Disappointing - Stop Watching after Episode 12
I agree with other reviewers who said the first 12 episodes were good. They were entertaining and fun. But around 12, I knew the writer(s) wasn't going to let the characters have a happy ending, and I did not want to watch them self-destruct. Also, after reading the synopsis of the last episode and seeing Hong Seo Jung was missing from it, I especially did not want to watch. I couldn't help but be disappointed by the characters' stupidity (they were just plain stupid) and gullibility. Really? You really believed he would stop? How could the two main characters not know he was a self-centered, pathological liar? It defies belief. It doesn't fit the storyline. Hwang Dae-Du's reasoning, too, is thin and impossible to believe. He's got issues, period. After 12, I jumped around and skipped most of episodes 13, 14 and 15. Perhaps it's the genre. But, I felt worse after watching the unsatisfying ending. Besides, nothing is stronger than love.

Disappointing
I enjoyed it at the beginning, but then it started to take itself too seriously. Do writers really think we enjoy watching all these people cry? I got tired of all the female jealousy and infighting. As someone said, stupid people making stupid mistakes over and over again. Very few redeeming characters. So much supposed sadness and heartache. Superficial characters with infatuations, lust for power and jealous hearts. No real growth, no real character development. Characters who cannot see through obvious manipulations and have no self-awareness. Or, maybe that's the writing. They all seem so immature, and some just act like petulant children. Maybe pampered and protected people end up being this way, but we are not really given the opportunity to care about any of these characters.
