As I was watching this show, I kept trying to convince myself that it will get better, it will get better. For what it's worth, the acting was great. I think Han So-Hee clearly cemented her place as a top female actress in Korea. Park Hee-Soon and Kim Sang-Ho never disappoint. The problem was that we've all seen countless iterations of this story. It's just a question of is the person seeking revenge a male or female? Whose death set the main character on the path of vengeance? Who's the really villain? Does the end justify the mean? Etc., etc., etc. The show runners made sure not to miss out on any cliches. But yet, I tried to convince myself to like it. Hoping for a surprisingly refreshing ending. Then, in Ep. 8, the director could not resist the temptation to throw in a mid-city car chase/crash and a completely formulaic love/sex scene. By the end of the show, the sheer cliche overload was exhausting and I was simply happy that it finally came to a stop, albeit very predictable end. If you're a big fan of Han So-Hee, why not. For all others, you might want to invest 8 hrs of your life on something else.
