Wow. What an incredibly interesting find. I came to WHIB in a recent desire to see more of Jo In Sung and was pleasantly surprised overall. It will definitely show signs of age, but it didn't detract too much from the message. It was only occasionally that I cringed when a craptastic suit or hairstyle popped out. This drama was an extremely emotional, elaborate, and lengthy train wreck - but in the BEST sense. You begin with characters in the midst of a somewhat complicated relationship, and each episode continually adds to a web of deceit, greed, jealousy, love, and obsession that binds the main characters together. Even though the love square was a big part of the plot, the drama really brings to light what people will or won't do to satisfy their greed and how that can affect their lives. I didn't love any one main character over another, and I think that that was intentional - they all made their share of poor choices. I really have to hand it to the actors of these characters. Well done. WHIB was not without frustrations, though. A lot of the meaty parts of the plot center around corporate business. Jo In Sung, So Ji Sub, and several supporting characters all work (and scheme) there, and it becomes an easy vehicle for them to try to get revenge on each other. Some may find this interesting to watch. I don't. It got old quickly and made some of the later episodes a bit draggy. I found the supporting cast to be a bitter but necessary thing. The main characters didn't just make their decisions for themselves - there often was a supporting cast member behind it all, which made me hate them a little (or a lot) for what they put the main characters through. I can't deny their importance, though. I will not re-watch it fully (I may skim a bit to see the actors again), but I really don't need to. The message of the drama was powerful enough for me to be perfectly fine with one complete watch. If you're looking for a drama that's heavy on darker themes, this would be a good one to start. The love square of the main characters and the corporate business are the biggest plot lines, but the real force of the drama is the greedy and selfish sides of being human.
