Hmmm. . .I haven't watched Take Care Of The Lady but the way you're describing YEH character sounds like LSG from Brilliant Legacy. Are they at all alike? I mean Hwan was HORRIBLE the first few episodes.
OOOH, BSB is playing the lead in Angel's Temptation? YES. My request for a BSB lead drama came true. DEFINITELY WATCHING.
They are somewhat similar but the Universe of TCotL is a lot more mangaish than that of BL so she is both more and less awful - her actions are often more over the top (she rams the hero's car, gets him arrested for kidnapping, almost has his house bulldozed) but it feels a lot less real than Hwan's much more realistic actions ( dragging HHJ around, humiliating her in a club, being a jerk to his Grandmother, refusing to work).
She is, however, a much better family member - she seems to get along well with her grandfather (but otoh he is not pushing her into anything). Hwan was a bastard ten times over, compared to her.
I think it all feels more cushioned because that world is much less real.
I wonder how they'll redeem her. Probably not as well as Brilliant Legacy, since you said it was manga-ish. I predict situational growth, instead of character growth.
While hopefully escaping BOF's trainwreckiness (for one thing, the cast can act better and it is impossible for there to be another writer as bad as BOF's) I do not see nuanced character development or portrayal of change - as you said, it will be situational.
Oh well, it doesn't need to be great to keep me watching, moderately entertaining and zany will do. It's all just killing time until IRIS anyway :)
