kim Hee Sun with Nam Sang Mi initially but I'm so glad to have come across her! She's a top notch actress, so versatile and elegant! Given her talent though, by the end of the show I was more frustrated with the way the show was carried out. Their full potentials weren't really explored and a lot more depth to the main 2 characters could have been added via more of their interactions. "The big transformation that never went anywhere" for example - just felt half-hearted and half-finished. That was my biggest complaint.

All things said, the comedic relief was really well constructed. This was a light hearted mystery show with great actors and a beautiful integration of side stories that made you really think about the 'upper vs lower' class situation in general. Also, these are just my reasons to like/dislike the show, you don't have to agree or disagree but I'm open to discussions about it!
