Drama Digest

Pyo In Sook saw sadness and the pain of grief and frustration at a young age when her parents abandoned her. She was raised by her grandmother, but her life has never been easy. She grew up and now works as a scrubber for the public bathhouses. She is devastated again when she knows that she doesn’t have much time, as she suffers from a terminal illness. She becomes emotionless and lives her life out of hurt. She meets other two women of different life trajectories and then discovers Min Woo Cheon, who destroyed all the three women’s lives. They seek revenge, only to know she’s developing feelings for him.

The Feel-Good Part

A drama with sixteen episodes of around 60 min long, it is an elaborate drama that explains and explores every sector of the story. Being long makes it exciting to watch and accessible for viewers. The enchanting story of Pyo In Sook finding a new kind of love with Min Woo Cheon is very refreshing to watch. There are  significant misunderstandings and problems between the two main characters, which root down to their life values. Love can be found again, and the healing from past and present pains has become easier ever since.

The Disappointing Factor

The ending of the story is rushed with no comfortable closure given to the series, mainly because of the short screen time of the show. The story’s theme is slightly triggering for viewers, as most viewers can’t see someone like the female lead struggle so much. The music is also disappointing and not prominent in the 1-hour episode in all the sixteen episodes. It is not worth watching again. The ending ruins the complete fun of watching the entire series. Some scenes are inappropriate and unnecessary.

In-Depth Analysis

The male and female lead has a different kind of relationship with each other. They need each other in such a framework, where the female lead feels alone and lonely in her job and feels sad for her incoming death. The attitude they hold for each other after they meet is unique. They still respect each other but are never expect to fall in love until they wish to seek revenge. It has a strong script. The series shows a different take on love, which is applaudable to watch.

Star Power

The male and female lead have different kinds of backgrounds. The female lead is strong, independent, and with a lot of pain and sadness, her pain pauses until she meets two women while receiving care for her illness. While Seong Mi Do is a social media influencer, Kang Se Yeon is an ordinary housewife with an ordinary life. She then meets Min Woo Cheon, a contract killer working for a private detective organisation. Their plan for killing him comes from his doings, changing their lives. They soon change their plans.

Overall Opinion

A different story with a unique love. A worthwhile watch!!
