this was really a family drama..only
to be honest the drama is not bad. Just that its highly based on family and work issues. Huan Huan and her mother find it really hard to get along with each other but it makes sense cause its almost impossible to get along with the mother. The drama is highly focused on the mother but she doesnt really have any character development.On the other hand however, Huan Huan's character is really good. She is confident and out spoken and is willing to fight for her loved ones. I did not feel frustrated watching her and her scenes was actually quite refreshing. The male lead also YZM is a very big green flag. Their romance is mature and very natural with no issues.
If you are looking for fluff then it will be better to watch the romance highlights on youtube. If you like the family genre then u might like this show but the scenes with the mother....u might feel like flipping the table.

That Plot Twist!
The drama perfectly blended romance, crime, thriller and mystery with an engaging plot and amazing acting by the cast. You are shown the double life of our male lead which establishes the base for the drama. Their love and trust in each other is clearly depicted and in some cases can be really heartbreaking :((The drama will really keep you on your edge. But really its the acting....the acting was insane I was getting goosebumps so often.
The OSTs are good as well, along with the directing and filming. Both leads are very smart and have amazing chemistry.

stayed for the mum and grandma...
After the success of the first show, I had high expectations for this. Although there were funny part, the story was not as engaging and exciting. There wasnt much chemistry between the leads do I lost interest in the romance. The scenes with the mum and her grandma was the most fun so those were interesting. Other than that I was skipping through most of it....Was this review helpful to you?
started strong....but then what happened?
I was really excited to see Kang Ki Young as the lead and the couple was cute in the beginning! The plot started out as every other revenge plot where a naive girl is betrayed by her rich partners and decides to plan a revenge on them. Yes its a common plot but its okay, if the story is good it can still be a great show.However....the strategies used were bad and not satisfying, there were many instances were the female lead who was depicted as someone strong and smart fell into traps and became a damsel in distress...
In regards of romance, the female lead gave almost no chance for the male lead which made it seem like the male lead was just being desperate and the romance was one-sided. When the male lead tries to stop her from making wrong decisions she just ignores it and does it anyway...
Around the halfway mark, I lost interest in the plot and romance seeing no hope for a satisfying ending...

an unexpected surprise!
I didnt have very high expectations for this drama and thought of starting it with the plan to just breeze through it. BUT who knew, this show was actually not bad! The cases were interesting and by watching them solve it I actually learnt a few tips :) They were able to explain concepts and ideas in simple terms making the drama more relatable. Every case was related to psychology and understanding the intentions of the culprit based on specific actions that can be triggered via the brain.The acting was average, there wasn't any heavy/deep plot for the actors to display their acting. It was more of a casual and light set up.

hmm I thought it will be more fun?
Went into this drama thinking it will be a fun casual drama but was shocked to find out there was a crime plot involved. This was actually interesting and it started out well. There was a lot of potential until coincidentally they made every suspicious person a suspect (you will understand this if u have reached this part).The portion on the body switches was interesting and I thought it will be the reason for character development in the leads. The female lead was a strong individual who was strong headed and fierce and did not really show compassion for others. However, the male lead was the complete opposite. Although the male lead has a sudden change in personality because of something, there was no change made to the female character....until the ML turned on her...
What I liked about the plot will be the marketing strategies and ideas they came up with to establish an unknown brand. It was a new field that we dont see very often in kdramas.
Overall, this will not be a show I will rewatch as the chemistry between the leads felt in the earlier episodes was all lost towards the end...
