I've been watching dramas for 10+ years and this is one of the funniest I've ever seen.  It's got everything: plotting and scheming ajummas, gangsters, cute kids, spies, and the perfect robot mother.  She's an unforgettable heroine, never letting her enemies tear her down and solving problems with 100% efficiency.  The lead actress does a great job of making her both innocent and single-minded in her determination to do the right thing.

My one caveat is that to get some of the jokes you need to know a little about Korean culture, so it helps if you've already seen a lot of dramas before this one.

Do you like TV show cliches that were already outdated in the 1970s?  Do you like idiot plotting?  Do you think it's plausible that a 100lb woman could beat up 8 gangsters at once with her bare hands?  If you do, then maybe this is the right show for you.

There are a lot of good actors in this cast and they tried their hardest, but the writers gave them so little to work with.  Every character acts like a complete moron.  Every time someone is supposed to their job, whether it's a police interrogation or a lawyer speaking in court, they do the opposite of what a professional would do in real life.  The plot moves at a fast pace with lots of twists, but they're all really dumb twists.  If you want a show like this, watch Bride of the Century instead.  It has a plot that twists just as often, but each time it's smart and makes sense.
