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.

I like the female lead in dramas, she can immediately cry and act really well. In rom coms, I often find her annoying and overacting but she also had great chemistry with her partner. In this kdrama with Jisung, I like her better than in kill me heal me. The story is a cliche but you would anticipate on the next episode and it was really a heart ache drama.

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.

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.

I've been watching Korean TV drama series for the last couple of months and I gotta say, none of them kept me watching till the end curiously. It certainly has very interesting storyline and fantastic drama. Camera work is great, lighting, acting... everything is perfect. The amount of advertising products is acceptable in comparison to other Kdrama series. Anyways, it's highly recommended!
