If you are unsure about watching this drama, hopefully, this review will help you decide if it is worth your time.
I can promise you that you will like it if you enjoy any of the following tags in a show:
-extremely intelligent strong female lead
-slow-burn romance
-revenge plotlines
-hidden identity

Here are a few of the main reasons I loved it so much and would rewatch it again in the future.

1. THE CHARACTERS:

The characters in this were amazing. I fell in love with all of them and for all different reasons. The female lead stayed consistent throughout the entirety of the drama. She remained in character, and her decisions remained consistent. She was extremely intelligent, calm, calculative, and cool-headed and solved things without the help of the male lead. She was very capable and often solved her own problems without having to resort to outside help.

The male lead was also a perfect match for her as he was also very calculative and cunning. I loved that the romance was slow-burn and realistic in its trajectory. It was not rushed, and you could see all the different moments in which the two main characters began relying on and trusting one another. The two leads were drawn to one another as they were both fascinated and stimulated by the other's intelligence. I loved that the male lead fully trusted and believed in the female lead's capabilities and didn't abandon reason to rush to her aide any time she was in trouble, as he fully had faith in her ability to overcome her obstacles. Their relationship was steady but firm, and they knew what the other was thinking or feeling without ever having to state it.

The antagonists in this were also well done as they were complex characters. I loved that they gave depth and backstories to all of the antagonists, making you feel pity for them or sympathize with them despite their terrible deeds. I loved that they delved into character development with her antagonist stepsister, in which the female lead guided her to find her own identity and think for herself, which helped her realize the difference between right and wrong, and I loved that character growth in her. It was one of the most believable and beautiful character developments I've seen. You hate her in the beginning but are left cheering for her towards the end.

2. THE STORY

The story was also well done as there were so many subplots and sub revenges mixed in with the main plot and main revenge that somehow all tied together beautifully. This was a show that I never grew bored of and always looked forward to the next episode. I was a little disappointed in the ending even though it was considered a happy ending. It was more of a bitter-sweet ending, and I wish we could have seen a happier one, especially after all the pain and suffering they endured. I felt like it was the least they deserved.
