I could describe this drama simply like this:
Beginning: the most awesome, intriguing, complicated, interesting, hooking, creative, breathtaking shit I have ever seen.
The rest: just shit.
Seriously, why does it always happen? Dramas start well then first half is over and everything is over. I guess it went up till episode 8, that's when the awesomeness ended and this drama became a pain to watch.
First of all I hate Moon Geun Young and this drama made me hate her even more. She is the most boring actress I have ever seen, (along with Han Ga In, they are just the same). Maybe it was just her character? Han Se was supposed to be different but ended up being just a confusing crying mess who couldn't achieve anything by herself. All she did after first half was crying, over and over again.
Park Shi Hoo, I loved his character at first but then realized that he was crazy, he was simply just... out of his mind?
This drama is no different from others. It's true the writer tries to have a different feel to the usual Cinderella story but in the end nothing is different. I though Han Se had potential of being the first truly black main character in Kdrama history, who was driven evil by the harsh society she was living in.
Oh well, everything about her was genuine after all, just everything. Instead of a good girl gone bad this drama actually portrays something like: a good girl can't go bad because she is too good and that pays off. What?
The weak lead girl who is constantly unsure about everything she does supported by people who at first hate her but become her friends and a crazy male lead who does stuff which doesn't really make any sense. But as long as he saves the day in the end...
After the most promising first 8 episodes I have ever seen this drama made an u-turn into a boring mess which didn't make any sense after all.
