Looked up for female lead Jeong-eum Hwang, and male lead Seong Ji. Same pairing as in 'Kill me, Heal me'. And wow. Just wow, what a story. Tears! Worst villain ever, simply because you can understand the reasons behind his actions, from his perspective. Your heart will break over and over for the female lead. Recommended a thousand times over.

You will be surprised about how people can change or maybe they just get to show their true nature? A very emotional drama. You will love, hate and cry with it.

Even after 10 years (this was made in 2013), this drama still stands up to a 10 against all other dramas I have viewed. An amazing chaebol story; full of drama, ML Ji Sung played the character perfectly. He is handsome, determined, smart, a leader, loyal to his father and the business and his love starts with hateful revenge that turns into real love as the story evolves. The woman that goes from revenge to real love, was his fiancé, who he believed killed the love of his life who was also pregnant with his son. The fiancé was dating an attorney behind his back when this happened who is the 2nd ML and turns out to be so ruthless that you hate him so much as a character. The emotions, both hate and love between the ML Chaebol and the FL, just pull you in, and any award they received for this drama stands up to time 2023.

Just wow! I find fascinating how this show portrays the slow descent of a "good" man into the "dark side" Little by little, the young prosecutor falls prey of his ambition while the lazy, resentful "chaebol" finds his way back to peace... Amazing. There are loopholes and loose threads but still, this story is a valiant study of human nature. It's addictive and passionate and I gladly overlooked its numerous flaws yo enjoy the ride. As for the actors, there are few actors in the world so talented and magnetic as Ji Sung. Kudos for his performance in this show. His talent males up for the wailing, overbearing female lead. (I think she's a good actress but here she's just... todo much) If you are in the mood for an intense and provoking love story, don't miss this drama.

Wow. I put this on the list for months and finally took the plunge. I was blown away. The first few episodes were so absurd, I was afraid the whole thing would be a soap, but the acting kept me from looking away. I had so many questions and I could not stop watching. The male lead was phenomenal and I loved the intensity. The chemistry between the ML and FL was amazing. There is nothing lukewarm about love, and this story showed all the emotions when each character was trying to act out of love. The emotional range and passion reminded me of shows like Doom at Your Service and It's Okay To Not Be Okay. When the characters comforted each other during their times of distress, you felt the intimacy of love in the deepest way.

I spent every episode questioning why each character did what they did and the writer kept on answering all the questions. The character development was so real and intense. I love kdramas because I get attached to the characters far more than a movie or American show. This show was too short and I would have easily sat through 16 more episodes. This is definitely on my rewatch list and shot up to my top 5 kdramas after watching over 100.
