I think this drama is sort of underrated. First off I feel like I should say that it has a TERRIBLE title... it really doesn't reflect what the show is about at all. The prevailing themes here are really greed vs. relationships (romantic, filial, and friendship) and bucking an unjust social class system. It's not a melodrama though, it's a straight-up comedy! This is true ensemble drama, which I think is pretty awesome because all of the characters are actually really interesting. There's nothing showstopping about the plot, but between the characterizations and the large number of wacky situational comedy scenes it's worth a watch. The first half of the series is much stronger than the second, but isn't that true of most dramas?
