Whip out your makjang bingo card (easy misunderstandings, cut short scenes/dialogues, holding back when scolded, wrongfully convicted, extremely incompetent police, extremely capable characters with pulling any string, eavesdropping at the right moment like a superpower, triple birth secret, pseudo incest, comeback as rich, fake death, too many crimes with little to no punishment... ) honestly you could fill a stack of bingo cards. Given its length there was obvious planning issues, the drama hit a major road block at episode 66 and had to hard press the reset button, setting everything back 20 steps. That wasn't enough as the drama, once again, soft hit the reset button at episode 105 and one more time at episode 114 to buy more time. This drama wasn't different from the ones alike it at all but there was a serious drop in overall quality in the second half. It got seriously sloppy and lacked the slightest attention to details. One example is how important scenes are empty, such as the company's 30th celebration had a couple of tables and only the family was there, yet they were delivering a speech as if it was a major event for the entire company. Another one with the investors voting where they showed only one investor. There were many other examples were the drama needed to hire a few random extras to fill some gaps. On a side note, where did Bae Dal Bong disappear? Per usual, character stop showing up suddenly with no explanation has become a normal occurrence with modern daily makjangs. I could go on forever but everything can be boiled down to the fact that if the drama kept its consistency from the first half it wouldn't have been as bad. One final thing, while Uhm Hyun Kyung is mostly fine but she lacked a tiny bit of oomph to better sell the revenge story here.
