“You came out of your mother’s tummy shouting, ‘I’m a feminist, didn’t you?’”

The premise has needless drama but the characters manage to get through it with most of their dignity and autonomy intact.
I was especially worried for our heroine, but she is a survivor and she thrives in whatever environment she is in. It’s been a while since I’ve visited melodrama land and it’s been a while since I’ve been this upset over a show. Why won’t they do what I want them to do?
The best thing about this show is that no matter what is happening the show demonstrates the strength of the characters. It’ll pull up ridiculous scenarios just so we can feel happy about our protagonists.

Mothers
The mothers are pretty standard but about halfway I started getting interested in their relationships with the people in their lives.
What is really great is that the annoying mother-in-law is more of an object of pity because everyone loves the daughter in law so much.

Cheon Ho Jin can’t be matched when it comes to playing a nice elder. His gentle warmth for Seoyoung’s husband was so touching. “That rich family son is affectionate and has a good heart.” He plays Park Hae Jin’s father and the pair have such a nice chemistry.

Seoyoung – female lead
Lee Bo Young’s no-nonsense delivery does the trick. She plays a heroine that is calm and confident. There’s no needless bashing of her identity and person. She is well liked and competent.

Ujae – male lead
In terms of life, Ujae is pretty useless. He’s entitled and spoiled. He becomes wonderfully mature as the drama goes on – being a true older brother to his siblings and sharing his mistakes of the past as life lessons. “Don’t turn this into the same mess I did in the past.”
He doesn’t seem to have any hobbies or work, he doesn’t really get along with anyone in his family or in the drama. But he’s very good at realising his mistakes when he meets Seoyoung.

Romance

Ujae describes Seoyoung as, “Nice and tough.”
The pair get much better as the drama goes on. It is distinctly uncomfortable for the first 10 episodes or so.

Siblings
Park Hae Jin and Lee Bo Young as siblings is cute. They are both academically smart and work hard. I love how they get along.

Sang Woo
Park Hae Jin is so freakin’ good looking in this drama. He at first seems standoffish with potential love interests but he’s actually really kind to them. Throughout the drama he is self-righteous and a key catalyst for causing people around him distress because he needs to protect people in his own way.

“If you can love me like this, I don’t think I’ll find anyone else that’ll love me as much as you do.”

Sang Woo really is who he says he is. If he’s made up his mind to be happy with his decision he will be. He’s simple when it comes to his values and his values will keep his well being secure.

“I consider marriage like meeting a new friend you’ll have forever.”

I respect him because he shows that love is a choice.

Hojeong
Hojeong is such a pain. But I saw some spoilers about her though so I had to like her. And you can see that she makes efforts to improve herself and her personality. The way she wards off her blind dates by dressing up is funny.
She and her step brother are cute. Hojeong is a good example of how this show has these upright, stiff males that have a totally different side to them when it comes to the women in their life.
