This story could have been told in 12 or 16 episodes; it was dragging toward the end. Good story, but too long.

KSW and CJW did an excellent job in this drama! Their rapport and acting ability were truly luminous here. I haven't seen a pair as great as they are. They not only look good together, they have great chemistry, too. How I wish they made more dramas together after this. There were no awkward moments which sometimes we see in leading men and women- they look very comfortable with each other. This is one love story no one should miss seeing in their lifetime. I never felt bored looking at KSW's sad, brooding look. I haven't seen anyone surpass that look. He is by no means perfect in looks but he emotes very well and in my book, that's perfection....

I find this drama entertaining yet frustrating. The seemingly selfless acts of Jung-suh to back away from Song-ju is in fact very selfish. Also, if she truely loves Jong-su why would she want to saddle him with her crazy step sister? So "stepping aside" to allow a marriage to take place that will no doubt result in total heatbreak, chaos and stress is not an act of selflessness. It's stupid! That said how presumtious of her to assume that if she steps aside he would EVEN WANT to marry her??? AND WHY would anyone want to marry a man who's heart is attached to someone else? Very strange! I also find it strange that a personal conflict in one's life can bankrupt a multi-million, global corporation or that one working in said corp. would be totally broke in less than a weeks time of ending employment. Don't get me started on Jung-suh's father... he hears that is child was beaten by the step mom on a daily basis and nothing comes out of his mouth? I know, lots of questions and comments for a drama. Still.....
