Not a boring moment- entertaining but enraging!
To preface, this is a makjang genre, where everything is intended to be overdramatic and over-the-top, so I didn't think too much of plot holes bc at the end of the day, it is a makjang. Some have compared it to Sky Castle but on dr*gs.With that said in mind, WOW. From the first episode, I was hooked but imo ep 2 is monumental! One of THE craziest episodes I've ever watched. In every single episode, you WILL experience all the emotions- but anger is the most common. Never has my anger levels whilst watching a drama risen this much.
You WILL want to reach through the screen and slap *almost* every character at one point.. but that is the essence of the drama that captivated me to binge. Not a single moment was boring, and there is a perfect mix of scenes that will make you laugh, scenes that will keep you on the edge of your seat and scenes where you are shocked and angry. There are a lot of hilarious scenes too, thanks to many comedic characters.
Acting, for me personally, was pretty good as I did detest many of the characters. SeoJin actress was amazing esp compared to how different she is in real life (watched her appearance in Running Man ep530).
Can't wait for the next season!

underrated but so so worthwhile !!
genuinely the best drama i've watched, with every. single. episode exceeding my expectations.cried multiple times for a lot of of the episodes, laughed a lot, was angry often, shocked, tense but mostly, learnt a LOT of lessons.. this drama has everything and more you'd need.
the synopsis doesn't even encapture half of the drama's charm... from exploring the topics of what it means to be a Mother, it dwells upon other aspects such as adoption, society, abuse, sacrifices, the criminal justice system and so much more. personally, i loved the focus on other characters too, so you will get a chance to go beyond just the main characters, and resonate with everyone else.
the acting is incredible. the plot is well-executed, with not a single boring scene despite it touching upon such a serious concept.
definitely would recommend it, though not any other drama could ever compare. it is so moving and will undoubtedly have a close place in my heart.
