I remember watching this drama a long time ago, but I didn't finish it because I didn't like Makjang very much at the time. I still don't like it, but since it was a very popular drama at the time and it had nothing to do with it, I watched it.

I really have a hate/love relationship with Maroo. At first he is a complete son of a bitch, he didn't care at all, not even if he was extremely cruel or used any method to fulfill revenge on him. I loved Eun Ki in the first part, she was despotic but also kind, extremely intelligent but unfortunately she fell into Maroo's trap, and she ended up falling in love with him. Which I think was her worst downfall. Later, thanks to her lack of memory (this didn't really bother me much because in the Makjang, too many exaggerated things tend to happen) she becomes a docile woman. I wish she didn't end up with Maroo in the end, he really didn't deserve her and after all the hurt she had done to him on purpose.

Regarding Jae Hee, I hated her from the beginning to the end. I really tried to figure out her thoughts but I could never get an answer as to what she really intended to do or what she was feeling.

I think I'm very hard on Maroo, but honestly if it were me, I wouldn't have forgiven him. I don't know, maybe I would have preferred to get back at him a little.

The performances were excellent, as was the OST. You won't find anything new if you watch this, but it serves to pass the time and has actually aged quite well. What I didn't like was the rushed ending. But hey, it's a Makjang, I couldn't wait much.

I would see again? Probably not. I love Song Joong Ki and if you watch this you can see that her acting skills are on another level. But since I didn't like him character, even though he played it wonderfully, I wouldn't be able to watch it again.
