Where to start.

When I started this i was so hyped, I loved the start and the premise that was set.

Oh Soo Jae, a Smart and strong lawyer (played by Seo Hyun Jin) carrying a deep wound that never healed waiting for her moment of revenge. She then meet out male lead Hwang In Youp and together they start the journey seeking justice against what have happened to them.

The antagonist is her CEO Choi Tae Goog played by Heo Joon Ho, and his family and circle also former father in law who has been playing her dirty, using her for years and years and committed heinous crimes against our main leads.

All the ingredients for a fantastic revenge story are there but there's something missing.

Episode after episode you keep watching everything happening and you keep waiting for the female lead to have something prepared, if not to attack at least to defend herself but I was left in awe every time the episode finished and she was just left as a victim and being surprised by the facts and revelations as I was.

I mean you have 10 of planning your revenge to take everyone down and you have no plan or evidence whatsoever? They spent 15 episodes attacking her and doing whatever they wanted to her and the rest of her team and only on the very last episode they won but just because of some circumstantial evidence?!? Are you serious??? If not because Ha IL Goo ( secretary of the CEO) and the youngest son of the CEO betrayed him, they would have never won the case, so what's actually her strength??? I was honestly shocked, Both leads were as good as a plant when it came to the final case.

Also some unnecessary things in this drama, the romance bit is useless and cringe to watch for the lack of chemistry. It had more sense for the story to hve given the male lead role to Bae In Hyuk playing Choi Yoon Sang, exploiting the conflict with his family and his pursuit of justice and love for the female lead. But it was made such irrelevant character, what a shame.

The show is good enough to keep you hooked and because you are waiting always for the big reveal and wanting her to show her master plan you will keep watching!

But the reveal never comes and there's no master plan or shocking effect and even though the ending its good and positive with a closure for everyone, I didn't find it satisfactory enough.

I hope they keep making kdramas like this with Strong and independent females leading, just make a better script for the love of bod.
