Drama Digest

Yoon Jae Hee is in charge of the operational group at Space Jin, a branch of operations at Sung Jin Cultural Foundation. She is the head of the organisation. She is the daughter-in-law of the family, who holds the charge for the organisation and is the wife of Jung Joon Hyuk. She left her long time lover and married him for the greed of money and power as she believes that poverty and lack of money destroy love and affection. Her husband is labelled as the illegitimate and useless son of the family and ignores this tag forever. She is determined to make her husband the president of the nation.

The Feel-Good Part

This series broadcasted on various platforms all over the internet has shown some excellent character development among Korean dramas. The female lead, the head of the organisation her husband’s family owns, is very bold and robust, which brings a newmade charm to the series. The way she handled the situation he faced daily was applaudable. This series adds another star to its makers by being a long and exhaustive series, which is comfortable for the viewers, holding the attention of the audience. It keeps them excited and eager for the story.

The Disappointing Factor

The show is short for the type of content it shows, and the duration is also too much for a lot of audiences. The story revolves around the main characters, and it somewhat ignores the other characters from the story. The female lead choosing her husband’s greed over anything shows dishonesty for her nation and organization. The main characters are highlighted the most and given the most screen time, which does no justice to the other main characters in the show. The plot twist of the show is wacky and unsatisfying.

In-Depth Analysis

Yoon Jae Hee is one of the great female leads. Her love for her work and to her husband is shown when she chooses and takes side of him every time, which also indicates how deep-rooted and lovable her personality is. The female and male leads are evil and selfish but do not care for each other. The male lead is always in the pursuit of removing this tag. The few cheerful sections shown under this grim theme of the series are refreshing and thought-provoking and notable.

Star Power

Jung Joon Hyuk and Yoon Jae Hee’s character is well-scripted for the main leads of the show. Both of them are elegant, and have a firm behaviour for others, even though they have their own plans. Yoon Jae Hee holds her pride and knows herself better. She is confident in herself and knows her husband’s pain. The charming way everyone keeps their role, whether it is negative or positive, is tremendously stellar. Set in the framework of an art museum belonging to the family, it shows the political and financial world of South Korea.

Overall Opinion

An inspiring story with inspiring characters. A good investment for your time!c
