Worth a re-watch for the two leads and the child stars
The two main leads carried this drama on their shoulders alone. The script was draggy and poor, the endless recaps were dumb, none of the other storylines were followed through properly, the two kids were fantastic but only used as props.If it wasn't for the main leads acting chops and charisma, this drama would have tanked.
I watched it solely for TSY, Jing Boran and the 2 kids. Luckily, the main leads are present in almost all the scenes.
The original story was great, but the script/edits/direction of this drama, not so great at all. I read the English translation of the original and it was a fast-paced very interesting read.
Thanks to TSY and Jing Boran the drama has a very high watch and re-watch value.

Ep 6 has just been released and I simply cannot watch it any further. But I will because I don't want to miss Jung Hae In and the other cast performances.
I love the storyline, I love the rest of the cast. I wait for their scenes, and Jung Hae In is outstanding as usual, the support cast is great, but Han Ji Min is so flat, so lifeless, so one-dimensional in her performance that if I could I would skip over all her scenes. Which means skipping over most of each episode. As I said, this is a subjective personal viewpoint. But I do feel that the team that cast this serial could have chosen someone with more acting clout to act alongside Jung Hae In and the rest of the stellar cast.
