this was one of the less intense and dramatic Lakorns i have ever watched, yet, of course, it was still plenty dramatic. i really enjoyed the determination of the main male lead and i loved the actor's performance. however, i cannot say the same thing for the main female lead. it just seemed like her face was often expressionless. she looked pretty when she cried but there was barely any emotion in her scenes, which lessened the impact of the couple's scenes. i also wished the main couple had more scenes together in the beginning that lasted longer and amounted to more than staring at each other.

other than that, i found the main female lead's character very frustrating because she never spoke up or fought back. i get the filial piety aspect of her behavior but it just made her look suppressed and weak. she was also always fainting, crying, and in danger, which just gets boring, you know. nevertheless, the main leads had great chemistry.

the story was compelling but sometimes it was progressing so slowly. also, the resolution didn't make much sense. i don't know, i feel like the main lead's story doesn't really justify a lot of his actions. especially his hatred for and jealousy of his step-sister who was like 5 when she was adopted and surely didn't know what the hell was going on.. it was a bit much and unreasonable.

like many other Lakorns, this drama was poorly-made and had a low budget, had a goof main storyline that wasn't executed very well, was full of plot holes, etc., etc... but i did still enjoy it. just wished the main female lead had more self-respect.
