Broadcast period: 2018-Feb to 2018-Mar
Cast: Kim Nam Joo, Ji Jin Hee, Jeon Hye Jin, Im Tae

Go Hye
Ran (Kim Nam Joo) is the top announcer, famous for her beauty and ability to
stay relevant for seven years. This has taken a toll on her marriage with her
husband Kang Tae Wook (Ji Jin Hee), a prosecutor from a wealthy family. The two
rarely talk, and only stay together because of the title.
When her
boss pressures her to step down, to have a younger announcer fill the seat, Hye
Ran is given the last opportunity to save the seat, by doing a special on the
famous American-Korean golfer Lee Jae Young (Go Joon). But when she meets him,
she realizes that he is her past lover she had left, right before marrying Tae
Wook. Jae Young has a vendetta against Hye Ran and to make matters worse, he is
now married to her childhood friend Seo Eun Joo (Jeon Hye Jin).
Bewildered
by the situation, unwilling to let out a scandal, afraid to ruin her position,
and determined to keep her position, she decides to work with Jae Young, even
if it means to be terrorized by him.
But when
he is found dead, all evidence points to Hye Ran, so Tae Wook decides to defend
her - and everything is turned upside down…
When I
first heard about this drama, I really liked the premise, and it seemed to be a
bit different than the usual k-dramas out there. Though I finished it, and I kind
of did watch it because of the story, I didn’t expect it to be so dark and
quite frankly twisted. The entire thing was made in dark colors, and the
characters were much complicated than your usual k-drama. Unfortunately, that
didn’t make this drama better, it just made seem like a spiral of cruelty and sorrow.
You are not aware of this while watching it, but by the ending depression sinks
in, as it really is a gloomy drama. The drama does give you small hopes along
the way, only to crash in the end… And God I disliked the ending. Not because the
ending was bad, but how it was executed…
Acting
wise: good, even though it’s the first time watching Kim Nam Joo act, so I have
nothing to compare it with.
So all
in all, do I recommend? I don’t really know - not something I would watch again…
