The story started by introducing a lot of characters with confusing relationships. Eventually, their relationships became clear. The show touched on different issues such as breast cancer in males and unconventional family arrangements. The acting and OSTs were good! These were pretty much the good side of Jealousy Incarnate

I have a lot to say about the story but I'll summarize it in one word: disappointing.

The story was confusing at first but eventually things seemed to fall into place until everything is shaken up again to another set of confusing arcs. There were characters who were given the limelight only to be thrown into the background later on. Probably the only consistent "main character" was Pyo Na Ri. Although the concept isn't original, the first half of the story actually made me think that the story would be different and special (probably groundbreaking) with how Jeong Won and Na Ri's relationship was given a long arc despite the expectation that Jeong Won is just the second lead. Yes, I fell in love with Jeong Won's character and his perfection was probably a signal that he won't be Na Ri's choice in the end; but I seriously hoped that the writers wouldn't make this another kdrama cliche. Sadly, they still did it. The second half of the story was framed badly. It basically threw the first half of the story. Like they could have just made the first half run for three episodes. Na Ri's choice is also very problematic and unconvincing. Sure, many kdramas do this, but Na Ri portrayed a foolish character of still choosing Hwa Sin who made her suffer for three years and was constantly mean and insensitive towards her. As a viewer, it was just difficult to fathom Na Ri's choices. They were able to make a clean ending with how everyone was "happy" in the end.

Overall, I can't help but be frustrated with this drama. I don't frequently experience second lead syndrome because many kdramas justify the main characters' choices. For jealousy incarnate, it just wasn't. Although I have to say, Hwa SIn is at times funny and can be anyone's crush but just not for Pyo Na Ri.
