This Kdrama is carefully planned and packed with unexpected twists and turns and unbelievably cute and funny dialogues. It shows titillating love lines and scenes and dialogues that make me tear up and those that make me burst into laughter.

The lead actress, Kim Ji Won, is outstanding and right on point in portraying the strong-willed female boss and yet fragile character. As usual, the lead actor, Kim Soo Hyun, also shines in his quirky role.

This drama writer always reminds us that there are good sides to everyone and that even villains have a purpose. For example, the main villain has been in love with the heroine since childhood and even protected her from a mad dog attacking her at his orphanage (by poisoning the dog-which foreshadows the sinister way he behaves as an adult). Many of his sidekicks are from the same orphanage, which explains why he joined hands with them.

Humanism and doing the right thing are also in the background in this drama. The scenes where the rich in-laws take refuge with the poor in-laws is a little boring but provide a setting where they get closer on the personal level without the boundaries of money.

I can't wait for the next episodes.

This is an interesting and watchable drama that stars one of the best character actors in Korea (Choi Min Sik). It has a well-crafted script, engaging dialogues, and unpredictable plotlines. As a result, I kept watching to see how it developed. There are a few missteps, however, that make this drama not one of my favorites. 1) the story jumps back and forth with no particular purpose and leaves many loose ends behind.; 2) The show becomes disorganized, especially in the second half, with a ridiculous ending that seems unintended by the writer's initial plotline; 2) There are many unrealistic storylines that are inconsistent with the character of Choi Moo Sik. For example, he is too often unprepared for predictable attacks, and also, he is very gullible and naive-- unbecoming of a successful mob boss (although he thinks he is a businessman, not a mob boss). I think the writer tried to depict him as a mob boss with a heart of gold--unsuccessfully. 3) The last few episodes are very disjointed, showcasing thoughtless plots. Acting is terrific in general, especially that of the leading actor. For all these reasons, I give a 7 for this drama.

A young, bereaved wife and her caring mother-in-law from a noble family in the Korean dynasty are transported to the modern age. The mother-in-law also lost her ailing husband and shared secret love and adoration with her loyal servant. Both ladies meet their dead husbands in modern times, alive but already married (or preparing to get married) with different women. The setting is wacky but intriguing enough to keep us watching. The scripts are well-written and carefully crafted, as with all dramas written by Im Sung Han (aka Phebe). Everyone's acting is excellent, especially the very believable performance of the two leading ladies.

Toward the latter 1/3 of the series, however, the show gets weirdly sidetracked to focus on a love affair of a young man pursuing a much older woman (which I believe is the writer's own personal fantasy) rather than finishing up the good storyline revolving around the two heroines. In sum, the show starts strong but ends up broken.

IMHO, the screenwriter Im Sung Han is one of the most talented but also the wackiest of all K-drama writers. Her show usually has four features, all of which are in this show: 1. The male lead is a perfect gentleman whom every woman idolizes. 2. Her show involves a great deal of shamanism. 3. Her show contains a sideshow featuring a young man pursuing an older woman. 4. Her show uses too many scenes where the characters have illusory imaginations. I hope she breaks some of these routines in future shows, as she is really gifted.
