Horribly Unrealistic, With Viewer Regrets

Final Rating 1- Had to come back and re-rate this after watching all 102 episodes! Reduced to a 1! Worst daytime drama I have ever seen. While I try to reserve my comments to positive ones, I struggle to find anything positive to say.- The ML who is an innocent son born from the corporate owner's mistress and bloodline heir was the only normal character and was handsome. He looked good with his first love and FL who was out for revenge. So good casting for that pair. However, for all of the ridiculous killings, and bad scripts, bad acting, misery the audience endured we get the worst ending ever???? The ML gets stabbed in the back from begging to end from both his cruel FL and so called brother and there is nothing reprieve for him for list love or loneliness throughout for the viewers. A scam to keep you watching otherwise you would turn it off after the beginning of this revenge thing.

33 Episodes rated 5. Should have called this a fantasy drama instead of a suspense drama - there isn't one once of realism in this drama from the very beginning. There is only one person who you would call normal - the ML who is an innocent son born from the corporate owner's mistress. He loves his mother (he thinks she is his mother but she really isn't). In the beginning he has respect for his father33 rpidodes: and the business he built, and works hard so that he can fulfill his so-called mother's wishes for him to be the heir of it and run it completely.

The rest of the characters are all crazy, murders, revenge seekers at all costs, users of anyone they can, criminals - you name it, one ridiculous scenario after another. Sometimes when there is a scene that you think "Finally! Things are going to turn around", it is a dream! How frustrating.

Will finish it since am 33 episodes into it but there are better choices avsil.

Korean cinema is known for its mastery of genre, fluidly blending thriller, drama, and dark comedy with social critique. The post-1990s renaissance brought bold storytelling and masterful craft to the world stage, addressing class, identity, and modern anxieties with cinematic flair.

The dark comedy subgenre, also known as black comedy, combines humor with elements of tragedy, morbidity, or darker themes. Dark comedies often explore serious or taboo subjects, such as death, crime, dysfunction, and societal issues, while infusing these topics with humor to create an unusual and often thought-provoking contrast. The humor in dark comedies is typically edgy, satirical, and often unsettling, challenging traditional comedic norms.
