This drama was a total chore to finish. There are several flaws, main one being the writing. The different aspects of the story/plot do not mesh well at all too many different genres are thrown into the mix (thriller/detective/gangsters/comedy/romance/drama). The thriller aspect with kidnapper storyline just becomes tiresome halfway through, with the usual moronic police investigation/constant mistakes in capturing the uninspired villain. I found the comedy scenes totally unfunny and embarrassing. The romance was ruined for me by the coy and overly cutesy acting by Park Bo Young. I am not a fan of ayego. My biggest problem with this drama was the main female lead Do Bong Soon. I disliked her thoroughly and cannot understand how others found her likable and described her as an admirable strong woman. For me she is nothing but a two-faced, passive aggressive bully. She casually assaults people and then acts all sweet and innocent as if butter wouldn't melt. I found her hypocrisy a total turn off. She is smug and rude to her superiors at work. She bullied and assaulted people everywhere she went, if it had been a man doing these things everyone would have been up in arms . By the end of the drama I started to dislike the actress as well - as it is her portrayal not just the writing that i found so unpleasant. Other things I did not like:- - the contrived love triangle which went nowhere and made me question why it was introduced it in the first place. - the way DBS mother treated her husband was totally unacceptable. If I were him I would have divorced that useless harridan in an instant. - the main male lead's besotted act went rapidly from cute to cringe. - the cliched depiction of the gay character. All in all an utter disappointment I had looked forward to this drama as the 3 main leads were all on my like list but after this debacle I will have to rethink my stance.
