I swear, I've never been more annoyed by all the side characters in a drama like this one. Seriously.

I just wanted to first mention that in the beginning, we have to put up with a widowed single mother who has to put up with her in-laws, especially the awful mother-in-law. She's so verbally abusive at first, that I just wanted to bitch slap her, and then we have to watch the grandmother treat that same mother-in-law like crap too. So the grandmother treats her daughter-in-law like crap and then that daughter treats her daughter-in-law like crap. Like this stupid cycle that goes on and on uselessly. Both these two in-laws are so annoying. Especially the grandmother who coddles her unfilial son.

-All the women I feel are stupid or bitchy on this show. The FL is a doormat at home and at work, who can't even open a water bottle, her cousin-in-law, Hae Mi, is a stalker who can't handle rejection from anyone and abuses her power, there's Hae Mi's mother who's pretty much clueless and useless, I've already mentioned the in-law grandmother and mother relationship, the FL's sister , Do Young, who crushes on her sister's (the FL) best friend's brother Eun Ho so bad that at one point, she leaves her own niece unsupervised in the park. But luckily the FL arrives on time. The ML's stepmother, VP Cha Yoon Hee is of course the villainess, the VP of the company, who hates both the ML and the FL. Her fashion sense is atrocious btw. Then there's the FL's best friend, Eun Jin, who quits her stable job when she gets sexually harassed at work by her supervisor.

-The FL should've left her in-laws the minute her husband died. Like she should've run, even with the baby in her tummy.

-The straw that broke the camel's back for was Do Sik, the FL's brother-in-law. That guy is so f*cking useless that I dislike his character so much. The things he did to his sister-in-law were completely outrageous and uncalled for. He's so good for nothing. He can't cook, isn't smart, and certainly isn't a good brother-in-law. 47 episodes in and he's totally useless. He's can't study and is unemployed and doesn't help at all. Not at home and certainly not in the family restaurant. He mooches off his own family or the FL's best friend's family. I get so annoyed every time he comes onscreen.

-The FL hides the secret that she's a single mom and the ML hides the secret that he's the president's son and rich and the writers had to go and ruin it by letting the most annoying side characters reveal their secrets so they hear it from someone else. So. F*cking. Annoying. I mean the way their secrets were revealed was so tactless and by side characters we hate.

-I feel like all the men are coddled on this show while all the women are making all the unnecessary drama. There is however, that one jerk co-worker, Mr. Heo, that hates the FL and treats the FL like crap but kisses *ss with the ML as soon as he finds out that he's the president's son. There's also the ML's father who allows his evil second wife, VP Cha to do what she wants and he barely tries to protect his own firstborn son from his wife's evil machinations.

I'm watching this off and on between times when I have nothing else to watch so I'm taking my time. I think overall, I would've liked this show better with a different FL actress. I'm not too fond of this actress for some reason.

(UPDATE)
I never got back into this but after reading another review, i guess nothing changed. Don't bother wasting your time on this one.
