  Hold onto your seats, folks, because I've got a tale of revenge that really packs a punch! Our villainous mastermind commits a slew of crimes, and you'd think justice would catch up to them, but oh, how wrong you'd be! The drama starts off like a firecracker, with just the right amount of suspense and thriller vibes. But brace yourselves, because the second half takes a risky detour into the world of corporate chaos. Now, I know what you're thinking - what's so exciting about...

  office politics? Well, my friends, let me tell you, this show really knows how to keep you on your toes. Sure, there are a few episodes where we get caught up in some unnecessary brawls, but fear not, for there's a light at the end of the tunnel. The drama initially had us engrossed in the lives of these incredible kids, but like a magician's vanishing act, they disappeared from the screen, only to return for a mind-blowing finale. All in all, the first half is a delight, and I guarantee you won't want to miss it!

  This revenge drama, although initially shaky, turned out to be a standout show. The plot was well-crafted and unfolded over several episodes, allowing for a deep exploration of the story. Unlike other revenge plots, the main character's motives were not solely reliant on flashbacks. This allowed for the growth and development of each character, even when faced with adversity instigated by Chun Mi Ja. However, the length of the show could have been tightened, particularly in the first part.
  
  Most of the characters were well-developed, with...

  standout performances from Oh Ha Ni and Sung Soo. Their unwavering commitment to their beliefs, even when facing abandonment, made them relatable protagonists. On the other hand, Lee Tae Hyeon's character was not as fleshed out. Nevertheless, Oh Hyun Kyung's portrayal of Chun Mi Ja was excellent, capturing her strengths, weaknesses, and worldview convincingly. Although the rest of the cast performed adequately, there were no standout performances.
  
  The length of the show was a noticeable drawback. While it could be enjoyed during an extended break, it may not be the best choice for those with limited time. However, skipping episodes and watching key moments from Ha Ni's comeback onwards could be a viable alternative. Overall, this drama captivated with its gripping storyline, evoking emotional reactions and providing a satisfying ending. I highly recommend giving it a try, especially if you have the time to invest in a lengthy revenge drama.
