The storyline is too predictable, lame, and cheesy. Painfully weak acting by the lead actress.Even allowing for the fact that it’s fiction, I am always surprised how Korean dramas have their characters become penniless from being filthy rich. Don’t rich Koreans have insurances or trust funds?

this drama not really bad but not good too, i wonder why the rating is so high, is it because of Lee seung gi popularity?
August 7th, 2012 at 7:44 pm
i love this drama. seung gi oppa is so cool
August 13th, 2012 at 3:46 pm

This is good drama, i miss this drama so much. i watched this drama last year. now i’m gonna watch it again after finishing Oh my lady.

@eny
I don’t think so, this drama deserve to get high rating because it has solid and strong story line.

Stupid ending, I liked the stepmother and stepsister more to be honest…at least she knows that family comes first unlike the self-righteous twit of a main character who stole her sister’s fiancée and thinks nothing of it…bitch

if you have watched many kdramas, you would probably find this drama amazing, but if you are pretty new to watching kdrama, it’s probably not gonna appeal as much. i love this drama, the screenwriter did a great job! flow of the story is awesome!
