Stars- 4.6
IMDb-7.2/10

When I first started this show the first thing I noticed was the cliche storyline, but the reason I didn't give up on it was because of the cast. With lots of upcoming actors and actresses as well as actors like Moon Ka Young who's currently starring in true beauty and Kim Seo Hyung from the ever so amazing sky castle I expected the actors to give more depth to the over used cliche storyline.

Personally I think that the actors tried their best to save the show but the writers had no idea what was going on whatsoever. No matter how much the cast had proved themselves as talented the writing completely ruined whatever parts that were salvageable.

I actually watched this show when it came out and it was honestly really forgettable, but what made me rewatch the show was the individual attention each character got.Fan made videos on YouTube made me think I missed something and honestly after rewatching I hated each of the characters more and so the rating goes like this.(Out of ten)

Number 10
Choi Soo-Ji
She was my main reason for even rewatching the show but as I did she honestly was more horrible no matter how neglected she was by her mom she felt a constant need to ruin others and control them she needed therapy more than pity and the way she was extremely obsessed with the male lead was unhealthy. Of course each character had their flaws but her character had a lot more cons than pros.

Number 9
Lee Gi-young
If you forgot who he is he basically was the whole reason for the stupid bet. Anyway he was completely disgusting and misogynistic and basically thought everyone owed him something also he was concerningly obsessed with the female lead.

Number 8
Kwon Seok-Woo
Aka Si Hyuns dad
Completely irrelevant but was a horrible father and treated his son so badly as well as decided to get married for business and then cheated not much to say but he was just a bad person.

Number 7
Myung Mi-Ri
Aka Su jis mom she overlooked so many important things like her own daughters mental health and actions and as much as she wasn't the worst character she most definitely wasn't the best

Number 6
Kwon Si Hyun
Of course the main lead he had a lot of issues but dudes hobby was being su jis bitch and kissing peoples moms he was hot and everything but his character development really felt like he had amnesia the whole time then just abruptly got his memories back.

Number 5
Soel Young Won
Aka Tae-Huis mom she literally should of just not been included in the show she just created so much unsolved drama and made her daughter feel like shit but she was one of the only characters that realised her wrong doings so the misleading seems fair

Number 4
Lee Se-Joo
The third wheel ,dude was abused the whole drama and soo ji was concerned about si hyun being gone for a day but him revealing the bet not because it's right but because si hyun decided to cut off soo jis toxic ass was a betrayal in itself basically he deserved better but was not good enough for me to hype.

Number 3
Ko kyung joo
Tae huis best friend
She was more bothered about a boy so much she constantly sided with soo ji instead of realising she was being used the whole time. Honestly she was naive which is why she's so high up.

Number 2
Park Hye Jung
The girl who was controlled by her mom she was just so nice the whole show and stayed out of peoples business but she was too irrelevant in the series for me to give her no.1

Number 1
Eun Tae-Hui
She was more practical than most girls in kdramas she wasn't cringy and her actions were realistic as much as she was the cliche good girl it fit joy a lot and no matter was done to her she protected herself instead of crying about it and didn't seek revenge therefore no.1. Her storyline was mess though.

Anyway overall it was an ok show and nothing else it's definitely a type of show you would watch if your bored or need background noise

Rating
4.5/10

But I really like the OST by Seventeen's DK it was really soothing and as much as the show wasn't my favourite it complemented the show well.

Next drama W- Two worlds
