This drama starts in a unique way. When the heroine, Jae In goes for work to Jeju Island she meets there G.W. But she mistakes him for someone else, while he knowingly plays along the role of rich successor. The chemistry starts from the very beginning, but he has his own motives so their interaction is quite entertaining. Jae In Gun Wook and Tae Song meet in Japan and their fate starts there. While Jae In looks at G.W, Tae Song interested in Jae In. This triangle worked really efficiently
Mo Ne was a naive and innocent girl but after meeting G.W she changed and crossed the line. Some people affected easily and this girl is one of them
G.W is a great character. The actor did a great job as attractive man and cold hearted person at the same time
Han Ga In and Oh Yun Soo are my fav actresses so it was fun to see them play together quite complicating roles
The end was quite disappointing, as G.W went through so much and found the truth too late.
I was too shocked to find out the twist. Just because the boy was mistress's son, the wife destroyed her own family. It was too shocking to find such cruelty. This is a real irony that the family members were in conflict with each other. I'm disappointed to see egoistic woman who was really cruel to an innocent young boy.
Generally speaking it was a refreshing story but disappointing ending. Probably I would see it again despite the tragedy.
