Firstly I would like to say this is my first review I've wrote on MyDramaList. I felt like I had to write a review and I was going to back out last minute but since there are so many negative reviews and it doesn't deserve those low rates I went ahead and started writing. I would highly recommend this show. Yes there are many cliches but why does that matter, shows can have cliches this one just portrays them in a different way. The story is quite unique for me like yes it's normal for their to be rich families and shows about the children but it's very focused on that. Personally this show is one of the best I've seen and have thoroughly enjoyed it.

The rewatch value is quite high even though maybe not as much compared to acting because I could watch this show over and over again but just probably not completely finish it because I get bored quite easily and just find it difficult to completely finish a show and towards the end it gets ever so slightly draggy.

There are particular things that I wished happened in this show such as maybe be a bit different to a typical one. For example I wished the main female lead doesn't end up with the male lead but it's quite obvious that would happen. I wanted her to end up with Choi Young Do because I loved his character it was so perfect and he changed for her which I love. Also it was extremely disappointing that Kim Won the heir of Jeguk group didn't end up with Jeon Hyun Joo as I really loved their couple and it was heartbreaking that he chose the company and business over her but regretted that decision the rest of life as it's shown in the end. I wish that he took the courage like his brother and chose her over the company and that shareholders meeting as he was one of my favourite character in it.

The cast was perfect and i mean it every character had the perfect role for them and I liked all the characters no matter how they were portrayed to be. The relationship between the mistress and the maid was so good and sweet they made my day and the brotherly bond between the heirs of Jeguk was so good as well. Hyo Jun was also one of my favourites after Kim Won they both liked Jeon Hyun Joo and I didn't really mind who she ended up with but as Hyo Jun was a student she wasn't going to end up with him. I wish we saw more of the other characters as well and I wish we saw the development of Hyo Jun and Rachel after their kiss. So yes that might have been lacking more about the other cast members. In addition, Rachel portrayed her character very well, at first I thought I wouldn't like her because recently I watched Descendants of the Sun and her character was very different so I thought she may not be able to portray her character well but she exceeded my expectation. Also someone else that I have similar views on was Lee Bo Na as I had also seen her recently in Bride of Habaek and her character was so much more harsh and she portrayed herself in this as a lively girl very happy and overly jealous. She was so perfect and I've enjoyed watching her in both.

There is one thing that I did not understand the reason why Kim Tan was exiled to America three years ago I thought they were going to reveal the reason gradually but now I think it might just be because of the fact he's an illegitimate child.

Ughhhhh there's just one thing and I know ranting about something is annoying and I've mentioned this earlier but I really really wanted Kim Won to get with Jeon Hyun Joo like they had such cute scenes and he loved her just why did their relationship have to end like that. This is going to bother me for a while.
Anyways really enjoyed it overall and I hope that you all give it a chance and keep watching because more me at the end of the episode it made me want to watch the next and i watched it all in 2 days so highly highly recommended.
