This cliched love square story is an example of the heavy melodramas of the early 2000s. Starts off nicely in Bali then when things get back to Seoul it gets a bit repetitive. Half the episodes could have been cut. The theme of rich people being forced to marry rich people even though they love the poor ones is totally milked for all its worth.

This is a chance to see some big stars in an earlier drama. The cast is well cast for their parts - considering the material is inferior. Ha Ji Won is prettier here than in later roles. So Ji Sub's face is rather inexpressive but it suits the character. But the showiest role is by Jo In Sung who has the right attitude and is convincing as the wealthy playboy. Don't get why he loved her so much. The middle to end had too much drunk binges and wailing. Repetitive. Liked the way the last episode played out with the screwing of the company until the cliched deaths. Why not just have a happy ending instead? This notoriously irritating ending seemed out of place with the rest of the show.

The best K-Drama. The leading characters are interconnected with each other, their love was so passionate that it affected their lives.
