Suzy Bae is a really good actor!
The scenario isn't anywhere close to being realist, snowball chance in the Lake of Fire this could have actually happened, hah hah, but then again truth is often stranger than fiction!I only watched it to see Bae again after watching "Doona" as her acting in that was really good. So was the male lead, Yang Se Jong, who played Lee Won Joon, apart from when he cried. I don't think Yang has cried a lot in his life, but not to say crying is an easy part of acting and sometimes it's due to the director.
While the story is unreal and a bit dark, it's worth a watch IMO. I prefer comedies personally, and think, at least from the very limited exposure thus far, Korean sense of humor in movies and dramas more aligns with American than it does with Japanese. This drama is short (6 episodes or the extended one, this is 8) and has interesting characters.

I watched just to see Kim Yoo Jung's smile
For me the mom, played by Kim Sun Young of Choi Dae Hyun, was the most hilarious character. Her speaking volume was quite loud compared to everyone else, but she provided laughs in every episode. The constant Yeon Joo-shi thing got old after a while, do Koreans really use the honorific "shi" after a person's name when they are close as the Dae Hyun and Yeon Joo were portrayed? But really IMO Kim Yoo Jung stole the show. That smile of hers could move mountains and melt glaciers, LOL!I only started watching K-dramas quite recently, fed up with Murican TV and movies, which tend to have bad messages, mind programming, and comes from the evil place known as Hollyweird AKA Pedowood.
