The first four episodes were absolutely brutal. In fact, I would call this story downright sadistic as far as how these people treated each other. The romance was handled very very well and I enjoyed the romance and the growing love very much. Initially, I wasn't sure if I was going to like the male lead, Mr. Gojin, because his personality was so ruthless and uncaring to others. But I knew that the story would likely make him a better person in the end and that there was going to be a lesson in this for him. But he was so callous I started to think he may just be unredeemable. Lee Sina, his long suffering secretary was no better. I wanted to root for her but I could not understand why she refused to leave despite his horrible treatment of her. But when she finally gets the nerve to stand up for herself is when she learned some bad news and figures out that she has nothing to lose anyway. So she sets off on getting revenge and boy is that revenge brutal. I couldn't believe that I actually started to feel bad for Mr Gojin. I started to look at Lee Sina in a way that she was not redeemable herself. She treated Mr Gojin horribly when he was at his weakest. To get revenge of someone when they are at their most vulnerable, to me, is an act of cowardice. But when he finally gives Lee Sina the truth and gets his own revenge on her I was floored by how sadistic he was. My sympathy went back and forth between them. His revenge on his secretary, was much funnier than her revenge on him. Both actors did a great job. For the first five episodes I could not root for either of them. But by episode 6 I was rooting for them and rooting for them as a couple. I enjoyed the romantic tension and the growing understanding for each other's situation. This was against my better judgment because they had been so horrible to each other and at one point they actually have a physical altercation in which they hit each other. It doesn't matter if they were hitting with pillows there was anger behind those blows a.d they were hitting each other hard. As the story progressed I started to feel very sympathetic towards Mr Gojin. A lot had happened to him that he simply did not deserve. What I found perplexing was how everyone managed to blame Mr Gojin for everything. I don't know if it's because he was a handsome ,wealthy, and successful genius, and they were just jealous but no matter what went wrong in their lives they blamed him for it. Even the main villains blamed Mr Gojin for mistakes that he did not make. It seems like everyone was blaming him for no reason at all for their own shortcomings their own bad behaviors and when the time came for consequences they blamed Mr Gojin for any consequences they had to face. The one lady who had a parent make a terrible accusation against her that resulted in her losing her job blamed Mr Gojin for what the parent did, when he had nothing to do with it. Even though she was aware that someone had made these stories up about her she still managed to blame him. So it felt to me after a while like he was being mistreated for things he was not doing and even set up and targeted constantly. The thing that bothered me at the end was forgiveness. I get that he was trying to be a better person but some of those people did not deserve to be forgiven especially after many of them broke the law in order to harm him.
