A promising beginning , but ultimately culminating in a dissatisfying end. I am one who usually appreciates the more subtle (slower moving ) kdramas, however over time i found myself struggling to empathise with female leads feebleness, her tendency to create her own challenges & barriers to happiness, with her steadfast failure to get "up the learning curve". The character of the mother-in-law vacillated between a lioness righteously protectting her cub(s) to a wannabee villain bent on torturing her daughter in law.
