Not being used to Park Si Yeon acting the victimised main lead and not interested at all in adults fighting against each other and society, I was not planning to watch this. But I simply could not ignore Bae Soo Bin. He's just one of my very favourites so I started the drama and I don't regret it. The drama is a feminist approach on motherhood, women's struggle against the patriarchal world, prejudices, injustice, and victimisation. If I was still in my radical feminist phase back in college I would have gone crazy watching this. I'm mad now pretty much as is. I've always thought it's better in South Korea. I've always thought compared to the third world, Korea presents a great example. But it's the same everywhere I guess. Men still rule. Men have power and power rules. No matter how hard the woman struggles, she'll be forever a step behind, because the world determines so; because it's a patriarchal world. What frustrated me the most about this drama and reality was not men bonding against women, but women bonding with men against other women; their supposed sisters. Park Si Yeon did a great job here. Her self-confidence, determination, strong-will, love and dedication to whatever she does or cares about and brilliance won over me. I applaud Cha Eun Kyung though I disagree with many of the things she did. I do not care about kids nor understand the amount of sacrifice she put for her kid. I understand and support her decision because she has the right to choose and because her justifications are valid. To stand on her own against the whole world is not an easy matter. I know that I wouldn't be able to stand firm if I were her. She has my respect and admiration. Now for the reason I watched the drama; Bae Soo Bin. Wow! This is what differentiates cable dramas; the unexpected characters. Here comes one adorable jerk of a main lead. A human male lead? Cho Eun Cha is selfish, childish, meticulous, biased, narrow minded; a cunning fox; but strangely adorable. I do not know if it's only me because I know I AM biased but I found him the cutest thing ever. The one thing about Cho Eun Cha that made his character appeal to me was conscience. His conscience would always pricks him, he feels regret and if he does not stop before committing the folly he'd try to make amends afterwards; in the silliest way I admit. His honesty would always find its way to others' hearts. Though he might have gotten on other people's nevers I got addicted to him. He never gave up on his ambitions but he realised that stepping on his conscience would not be the best way to pave the road. I'm not used to this side of Bae Soo Bin and I have not got used to his character yet. I know, the drama has ended and all! But I completely loved him. No Min Woo was a complete asshole; a hot and pathetic asshole. He was so absorbed in the role I almose forgot his demonic self . His ost gave the drama another flavour. Park Tae Yeon was the most childish, clueless, self-centred, indecisive, and insecure lead I've ever watched. He aggrevated me so bad I wanted to smash his head against the wall. I understand the terrible family he grew up in. I've been there. I'm still there but that doesn't justify his actions. His sister had it tougher (I LOVED HER) but still made it though with multiple heartbreaks. One of the worst second leads and one of the greatest actors acting the worst roles. I won't talk about Park Tae Yeon's parents because if I do I'm going to have a mental breakdown. I can't believe there's another family like mine out there. The world is worse that I expected. The and-they-lived-happily-ever-after ending was too Utopian I didn't completely like it. I prayed they'd end it that way but I know pretty well that we need a long way to reach that ending. The world is only getting worse. Instead of providing me with the motivation and self-confidence I expected, it gave me much more to ponder about; with sighs. It was a very good drama, well written and well acted. I loved the music and the osts. It gave me some energy not to give up the fight yet. It's absolutely worth watching; if you don't have heart or nerves problems.
