I (partially) disagree, the person who played Seo Yoon-Hee did a pretty good job in other dramas like Cinderella Game and Second Husband. I didn't really like her performance here though.
I'm content with how this ended. I don't feel like it needs a part two. I'm going to watch it, of course, but…
Well, Baek IS the protagonist of this drama, despite being a villain. Villain protagonists are always fun to watch for me. I don't consider Jang to be necessarily good either, he seems like an anti-hero at best.
I dropped it at ap 91, wonder if I shall catch up with the last 5-10 episodes.
Personally, I stopped (actively) watching even before episode 99, episode 99 was just when I officially dropped it. It was on hold for me since episode 60/70-ish. On & off watching. I tuned back in when Seo-Rin came back, then it went even FURTHER downhill after that.
I've only seen like 3 or 4 k-dramas in total where the villains get the ending that they deserve. Also, unpopular…
I think it depends on what the villain has done... like the main villain of Penthouse 100% deserved to die. Same with the one from Strangers From Hell.

THANK YOU!!!! Ironically, past daily dramas were more willing to kill off their villains... but now, not so much. Disappointing. I need the villains to suffer as MUCH as they tormented their victims. Stop the kumbaya endings! 🙄
(If they're a villain protagonist, though... that's different. 😈)
FINALLY! I finished this drama! (For real this time 😂) Okay, so overall, I did enjoy it, even if it kinda dragged at some points. Jung Yu-Kyung/Jessica Gates is definitely one of my favorite daily drama FLs EVER. DAMN was she dedicated to her revenge, at all costs! She was brilliant, stylish, ruthless, a little ambitious, and totally iconic. Definitely villainous/an anti-villain FL. And I LOVED her. I loved her determination.
The antagonists were good enough, I preferred Kang-Su over Seo-Hyun, but Seo-Hyun was more of a victim in this whole saga. Yi-Hyun was good at first, but she eventually got annoying. HATED Sang-Woo. Indecisive piece of shit. I did not like Yu-Hee much either... she actively decided to have an emotional affair with Sang-Woo and paid the price for it. Idiot! There was NO point in reviving her. Young-Hun was alright. Didn't ship him and Yu-Kyung much (I would've rather had her be single/alone, and it seems like she was!) BUT he was a good foil to Seo-Hyun.
Yu-Hee & Yu-Kyung's family were straight FILLER. I skipped all their scenes, but I did like that the mom became the gallery director. The dad was touching at times. The detective (Park Young-Bae) was a cutie, didn't care for his relationship with the sister. I really liked Yu-Kyung's secretary, though. That man was a true ride-or-die till the very end. Worst character award goes to the MIL. HOLY SHIT SHE WAS AWFUL FROM BEGINNING TO END!!!! 😭😭 Just a useless, screeching banshee! I had to skip her scenes, all she did was nag, be loud, whine, complain, attack people, repeat. Un-necessary character. At least she got dementia at the end, but I would've preferred for Yu-Kyung to kill her for good. Scamming her was NOT enough. 🙄 Chairman Min, on the other hand, was pretty interesting! I was sad when he died. But hey, he was a trooper.
The revenge was solid. Compared to most daily drama FLs, Yu-Kyung kicked ass! Yes, she was a bit sloppy at times, but she. Was. Locked. The fuck. IN!!! SHE DID NOT COME TO PLAY!!!! 💯 I love how they flipped the twin revenge thing here, too, usually, you'd expect it to be Yu-Hee (nice/poor twin) getting revenge, but Yu-Kyung (rich/cold twin) avenged her instead. I really wish daily dramas would do this more. It was kinda done with Pearl in Red, but that was a flop (for me.) 💀 And Yu-Kyung succeeded more than once. I loved the ridiculous yet creative disguises lmao
Hated the Lee Ji-Eun triangle arc though. The whole character was unnecessary...
All the actors did their thing here! It was great to see a young Lee Chae-Young here, Kang Sung-Yun NAILED IT as Yu-Kyung/Jessica and Yu-Hee. Felt like watching 2 entirely different people. Yoon Se-Ah was also good as Min Seo-Hyun! Tragic, for sure, a little over-the-top, but it's a makjang. I don't like Jo Min-Ki at all, but he was good enough as Yoon Sang-Woo. It feels so weird seeing Park Jung-Chul play Young-Hun here while also watching him as the villainous ML in Angel's Revenge (the writer of this drama ALSO wrote that one!) Crazy. I'm definitely watching more of Kim Mu-Yeol's stuff, I'd say he was the second best actor here! He embodied Han Kang-Su.
The directing was great, not much to say. It was a 2009 daily drama. I really do miss SBS dailies... hopefully they bring them back someday. 😔
Rating: 9/10. Again, it dragged sometimes, some characters felt unnecessary, and I wasn't too fond of the ending. And there was no need for Yu-Hee's return. So not a 10/10 for me, but, it was an amazing drama to watch. I probably wouldn't rewatch because I put TOO much effort into finishing this. It took me a very long time to do so 😂 God bless my VPN, I would've been SCREWED without it! I watched most of this raw on the SBS VOD website. (And I watched the first chunk, up to ep 70, on a... different website. 👀) I don't know if I actually learnt any Korean, but I relied on cues, common phrases I *did* know, body language, skipping/fast-forwarding, and willpower. I made it, y'all. I will probably never commit to an unsubbed drama like this ever again, but again, like Yu-Kyung, I was determined. 💀
I do recommend watching this daily drama though, if you have the time and if you're able to. It was a fun ride! Try it out and see, you might love it too. 😁
I really don't care much about Yu-Hee or really like her, but I find it hilarious that she came back to literally be Mother Teresa here 😭
Additionally, I liked Yi-Hyun and Kang-Su at first, but now I just find them both to be annoying. I never liked Sang-Woo in the first place. Seo-Hyun has also become kinda boring...
I really wanted to like this drama and for I while I did. I was obsessed with it. Something about a woman taking…
I've only seen like 3 or 4 k-dramas in total where the villains get the ending that they deserve. Also, unpopular opinion, but I like it when a villain dies rather than staying alive, especially if the death is brutal...
