Genre: Family, Mystery, Melodrama, Suspense
Episodes: 20
Broadcast period: 2013-Sep to 2013-Nov
Cast: Choi Ji Woo, Lee Sung Jae, Wang Ji Hye
and Kim So Hyun.
After the sudden death of his wife Eun
Sang Chul (Lee Sung Jae) decides to hire a housekeeper to do the housework
while the family starts to deal with the passing away. But when the housekeeper
arrives he and his four children are surprised to meet Park Bok Nyeo (Choi Ji
Woo) a cold woman, who doesn’t change her facial expression, nor does she
meddle in family affairs, and weirdest of all she will do anything she is
ordered to - no matter what it is. The youngest Hye Gyeol is smitten by her and
accepts her right away, while everyone else is suspicious. And it doesn’t help
that she refuses to talk about her past or family.
Things go crazy in the house when the
children find out that their father had an affair, and that the mother might
have ended her life because of it…
The less you know about a drama, the more
interesting it is! I honestly didn’t expect this to go this way, it ended up
being pretty action packed! Or whatever you would call it. I have to say I was
pleasantly surprised by how they managed to fool me, and I really have started
to like Choi Ji Woo. And OMG, that stalker! I mean I was so crept out.. Like I
get murderer, even killer, but damn he was creepy - even though he was
handsome.. Besides that the fathers character was one of my favorites, he was
honestly one of the best characters in this drama, some might disagree, but out
of all the most humane of all and the one that showed most growth out of all.
Like in 20 episodes, he grew. Which is most important, honestly. Same for the
neighbor, really didn’t expect it.
That said, there are so many bad things as
well. To start off it really is official, I don’t like Wang Ji Hye.. No matter
if she acts like a villain, the heroine, side kick or just is there, she annoys
me.. Every single time I see her I just get disappointed. So Hyuns story
started well, but then she got an unnecessary love story which didn’t even get
any attention, and left me just angry at the end. Now that we are on the
subject of love, they should have given the main love story a bit more space..
Seriously, words are not enough.
Lol, when I started this, I sort of
thought I had a lot, not as much as I though. :P
Anyways, I didn’t give many stars, but it
really is a new kind of drama, much different than the usual Korean melodrama..
Occacionally too much, but surprises you often.. So I would give it a shot if I
were you :)
