It's alright...

I couldn't stomach most of Dong Yup scenes. They gave him too much attention and screen-time. Would prefer more focus on other characters. The drama itself was decent with a handful of funny scenes but unfortunately not memorable.

Awful beginning...

The first 23 episodes were really painful to get through, mainly because they are flashbacks with the young version of the cast. The flashbacks didn't add anything to the story and they could have been easily summed up in 3-4 episodes. Even after the flashbacks there was barely anything happening. It's almost just a slice of life until the last portion. Relationships were awful and unnecessarily tangled in a love square where none had any emotional weight by the end. The drama has one of the most awkward endings, you can feel the characters melting from awkwardness. Even if I disregarded the flashbacks and the relationships, there wasn't anything else appealing to me, not even the cast performance. You might like if you are looking for a slice of life set in 1970.

Alright

Great performance from Yoon So Yi, I love her bug face. This was much better than expected. Compared to the writer's and director's other project "Love Twist" this is definitely better. However, there were many problems holding it back other than the usual drag of the 2nd half of all dailies. There were a disgusting amount of time-skips which made it a big turn off especially with that last time-skip of 3 years which also led to a cold ending. This is a great example of what not to do with time-skips. The other big problem was rape! They went through the worst possible way to set up the story. Once again, it's acceptable in Kdramas to rape a guy while being passed out then get pregnant to force him into marriage and create plethora of subsequent shenanigans. I've seen this maneuver repeated step by step so many times and Korean writers keep getting away with it! Anyway, the drama is decent despite the big misses.

huh.....

This is the type of revenge story were the villain commit double digits crimes yet they don't get a worthy punishment after 100 episodes pain. The drama was okay for the first half but unfortunately the second half was doomed to fail because everything became inside a corporate setting. I yearn for the day drama writers realize that 2 parties fighting each other inside a company is boring as fuck! About 40-50 episodes were wasted on these random fights. The drama initially included the kids heavily but shortly after they were completely dropped to never be seen again on screen until the last scene. Anyway, only the 1st half was watchable.

If only....

The drama was fine until Seung Joo married around episode 22 then everything fell off along with my interest. After that, the drama solely focused on her entangled relationships and love square while ignoring most of the other stories/characters and turning them to a side story. This change of direction ruined the drama.

If you read the synopsis, the story will pan out exactly step by step as you would expect it. As generic as any other birth secret story can be so don't expect anything. The writing was weak and the cast performance as well. From the very first scene it smelled like low budget.

It's alright....

Well, the cast did a lot of heavy lifting because the story is too damn scuffed. That wedding scene at the end was insanity! Who would accept such a thing?! Anyway, it's kinda a light drama from the leads perspective since they don't seek revenge. Instead, karma takes its course throughout the entire run. The drama separates the baddies from others for the most part, each carry on their story line without intertwining much until the later parts. Which makes it enjoyable watching the husband sinking into his demise very slowly instead of the usual quick payoff at the end. Although it's called Happy Sisters but they rarely ever interact or have scenes together. I thought we would be seeing some dynamic between them but there was none. The drama was fine for the most part and it's pretty much smooth sailing after the divorce.

I saw the FL in a military custom in the first episode and I thought it might be something like "Famous Chill Princesses" but that was just one scene in the first episode. It's just another corporate setting junk. Also, the synopsis is mostly wrong and misleading. I was looking forward to see Kang Byul, she did great in "Ugly Alert" but her character in this one didn't appeal to me or whatsoever. She was one of those characters that are more holy than a saint. Drama writers need to understand that this trope for the protagonists is stale and boring. All the love lines were straight up awful from start to finish, they went full retardation with it. The leads triangle was pure cringe and childish, it would be infinitely better if none of the leads had a relationship/romance. I'm tired of watching Yoon Ho begging In Jeong every single episode, the man can't take a hint. By the way, weak ending as usual.

Watchable...

Apparently being a doctor is overrated. The parents (Jung Do & Choo Ja) had a great chemistry that really made the family alive. Doo Na chaotic behavior was a treat, although I didn't like her love story. I wish there was a better family dynamic that also included all the sisters since the other two sisters were kinda neglected outside their brief non-family related side story. All the love relationships sucked and all of them ended up being underdeveloped because there was no room for them since the drama heavily focus on the handful of scattered secrets which occupied the entire runtime. The drama had a big problem in tying loose threads most of which were neglected until the end which resulted in a rushed ending trying to tie all the loose threads quickly. Speaking of the ending, it kinda sucked and really rushed without much thought put into it. The drama had nice moments when it comes to "family" scenes but unfortunately it's lacking a lot in all of the other areas.

Maybe watchable?

There wasn't enough "plot" to fill 102 episodes and keep the viewers engaged. The last 5 episodes were painfully slow, they felt like eternity. Jang Jin Gook must be one of the poorest written characters out there. The relationships between all of the 6 leads were just bad. I don't ask from such dramas to be believable (they're never meant to be) but there's a certain limit of blatant stupidity shouldn't be crossed unless you are making a mobbit show.

You know how it goes...

Coming to this after "Shady Mom-in-Law", I actually kinda liked it for the first 38 episodes although the story was very similar but it did everything "Shady Mom-in-Law" failed to do with the daughter-mother dynamic. Unfortunately, after episode 38 things slowed down a lot and got boring until the last 20 episodes were things started moving again. I'm too used to see Cha Ye Ryun playing the baddie as a 2nd FL across many projects but it's nice seeing her being the lead for a change. Anyway, none of the 4 young leads had any chemistry to begin with. That's the problem with most of these dailies. For the drama itself, don't expect too much it's your typical daily makjang were most things just don't make sense, especially when it comes to legal matter. The main theme of this drama is revenge and I think it was its weakest aspect, I wish it went all out on that aspect without holding back. The ending was alright, although I wish if it had been better.

Pain....

This is just... bad. This flat jaded narrative and these one dimensional characters killed my soul. I can't even be bothered to continue writing my comment.
